Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A Blog with the Dev Team

Haven't read through the entire thread but, a couple things.

Have you looked into the WR over the (wrong) shoulder catch animation? Corner routes and out routes look pretty bad when this animation fires unnecessarily.

Will the receiver make a play on the deep ball or will they go into aforementioned over-the-shoulder animation and hope the ball falls into their laps?

Have you looked at a way to get more sacks from OLB's in 3-4 schemes. They may need to be automatically put in the game as DE's in dime packages to have them on the field in passing situations.

Will there be any momentum to RB's? Now it seems they either go into "fight for every yard mode" or they stop dead in their tracks and meekly fall down. No wiggle, no forward lean, nothin.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&A Blog with the Dev Team

I'm not sure, but do teams really use 2 RB's without fatigue being a factor? I haven't seen it. You know just subbing in a different RB due to the situation, or field position. If not, can this be added?

no, they don`t...

one more thing they need to work with.

Will the lack of instant replays and lack of custom stadium sounds, chants be addressed in the patch?

1. Please fix ALL penalties, they are hardly called.

2. There are no INJURIES in cpu vs cpu play.

3. OL ratings seems to mean nothing. A kicker can play LT and do just the same as a pro bowl lineman.

4. Players like to magical run to the middle of the field instead of running upfield.

I have videos that breakdown and expose the good and the bad of Madden 10. Please,,I urge you to watch these examples of Madden10 because these issues can no longer be over looked. My videos have gotten people to buy Madden and even gotten gamers to NOT give up on this game. Again ,,I urge you to watch these examples ,,alot of gamers support my videos and we are spreading the word around with the HOPE that someone at EA will come across them.

Come on bro. really?


Anyway, there is a tackle in M10 that I really don't like. It's like a spin tackle where the RB gets hit and spins and gains like an extra 3-4 yards and it's really unrealistic and anti physics.

My point/question issss can any of the patches yall release turn up or down the frequency of tackle/catch animations you see in the game? Everyone knows about the over the shoulder catch and how it's overdone but there are new tackle/catch animations I'm still catching almost everyday but the overusage of other ones make it repetetive and boring.

Re: Q&amp;A blog with the dev team

Where is the game, that the community day guys got to play? From Community day on up til a little after E3, You would post videos and or make blogs about fixes and offer up your experimental antidotes and would even rebut videos and say hey we fix that. Also the Community Day guys bragged about you fixing things and uploading them into the game and those things worked.

With the aforementioned as my witness.

Where is that game? The retail game pail in comparison with Community Day, Blogs, E3, and your rebuttal experiments of fixes in other Q&A's on this forum.

I like to know this question also.

Who cares about injuries CPU vs CPU, did you get Madden to watch the computer play???

Ian, can we please have superbowl history added to players profile? What I'm asking is when a team win the superbowl have it show in player awards.

-Ditto on requesting FULL replays, including carrying out the animation after the player hits the goal line for the TD. It cuts off too quick.

-MORE AUTO REPLAYS....MANY MORE. EVERY TD should kick in an auto replay. So should injuries and key penalties. And can you put the Auto Instant Replay slider in that was planned months ago?

-Can you tone down the shoe string tackles?

-I'll jot this down, although I'm 99% sure there's nothing that will be done this year about it. In offline Franchise, it's the same old lack of action on the part of CPU controlled teams when it comes to Trades. They'll stick a guy on the trading block and he stays there all year. No CPU to CPU trades and no CPU to Human trade offers. BORING.

Leaps and bounds from past "next gen" Maddens, Ian. Thanks.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&amp;A Blog with the Dev Team

Not sure if it's been mentioned.

On a penalty or in other random situations, Madden's play calling voice bleeds into the commentary. Very difficult on the ears. Is this fixable?

Also, I just played a game with the Packers vs Bears. Play call was WR Dig, and I focused on Jennings. Tillman seemed like he knew the route and was a step ahead of Jennings on the cut. I threw the ball at that time and I was surprised Jennings made the catch.

I looked on the replay after the 69 yd gain and the ball went though Tillman's outstretched arms(actually right in the middle) and the football morphed through Tillman's shoulder and into the waiting hands of Jennings.

I know this happens randomly, anyway that is that fixable with a patch or next version?

Re: Madden NFL 10 Q&amp;A Blog with the Dev Team

Is it just me or is it way to easy? I just played all-madden with the broncos and dropped 60 on a team so i guess my question is can we get an explanation on the difficulty sliders or something because the game overall feels too easy compared to last year but overall lovin the game, thanks Ian for actually making madden playable again!
