Madden NFL 11 Blog Coming Wednesday *UPDATE: Ian Responds

[Steve_OS]

According to Ian's Twitter feed, we should see another Madden NFL 11 blog on Wednesday. Which will include how Madden will use the recently announced locomotion from NCAA Football 11, in their game.

"New NCAA FB 11 gameplay/locomotion blog (http://bit.ly/akQd5H & http://bit.ly/9zkdoe) <-- Woo! 'How Madden uses it' blog coming Wednesday "

*UPDATE:

My question...
@ian_cummings OK, how about this one Ian. Will Wednesday's blog contain a video? The NCAA video blog was great, talked about and showed it.

Ian's response...
@Steve_OS plan was to do a more dev-centric blog more like the M10 blogs, not a slick 'produced' one. Might have to change now.

Re: Blog Coming Wednesday

Outstanding!!!!!!!!

Everybody's doin' a brand new dance, now
Come on, baby, do the Loco-Motion
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance, now
Come on, baby, do the Loco-Motion
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier to learn than your ABC's
So come on, come on, and do the Loco-Motion with me

You got to swing your hips now
Come on, jump up, jump back
Oh, babe, I think you got the knack, whoa whoa

Now that you can do it, well let's make a chain now
Come on, baby, do the Loco-Motion
A chugga-chugga motion like a railroad train now
Come on, baby, do the Loco-Motion
Do it nice and easy, now, and don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
Well, come on, come on, and do the Loco-Motion with me

Significant improvements.

This may take away some of the pain of getting my teeth drilled on Wednesday! If it looks as good as NCAA's does we definently have a good year of football on our hands.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Blog Coming Wednesday

impressed with the way NCAA has implemented the locomotion system. Hope that Madden takes it to the next level...how cool would signature running styles be??

Re: Madden NFL 11 Blog Coming Wednesday

Well it is looking very promising for both madden 11 and ncaa 11 this coming year. How well will this make the game look in a few months are so is still up in the air. But so far the video from ncaa 11 blog today looks pretty good to me. So gives a lot hope to fans who still believe in EA. I guess BB has given EA a reason to take the next step in technology to make the animation better for the game. Can't wait for the blog.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Blog Coming Wednesday

I wonder how these locomotion implementations will vary?

I'm wondering WHY it will vary? It seems to me that locomotion should be locomotion, no matter which game it's in. Hmm, Can't wait to see this.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Blog Coming Wednesday

Hmmm...Could be interesting. I don't read the NCAA blogs or watch the videos but, I'll have to read that Locomotion blog for NCAA to see what it is about.

Yeah its just a matter of motion capturing players... i dont think its going to make it in this year though.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Blog Coming Wednesday

Wow.

NCAA 11 locomotion looked so much better than NCAA 10. Since locomotion is in from the NCAA series then I believe the locomotion will be almost If not completely identical. Hopefully they have a vid also, finally a blog I can get excited about.

it definitely needs to be tuned differently for madden. the speed of the nfl game and the speed of the college game are two totally different things. the two ways to make this happen would be to change their ratings system or tune the locomotion to their liking. it's probably easier to tune this new system to what is already in place.
