Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Developer Series - Gameflow. Gameplanning. Locomotion.

Maybe im just not seeing what everyone else is, I am far from impressed with this so called locomotion upgrade because i am seeing many serpentine turns with out as much as a footplant or chopping or a gather of any sort.

i think it looks awsome!,remember guys this thing isnt even fully done yet,they got four more months to polish and get stuff right. i know im stoked

It's basically May now, so they have 2 to 2.5 half months left, not 4. So they should be starting to "polish" up soon.

Pro-Tak doesn't even look like its on? LOTS of falling, and most broken tackles are strange.

So far the running animations look modestly upgraded.. Still way too stiff, but I'll take any improvements at this time.

I like the quicker games cos this means I can now play more minutes per quarter, get more realistic stats and still have a quicker game. My only concerns with this is will the game feel like one big two minute drill ? And please tell me you can still use hot routes. I hot route about 90% of the time.

Of course you can hot-route.

Did you even read my post, and what I quoted? What does that have to do with loco-motion??

Yeah I did, cowboy. You said that EA isn't working on any SIM features and just producing gimmicks for quick sales (usual rhetoric). I said locomotion is a massive sim feature, effectively discrediting your point.

I usually don't like to confront posters because it doesn't really help, but that post really annoyed me so I figured I'd inject some logic into the discussion... it didn't take much.

besides the jukes, where are the instances of locomotion?

what happens when a pass is made that a persons locomotion shouldnt allow them to catch? do they miss it or does it somehow make its way to the player?

yea, the players look just like the NCAA video to me.. like they are skating on ice.
I do like the whole idea of a gameplan, and the offensive coordinator calling in plays to you.
Lets hope that its implemented 100%, and working as it should, and not yet another half implemented feature.

Some good info here, but man, i really dislike these over produced EA infomercials that they use to get the game details out..

*sigh* Still looks like Game Cube graphics!

[Gosens6]

I don't know, people seem to picky I think it looks great. The one thing that is bothering me though is what other people have mentioned and thats the tackles. The extreme absence of pro-tak is a serious let down. Every tackle I saw was a one on one takedown with other defenders just falling around them.

I did not like this run....I mean it is in the rain, but the rb is able to shift his body up field in a weird way after the juke he did.

I swear I see more gliding in these recent videos than in Madden 10, maybe I'm just remembering wrong....

I will say I like the game planning feature....it would be funny/fun if there was an online mode where it forces both players to use which ever team they pick team's gameplan.

It would be pretty realistic and frustrating funny, if they did a good job researching teams......being stuck using Jimmy Raye's play calls would drive me crazy...but at least I would try to make it work.....almost like a game within a game.

yea that looks terrible because the runner is moving in different directions without every slowing down, without foot planting, its just all 1 smooth motion which does not look right.

Wow really? I think NCAA movement looks much better than this

Yeah, the foot planting still leaves a lot to be desired. That looks terrible. For what it's worth, I complained heavily at CD.

Ive been trying to tell you guys that. This was in NBA Live

That's exactly why I said you would hate it. A soccer movement does not belong in basketball nor football.

Wait til you feel it though, especially on defense when you would otherwise be able to cut off a lane and the guy takes 10 seconds to do a cut.

There really is no footplanting in this sense. It was there in Live 09 and taken out and replaced by this. Enjoy it though, you will probably like some aspects of it, and some of it, case in point you wont.
