Madden NFL 11 Video: Showing off the "Swagger"

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Showing off the "Swagger"

I don't mind the "swagger" stuff, it does add personality to the players. My only qualm with it is that the "swagger" animations seem to play out too fast, like the players are in warp speed. If EA were to slow the animations down a little bit I think it would look more realistic and add even more personality to the game.

Also, for players like Jared Allen and Chad Johnson, I'd like to see them kind of run off on their own (kind of like, uh oh here it comes) and then do the swagger animation. Especially with the Chad Johnson one, he barely crossed the goal line and then broke out in a quick swagger animation, it just detracts from the realism a bit. The Adrian Peterson swagger animation looked pretty good though.

Not major major stuff, just minor tweaks in my opinion.

OK..There is nothing to be "WOWED" about...I've seen celebrations in madden before.This isnt different. Chad Johnson did the riverdance last year also...SMH!

Imma create Deion Sanders and give him a 100 swag rating(if its possible)

I am going to create a punter with 99!!!

Seroiusly though.....if this works - it is about time and I say thank you for putting emotion in a game that was void of it since......well since it's inception.

Are guys going to be happy when they win a big game? Will these "high swag" guys also show equally pi##ed off emotion when appropriate? That would be nice.

I'm amazed they got Chris Johnson's "Choppa City Juke" that accurate. Good stuff EA!

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Showing off the "Swagger"

At first I thought the swagger rating was just wierd but now I must say I love it and it makes sense. Not everybody celebrates and some people celebrate all the time and some celebrate sometimes.

My only concern with it is how it will work with NCAA draft classes. Not a big deal but something I would like to know.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Showing off the "Swagger"

I'm just glad it only affects celebrations.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Showing off the "Swagger"

Well. That was awesome.

Really love the idea to finally add some personality to the players. And from that little video it looks like it's been implemented well. Can't wait to test it out myself.

Looks pretty cool, not a biggie...but the little things are always "neato"--Me Like

[statum71]

anything that helps bring emotion and personality to the game, I'm all for.

Me too!!!! These guys complaining apparently don't watch football.

Guys just walking away after a big play? I hardly EVER see that in real life.

Thanks EA. I like "swagger."

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Showing off the "Swagger"

This could be a good feature, but it really needs custom celebrations to choose from also. The amount of swagger could mean how often this player celebrates, or gets a chance to pull off a custom celebration.......now that would be a sweet feature!

I really liked those cut scenes...nice job with what I can see in the above video EA devs

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Showing off the "Swagger"

Looks awesome guys I agree! can't wait for august!

Same here! I can't wait to make my "All Swag Team".

Oh and if they have the Merton Hanks chicken dance (or whatever it's called) in the game I might just buy two copies.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Showing off the "Swagger"

Double Trouble's "Matrix" needs to be in. Or I won't buy. (Not really, but seriously guys...put it in there.)

FYI - for those not "in the know" Double Trouble is DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart...the best RB combo in the NFL.
