Hurdles are nothing new

Right! And Madden recycles something old and calls it new every year smh. They always take something old and claim its some new innovative improvement. I've been playing Madden since Madden 2000 and it kills me how much they have taken out just to put back in only to claim its new. We getting hype over jukes and hurdles that were already in the game in the past. new cleats and gloves that should have been in the game. A single arm sleeve that was in NCAA years ago. so called defensive adjustments that stop money plays that will eventually get exploited. Gap assignments that should have been in the game when they so called worked on the defensive side of that ball years ago. They bragged about wr/db interaction like on the old system you couldn't jam the receiver and really mess up the play. All madden does is recycle and half the people complain, while the other half either call people trolls or eat the new stuff up like its a huge improvement.

The hurdle itself looks good. The main problem is the transition from the running to the hurdling. Way too sudden. Just doesn't happen that way in real life. I can understand however, this may have been done to give more control responsiveness to the user. e.g. Press the hurdle button = the runner hurdles, which some players would prefer, not shuffling of feet leading to a hurdle which would have made the animation more realistic. Tough decision to make for a developer.

My god that running animation is ugly

Re: Madden NFL 17 Video - New Hurdle Move

I hate to be that guy but here's one of the things I hate about the way EA and Madden do things, ok the hurdle looked clean and that's fine, BUT I rather have ran into this animation while playing the game and had that "wow did that just happen" factor kick in, but instead I have the I hope this hurdle feature wont be overpowered in the game feel, because we all know anything new in Madden will be beat over our heads over and over to make sure everyone gets to see the new feature in the game.


Oh and the ugly running animations has always been a problem in Madden so I wont even speak on it any further.

Get off the soap box and be constructive; I get that there are several features/things in Madden that have regressed BUT there are several things that have improved over the years as well.

This thread is specific about hurdles so stay on point.

Re: Madden 17 to Feature New Hurdle Moves

The running motion reminds me of Woody from Toy Story.

This is too accurate Lol

I do not know how to post this new video, but on Facebook, on the EA Sports Madden NFL page, there is a new video on the SPIN move; was posted about 25 minutes ago.

Re: Madden NFL 17 Video - New Hurdle Move

You guys have been wanting a new kicking interface for years, they give it to you and people complain that they had a similar interface in the past.

There are a lot of things in Madden that deserve our criticism, but complaining about them adding a new kicking interface because it is similar to one in the past is pretty petty to be honest.

[phenom2311]

Inexcusable to have bad and unnatural looking running animations at this point.

Do you really care about a "new" hurdle when we've been able to hurdle people for multiple games. The point I was making and responding to is that they always hype some stuff that shouldn't be hyped. A new hurdle, wow I really want to buy the game now. If you get that hype over stuff that's been in the game that's your opinion but I'd rather them do something actual worthwhile than showing us stuff that's been in the game. Those new jukes were in the last gen, I used to do them all the time. New swats? When haven't we been able to do a swat. Better zone coverage? Don't we hear that every year? The D line finally doing what they should have been doing (following where their gaps are) has been complained about for years. Blocked kicks will probably be complained about being OP within weeks of the release. Still no formation subs? That's crazy. New single sleeves that have been in ncaa for years is nice but not super exciting. Finally upgraded cleates and gloves? It's about time. I love football and Madden is all we have so I want them to do all they can, not just recycle and claim stuff as new. I just want the game to actually improve rather keep feeling like the same every year. As many madden games I've bought over the years I have the right to complain. I get bored of the game in like a month every year but I love football so i buy it anyway. Not saying the game might not be better, but I doubt it will be drastically better. There is a reason people criticize EA so much.

Trouble is, EA isn't hyping these 17 second trailers as a new addition from scratch. If people are hyping 17 second trailers, that is on them. I think most of us are under the impression they are enhancing on what they have in the game now.

On paper, this game doesn't appear the same as 17. We'll find out soon enough.

I just think your message has been pounded several times in the past and it starts to sound like the dreaded beating horse.

You would be in the minority of people on OS who gave up on 16 within a month, a lot of us are still playing 16 because of the much improved game play.

Re: Madden NFL 17 Video - New Hurdle Move

I think the hurdle is nice and all, but the run animation is so terrible that I either want Madden 15's run animations back including the QB run animation, or they go back into the vault and use this run animation from Madden 07 (starts at 1:22):

But what they're doing with 16 and now 17 is just too awful to keep putting out. I don't want players looking like they're having a stroke while they're running. They gotta do better.

Why can't they ever just fix something first before moving on to something new?

I still play it, I've done 10 seasons three times in CFM but that feeling of it being a new game wears of fast. In the end I get tired of the way the players run the most. I really hate that ice skating feeling when I do running plays. I keep playing madden because I love football but there are always so many things that they could have done to make the game better. I'll admit that 16 does feel better than 15 but I just see so much potential Madden could have and just wish they would go all out.
