Really liking this. In that first video alone, it's very easy to see you guys are taking a serious sim approach to this. Before looks like cheap arcade, and the new finally looks like Next Gen gaming we've all dreamed of.

Adding these animations also allowed us the ability to call more realistic pass interference penalties. We've added a lot of variety that ranges from minor hand-fighting to severe push-offs and holds, so now we can make sure that pass interference gets called in a much more accurate manner. We're using the man coverage rating of the defender to determine how well he keeps the WR in check and how often he gets penalized.

that jump the route animation is sick. cant wait to see some pick 6s.

one thing about wr vs db that is unfair is that the DBs can strafe catch and the WRS cant. i win pretty much every battle where the ball is in the air and i switch to the DB and just hit left trigger and Y and leap up because the WR doesnt do anything.

hopefully this means the WRs will actually have some new jump animations.

Re: Latest Madden NFL 10 blog - WR/DB Interaction

Sounds good to me!

"Lastly, we've started to use Procedural Awareness (so far just as a purely visual thing). We recently got head tracking in pre-play for WR's so they now look in towards the ball at the snap. This has been long overdue. We also enabled Procedural Awareness head tracking for DB's. In man coverage they will directly 'track' the eyes of the WR, and in zone coverage they will track the QB's eyes, with the ability to also randomly swap targets based on proximity of guys entering their zone."

If you can get the DB's reacting to player in their zone, covering some routes and opening up others, that would be something that no other game has done before and would really change the offensive football in video gaming.

Any hope of getting this in?

This all sounds awesome but what about the issue of the wrs being so passive on jump balls? Dbs like Ellis Hobbs shouldn't be able to dominate big strong wrs on fades and high balls constantly. That's gotta be fixed for 10. Darn near impossible to throw fades right now.
