Re: Madden NFL 10 Gameplay Video: Eagles @ Cowboys (IGN)

Just watched the video for the first time, but nothing in that video impresses me. The cut scene during the pile up looks very arcadey and takes away from the action on the field. But the little kiddies will love it. This isn't a boxing game.

The game has improved and it is obvious. The expectations for this game are high and will never be met in my opinion. For me I will pass judgement until I get my own hands on the game. Though everything I see is positive and has me excited.

I agree all the changes are simple changes that needed to happen your not gonna be wowed by it cause it's been seen in past madden and 2k series. I still want to see how protak tackling is gonna look during the game.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Gameplay Video: Eagles @ Cowboys (IGN)

I'm sure they fixed this already but did you see the players feet during the pile up? The players shoes are kicking through the field. I'm not worried, I just didn't see that the first time.

The locomotion is better still needs some work if you look at the deangelo run and compare it to the westbrook run, there not turning on a quick dime like people are claiming, The line has changed even though I'm starting to think there not gonna be any double team block so I guess will see, The biggest improvement that I noticed right away is that the wrs are planting there foots on there route running instead of just turning twitching like 09. Also no more spinning catch.

The run animation even though improved a little needs to be be scaped next year, I know they said there gonna overhaul there locomotion and borrow fifa. Honestly if you can't see the difference I don't know what to say, I'm starting to think people want madden to fail from the geko, its like a cub fan who can't wait to see how there gonna get disappointed in the playoffs, they do need to work on momentom more 2k had it good sometimes a little to much was forced.

Lol, I loved 2k8; momentom was over done. A lot of people complained it about also. People will always complain. As far as the momentom is concerned, you have to play it to actually get a feel for it.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Gameplay Video: Eagles @ Cowboys (IGN)

Thanx sage people need to breakdown what they don't like and stop whinning, esspically the play when the db is blitzing and misses is target pretty bad and its pretty obvious its user controled which I don't mind so I don't know how you can complain about it. Now if the db was running at the same speed and was able to turn or twitch on a dime and sack mcnabb then I would have been pissed , so I'm actually glad he over pursuited and blow pass him like that.

No problem man you already know. I never got all the emotion and stock some people put in pre release videos.

[tswiatkowski]

I love the new presentation for the game. It looks really good.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Gameplay Video: Eagles @ Cowboys (IGN)

maybe I missed some posts, but the mutitude I DID read were regarding the disappointment in the recent video, not personal attacks

I pretty much see things the same way MJ.

Like you...no, I didn't read every single post, but I did read the majority. And the overall spirit of the posts, imo as well, seem quite reasonable. Simply expressing some disappointment or what some feel still needs improvement. I really didn't read much of anything I'd truly consider mindless bashing.

It's of my opinion anyway....that the members of the OS Madden board have overall done themselfs proud throughout this interaction with the Madden developers. A lot of members have gone above and beyond in trying to help the team with the development of M10. While many others, even through four years of frustration and disappointment with this current gen of the game, have been pretty supportive through this process. I'm sure many may disagree with me...but I honestly don't believe as a community we have really anything to apologize for.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Gameplay Video: Eagles @ Cowboys (IGN)

I agree....but am baffled as to WHY he got so upset to begin with. I mean, maybe I missed some posts, but the mutitude I DID read were regarding the disappointment in the recent video, not personal attacks on Ian at all. And it isn't the first time he's threatened to stop coming here...I know of two other times he's made similar remarks.

I just don't understand what he expected people to say when they saw this video..were we supposed to LIE and say everything looked great when there were some glaring issues in the short video we were shown? Issues that we were TOLD had been fixed, btw.

MAYBE his frustration isn't REALLY with what people said, MAYBE it was about his own disappointment in how the game has turned out this year, especially after all the bold proclamations he's made since taking over last year. Maybe reality has sunk in for him that band-aids cannot cover the gaping wound that is Madden's gameplay.....just a thought.

And how do you know this? You Psychic? What am i thinking about right now?

You dont know, none of us do, so out of respect for the developers..stop the bizzare accusations...besides none of us even know how the game will be until we actually play it, making a judgement from a short clip is just ... silly.

Well you did say maybe

If you have played Madden on all platforms for the last 20 years I think its safe to assume that you can judge from a clip what we MAY be in store for...Also the purpose of the clip is to generate discussion and speculation.

I don't think you can claim victory or defeat with just a few clips but you can gat an idea if the game will be FRESH...Thats what Madden IMO lacks..FRESHNESS...The game is old, its predictable and often not organic...Many sequences or events are canned. Even the new stuff like fighting for the fumble takes on a rather cheesey approach by forcing us to speed tap a button. Thats not nearly a major issue but its just one of those many little things that add up at the end of the day and make you scratch your head and say...Why?...Why the sonic boom sound fr long passes in 2008?, Why the button mashing on a fumble pile up?...Why allow a QB to sprint backwards 25 yards and still throw a dart?

It comes down to Authenticity and Freshness. Graphics have always looked authentic IMO...The graphics are second to none...Where Madden has struggled is the core gameplay and its FRESHNESS. I'd actually be thrilled to pick up Madden and have to re-learn how to do things within the game. As it stands now Year after Year the game feels stale and the only thing that ever jumps out at me as FRESH is the new Cheesey Gimmicks someone will find to turn thw game into a mockery (i.e. Rocket Catching).

I'm still rooting and hoping for a miracle though...Come on EA..You can do it!!!

You can turn the button off for fumble fighting.

Notice how I used the word MAYBE twice...which means I am speculating....which we are allowed to do, especially in a situation that doesn't make much logical sense.

Re: Cowboys vs. Eagles Video from IGN

WOOOOW ! i am speechless ! IT IS BEAUTIFUL ! THAT TD PASS FROM ROMO TO CRAYTON WAS BEAUTIFUL ! lOVED THE ANIMATION !

I would still like to see evidence of route based passing and some actual 'touch' on a pass before I start wooing.

Out of curiosity, how did the player read that Crayton was open for a pass? Other than the slight separation on when he ran the route, he looked covered to me. And the pass looked like a bullet pass, not a fade pass, so how was it read/thrown/completed?

How did he read that he was open? I'm not so sure I understand your inquiry. Though I personally think there was enough separation there, how open does a player have to be to constitute throwing a pass in his direction?

I don't think you'd throw a fade from 30 yards out. It looked like a pass with some touch on it in my opinion (though not exactly a lob).

In Madden, I have no idea, hence my inquiry. In APF2K8 you never would have attempted to make that throw (not enough separation) as the player would have just jumped up and knocked the ball down. The only way it could have been completed is with a lot of touch on the ball, such that it was too high for the DB to jump up and knock it down.

I don't think you'd throw a fade from 30 yards out.

You can throw a fade from 10 yards out. All depends on coverage and the route.

That's touch???

Another 2K8 reference huh? I guess this is sort of subjective to your style of play. I say that b/c in APF (which I do own), or 2K5, I would've taken that chance on 1-on-1 coverage. I'd even say that in 2K5 there's a great chance that ball would be brought down especially with a WR with good hands.

That play wasn't 10 yards out, that's what I was saying. It didn't exactly resemble a bullet to me. So while it didn't appear to be a lob, it wasn't exactly a quick strike neither.
