Madden NFL 10: Updated Running Animation

[bang911]

My thoughts as I watched:

Yeaaaaaa, niceeee, very nice.


That runner had a very human look to his running style. Impressive to see such an improvement so quickly!

In the first vid, the runner looks more natural, and dynamic. There's a sense of weight. The second vid, the runner looks more mechanical. I like the new animation.

Looks much better. Can't wait to see the final build.

The animation is better in the Madden 10 clip, but the player (a Jet - ugh) seems to be jogging more than sprinting. Can we get a view from the side? Looks better, though.

I think I like the players natural movements, that needs to remain. The hips, arms and shoulders move very naturally and dynamically making the runner look very human.

Now if Simon could only make those legs move a little faster, we'd be in for a hell of a treat. Like the guy said above, it looks like he's jogging rather than sprinting.

Yeah, I'd agree that in the new vid, the runner doesn't appear to be running at full speed (sprinting). Almost what you'd expect if you did not hold down the acceleration button. For a sprint, his legs definitely need to be moving faster as shown in the chad johnson video.

I love the new animation though.

Yep! The first video reminds me of Derrick Brooks running style. He always appeared to be lumbering down the field. I think faster guys should have a quicker leg turnover like the Chad Ocho Cinco video above. Great work Ian and team!
