Madden NFL 10 Blog: Revamping How Injuries Work

[Eman5805]

I haven't bought a Madden game since 2007, and it disappointed me so bad. None of the Maddens after that looked anywhere near as good as this does. I'm a lil stoked right now...

I see I'm not the only person interested in this. Hope we get an answer.

I will in fact have an increased chance of rehurting my knee. Even if I do the proper rehab and "fully" recover my knee will never be the same. I hope there is a health system and yall are just waiting to release it at a later time. I just figured now would have been a great time to release it with the injury system because of how closely they relate to each other.

I was a little dissapointed they didn't mention a health system like HC, but like you said, hopefully they mention it at a later time.

I haven't played HC 09, but you guys seem very enamored with this health system...I think I get the gist of it from other posts in other threads...sounds like an interesting system.

I just hope to hear SOMETHING about franchise...I feel like Josh abandoned us...

Is it just me or do the Packers look really washed out? I thought the same thing about 09. It's like their yellow/gold sections all have a touch of blue or green on them.

I don't know... I guess I just don't like how the lighting effects some things in Madden. 07 really nailed that perfectly, however.

[AC IS ART]

I don't like the lighting/color tone of the game either. Several teams just don't look right to me. Vikings purple looks too washed out, Eagles green doesn't look right, and none of the white uniforms in this game look white enough. Also none of the stadiums (minus the Colts) grass looks green enough.

While this is alittle too much contrast, 1:00 games need to look more like this in 10'. The field actually looks like grass, there is more discrepancy between sunlight and shadows, and the white unis are more pronounced.

Just trying to lighten the mood. People have gotten waaay too serious and critical. IMO this game will rock. I'm really stoked. Now where was I? Oh yeah, the injury will come back "Abdominal strain, 2 quarters." It was a really big burrito....

You always talk about how awesome madden is, year after year, Last yearr you talked up how awesome madden was. I don't think it's possible for you ever to feel any different. What would it take you to feel madden isn't up to par?
