Madden 09: celebration videos (IGN)

[BezO]

LOL. EA has problems animating, period. Celebrations & gameplay. This year's game is looking much better than last year's, but they have a lot of work on their hands.

Agreed. They wasted almosted every second they spent on this. I hope that's not what ships.

yeah, the leap and the dunk look pretty messed up. I agree, I would much rather have them focus on something else in the game rather then celebrations and "rings" for that matter.

They do look real arcadey, I wish they would tone it down. I know its a game, but man, even the NFL thinks too much celebrating is a "distraction".

Huddle, Crowd the Scorer, Hand the Ball to the ref, Play the Crowd, Spike the Ball, Throw the Ball at the Logo on the Wall, The Larry Johnson Diamond, The LT Lift.

Keep it real, and keep it suttle.

lmao...i think celebrations should be cutscenes..that way it the lambeau leap could be better because it would involve the crowd..there could also be some celebrations that involve other players as well

It was a step the the direction of more presentation. A weak step. But it was a step.

The leap is certainly embarrasing but on a positive note, there's more emotion in the commentary in those clips and the camera flashes seemed to increase when the big passes were thrown.......... well, I'm a glass is half full kind of guy.
