Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

[KRS-One]

Above all else, and this has probably already been said somewhere in this thread, the problem is that there simply isn't enough variety amongst players in terms of height, weight, and proportions. Lineman are too small, skill-position players are too big. Wide receivers, running backs, QB's, and DB's all have the same body type in the game, whereas in real life receivers tend to be thinner in the middle and more lanky, running backs tend to be have much more built limbs, QB's are typically more top-heavy, and DB's are more balanced with slightly bigger torso's and very long legs, in general.

My addition/suggestion I guess is Hair. I tried to go through each post and see if anyone brought it up, and didn't see much, if any. So I'll talk about it.

Dreadlocks are usually in a few different styles. While most players let em loose:


In the game they tend to just stay in a ponytail form. Even just guys with long hair, its usually just loose. So I think in ADDITION to have long hair in a ponytail, we should be able to have it just hang. I also think Polamalu deserves his very own hair. Don't ya think?


Also, will we be seeing the most accessory filled Madden to date? Updated cleats(Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Under Armour all in low/mid/high variations), gloves, sleeves in certain lengths, team colored cleats, Mouth pieces, hand warmers, towels, different sock lengths, eye black(different forms worn thick, think, and crazy John Randle styled stuff), Improved visors(NCAA has MUCH better visors than Madden) Updated helmet styles & Facemasks, Jersey sleeves worn loose, tucked in, practically non existent lol, etc...

I really hope so. These things might not matter to a lot of people, but I guarantee a good percent of the Hardcore players would gladly welcome these things.

i would make some of the athletes a little skinnier, like

desean jackson

reggie bush

steve breaston

ted ginn jr

dennis dixon

pat white

guys like that.. the taller lanky faster guys........ i think they look too big in this game.......

like jeremy maclin looked like in ncaa 09.... he looked good and realistic....

Also Laurence Maroney has dreadlocks but in the game he deosn't have any:

[wsu_gb23]

I would make sure most players look more athletic...especially wide receivers, tight-ends, and quarterbacks...desean jackson should look "fast", steve smith (panthers) should look little, stocky and quick....

How did we go from playing skills to accessories and dreadlocks???

EDIT: Forget it, i went to page 11 and found out how we strayed from the thread title.

Tall and Lean players: Randy Moss,Brandon Marshall

Freaks of Nature: Larry Fitzgerald,Vernon Davis,Patrick Willis,T.O.,Boldin

Fb's need to be slightly overweight compared to the RB's

Bring in more muscle definition

Maurice Jones-Drew.

He looks like Darren Sproles in the game when in reality he is stocky and bulky as hell. He's just short.
