Madden NFL 10 Blog: Creating 'Sim-Style' Gameplay

[greenegt]

Just wow. Talk about going in the right direction. Seeing all of these blogs makes it hard for me to pop Madden 09 back in.

I'm so excited about Madden 10, I think I just wet my pants.

I thought it looked a lot like APF's myself.

I wonder what the pump fakes will look like.

I fail to see how adding sim-gameplay additions would lead to the show being canceled and/or the decline of thug gamers. Are you saying thug gamers ONLY cheeze? Thug games wouldn't be able to play a more sim-style game ? I'm far from a "thug gangster" myself, but that sounds a bit ignorant.

While this is a great step towards fixing the "Speed Curve", the game speed in Madden will not be realistic and conducive to sim play until there are properly weighted Acceleration and Deceleration based on ratings and momentum.

It's hard to look at those charts based solely on the SPD rating and not assume that the ACC rating will yet again play little to no impact in player movement from 0-10 yards.

I sincerely hope you guys are taking acceleration of every player as seriously as you did for the WR/DB interaction. Acceleration/Deceleration combined with the changes you made to the speed to ratings curve will change the gameplay in Madden drastically towards simulation and away from arcade.

Great work overall (as usual this year), but I hope you guys aren't taking the quick shortcut for speed and player movement.
