Madden NFL 10 Screenshot (Peter Moore Blog)

[FadeEmAll]

You all can go ahead and label me a ***** but I think we are putting way too much emphasis on a screen shot. I could've seen a screen shot from the last 4 Madden's that would have impressed me yet, the game didn't come out great. All this screen shot proves is that the graphics may be improved a little bit, refs and chain gangs are present, and the QB has a towel on his waist. While all these things may be new and cool, one can not automatically assume the game is going to be great. So I'll give props where props are due and say Ian and team have managed to provide proof of some basic upgrades to the game, but I'll get truly excited when actual gameplay footage and verification of options are provided not screenshots specifially design to tittilate...as you should

I too noticed that. I mean in the EA Pic his hands don't even reach the seams! So there's definitely a scale issue there with the ball.

James Harrison maybe.

Digging the pic but I've seen some mention cleat upgrades and IMO they look similar to last years. Basic white and basic black. Same for gloves, hope they add a lot more variety with these things.

I would also like to see colored cleats like the Big Ben pic up above, some players wear the flashy cleats like Reggie Bush, Ben and etc.

I don't think anyone here is saying that the game is great simply because of a screen shot. We're just pointing out the new features that we've spotted from this screenshot, nothing more and nothing less. If someone wants to get excited about Madden 10 from this screen shot then I don't see a problem.

Too small an area to judge accurately how much blocking has been improved. It looks like a pocket's forming, but we see only 2 linemen and they're very close to the QB. 3. We've seen these animations by offensive linemen with '09... but they were basically in an engage-disengage system with animations to make it look kinda like blocking. My personal "list of 6" 1. Superbowl Sidelines 2. Superbowl patches 3. Hand towels 4. Refs and chain gang 5. Enhanced graphics 6. Coaches wandering sidelines Chin strap? Were there chin straps like that in '09? It looks like the slack after the snap is actually hanging off the helmet.

I'm with you 100% on this one Bro
