Will other positions other than qb be able to have hand towels?

Cummings,

If making the ball smaller is going to cause that much of an issue, to hell with it. I think the ball was considerably smaller in 09 than it was in 08, so if there's more improvement in 10, it shouldn't be too bad.

Impressive! Certainly shows that you guys are not taking the easy way out on even the smallest things. Great to see and thanks for the clarification!

I agree the ball is still slightly big but we actually even reduced it in size almost 10% this year. Here it is in Madden NFL 09: If we make it too much smaller it means we'll have to re-do nearly all of our ball-carrying animations (catches, run cycles, etc) because the ball will no longer be placed correctly. That is obviously a tough sell - to spend hundreds of hours tweaking animation data just to decrease the ball size by 3%. I just wish it had been right in the first place! Argh! Look at the size of it in Madden 06! I'll see what we can do to shrink it just a tad bit more though.

Either way, certainly not a deal breaker by any stretch.... only noticeable in still shots for the most part.

Fair enough, I can understand that angle of it. Just let me skip it if I want to and we're good. Actually, one very infuriating part of 2k8 was that it wouldn't let me skip some of the cut scenes, which irritated me to no end.

Are people really complaining about the fingers on the laces? The arm of Roethlesberger being to skinny? Would you rather have the Alex Smith look, see picture of him in the Niners in this thread, all steroid like? Newsflash people not all NFL players have body builder bodies.

Listen Im all for constructive criticism but if all we have to complain about in Madden , as football fans and videogames fans, are the a few skinny arms, and the QB is not holding on the laces, and the FOOTBALL looks big, I think we are in for a treat.

Lets look at the big picture here fellas.

I'd say thats pretty safe to assume that it wouldn't be available on just one player on the field.

But then again due to the memory it might be limited so that that one or two players on the field can wear one.
