Madden NFL 10 Blog: The Importance of an Early Community Day (New Screenshot Included

[PGaither84]

I am uploading a video right now on Youtube.

I take Chad Pennington, J. Russell, and Tom Brady and run a simi-scientific test.

Each time I run the TE Option In from the Shotgun Normal formation. The ball is on the 50 and I run 4 different passes.

1.) Normal run of the play to the deep man
2.) Not sprinting, but running backwards to "avoid pressure" and chuck it down field
3.) Sprinting and chucking it.
4.) Sprinting and doing the "super spin" chuck like the Greenbay vid found here.

Some of the results surprised me, some did not.

I do this all in real time with not edits and it takes about 7min in total. All on All-Pro.

EDIT: after a serise of unfortunate events youtube lost my video and i lost it on my computer. may try again another night. oh well. it was good. showed verry litle differeces.

Brady is my "control" because he has high power and accuracy.

Pennington has among the lowest power but high accuracy

Russell has high power but low accuracy.

For fun I also used S. Hill of the 49ers who has moderate power and accuracy.

I wasn't going for completions but rather a general scale of how they all perfromed compared to each other.

On second look sorry that is Deion Branch, and the good thing is you can also tell by his equipment. Really looks like they got it right.

Have the Seahawks helmets been fixed? it still looks like the Hawk emblem on the helmet still tapers when it isn't supposed to.

The bump on the helmet isn't really a bump. If you go to practice mode and zoom in on the helmet they have it right, it just looks funny with the lighting from far away for some reason that I dont know.

Why wasnt the first question hey Ian why dont you go outside and run back 35 yards and chuck the ball 70 the other way. Or the question: how come in nfl fever people can make their own playbooks, why dont we see the same ole plays? see they picked a bunch of guys who dont really know football KANE699 said " I still enjoy 09 and think it's as fun a sports game" are you kidding me??? This goes to show you that EA picked some guys who didnt know x's and o when it comes to football "a fun sports game" Football should be a fun game it should be a sim game. So the qb cheat is a fun thing the wr cheat is a fun thing guys we need to ask these guys harder questions Ea wont bring in guys who know real football so for the guys who dont know much please ask better questions your telling me the the common issues are run blocking (what about the qb running back a million miles back or running right to the sideline??) i give you guys some props on the line play but come on. Ive gotta do a dear madden on this one lolol

First off to me 09 was a fun game in some aspects, yea it had some great flaws but it was still fun to some degree.

The icons dissapear first off if you go too far back and trust me when I say you won't be throwing accuracte passes off your back foot this year.

I never once cheated in a game, that was not fun to me. I never rolled back 20 yards to comeplete a pass, I never rolled out unless pressure dictated it. Ask the guys I played at community day, im a very sim player.

Here is just an idea on how I play.

Honestly man that was the one day you SHOULD have tried to pull out all the cheese in the book. You should have tried every piece of cheese known to man. That way the devs can see what needed to be fixed if anything needed to be fixed.

Plenty of other guys were doing this, its not in my nature so its hard for me to do.

LBzrule did a great job at doing what you said.


I think it's really important to find all the money plays and get them out or fix how the defense reacts (if its unrealistic) and now is the time to do this rather than after the game launches and then add on a patch. I think everyone there did this except me.
