Madden NFL 10 Blog: A Sneak Peek at the Wildcat w/ Screenshots

Maybe you should all take it as a sign that EA is taking a more critical look at their work before they start selling it for $65 a pop after tax.

The P.S. in the blog is a sign that you have had a positive effect on the Devs.

It's baffling how people can't grasp simple concepts. They get their panties all in bunch over minor issues that can and WILL be addressed. I can't believe we are still discussing this logo issue, even after Ian clearly stated that it WILL be fixed. Like someone said a long time ago, people will complain no matter what.

Looks really good to me. Still have a slight gripe about the ball being too big, but apparently really nothing can be done about that now.

Ian didn't mention the logo issue. There's no need to be so defensive.

Some people will complain no matter what? An incorrect logo is worth mentioning. I'll leave the belt colors to KANE699 (lol).

You have no clue how happy I would've been if they'd just nailed those screen shots from the beginning. But when Ian says in a PS that they're aware of the size issue, it makes me think they didn't even notice how jacked up the logo actually was.

If that's supposed to be the throwback logo, it's not even that bad. The 70-73 logo took up a lot of space on the helmets, with the downsizing and centering not happening until 74.

Because strictly speaking the Raiders don't run the Wildcat. They run the occassional direct snap, which does not the Wildcat make.

Any of these would create a blurrier foreground in the screenshot. My guess is the photographer had a lower f-stop. Maybe f4.0 - f5.6 than our shot which was at f2.8.

Thanks for the response and explanation. I was thinking of the DOF as more universal and wasn't thinking of the different settings. Makes more sense now and I appreciate the insight. Keep up the great work.

I tried to do a long fake with Ronnie Brown where I was trying get the LB to bite on a pass over the middle so I could get him off balance and at least get some easy yards on the edge since the d-line was pretty much beat down here. That failed, so I went outside the pocket thinking they were sleeping... instead, I got assassinated, lol. It was a brutal hit. It was also a new animation on that hit. It's hard to describe, but it was appropriate.

Oh ok, makes sense.
