Madden NFL 10 Trailer

[Glorious Arc]

I can understand people saying Hood turned on a dime.

I cant understand how they think that a 5 yard(at most) gap couldnt have been closed because Holmes had to look over his shoulder and then make a very awkward type of catch. I would have been upset if Holmes kept running at full speed while making that catch because it was thrown slightly behind where he ran to and its a hard catch to make while moving in stride.

BTW there is a clipping issue with that catch animation. Its very small but you can see Homles left arm as he reaches to catch the ball go inside his equipment.

Wasn't there a discussion of how off Dockett looked in 09? Looks like 09's player models to me.



Edit: I think I've figured out what makes the players look so out of proportion... The feet.

Was the Madden 09 trailer reaction this bad?

well....I mean... it seemed like it at the time.....it was going to revolutionize the way real QBs threw....

Hm are you implying that those two shots look similar? Because there's a lot that is very different between them.

I feel like we can agree the throw animations (disclaimer: in the trailer) don't look right, somehow. I've been thinking for a while about what it is specifically that is wrong with the throwing animations. It is my opinion that the biggest issue is the lower body and the way they bend their knees and sink so low while they throw. It's like they squat then rotate their knees. Very unnatural.





Man, it's difficult to find shots of a QB's knees while throwing.

Oops didn't get to this post. My B.
