Madden NFL 10 Blog: Letting the "Wildcat" Loose

Good news on the sprinter animation!

I think the better question is though, why did Marion Barber have the sprinter animation assigned to him?

Can we speed that up? because it was already too slow last year in my oppinion

Yes there's a game speed slider.

Oddly enough, the vid with Brandon Jacobs looked wayyy better than the one with AD.

Graphics look good, animations look good

Just hope it's balanced and madden won't turn into wildcat '10.

Also, seem a bit like the backs get off the ball too quickly. The snap and drop back seem accurate, but the back seems to shoot off the ball as soon as the center flinches.

Too slow??? I guess everything is relative. Play APF2K8 for a couple of days, and then switch to Madden. It's like playing with 22 Speedy Gonzales's on the field!

In general, I think the slower game speed lets players better enjoy the gaming experience and what's happening on the field.

He's trying to re-touch every run cycle this week. He showed me the 'fat guy' run this morning and asked for some general feedback and direction. I'm hoping that once he's done with this first pass we'll do side-by-side videos and release them to you guys for more feedback.
