Madden NFL 10 Blog: A Deeper Look Into Pass Blocking

[steelers1216]

i just have a suggestion for the running animations for this upcoming madden

EA, take a look at the turn rate that the players turn there legs wen they run on the ps2 versions of madden, you guys did a good job with that in the old-gen maddens, bring it back and make it even better, we all know u can
also, make the upper lean over the legs, just watch some highlights of players running in-game (real life), just mimic that, u can do it, i have faith in u guys

+ one-on-one blocking looked nice. Will be interesting to see how players interact overall on the fly
+ Receiver slipped running a pattern
+/- Game speed a tad slow? Hits/contact still seems... soft
- Sometimes players still look like they're jogging a lot of the time
- Still seem to be a lack of appropriate transitional anims to depict directional changes (quick look into the secondary)
+ Looks better than '09
- QB movement still weird

PERFECT VIDEO FOR ANIMATION IDEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST PAY ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS, AND IN YOUR MIND THINK ABOUT WHAT MADDEN LOOKS LIKE, THEN SEE HOW DIFFERENT IN IS IN REAL LIFE

Or . .. you could quit being an e-tough guy jerk and point it out

one more thing that i have always hated from the next-gen maddens, its a small thing, but it does bother me

the size of the ball, just make it SLIGHTLY smaller, wen i look at the screen shots of the qb's in the throwing motion, wen the ball is by their head, the ball looks the same size or bigger than there head....with their helmets on!!!!!!!!
please fix it, make the ball a little more narrower

Finally EA addresses this problem. Pass blocking is something that should have been looked at a while back.

Is it me or does Flaccos release look weird?
