Yes, the normal game speed is still slower than last year.

Yes IAN, where did this go??? hmmmm..

Now these are more like true running animations! These look really good and bring out the realism in a game. Those animations almost look better then 2k's. These type of animations make the game have a soul, like they have life.. So why aren't these in MAdden 10? Didn't you guys say you where working on these running animations for the game?? IMO, if Madden 10 doesn't have this type of gameplay & running animations, it sorta in a way failed. Gameplay is key, without it everything else is just, fluff.. Fix the CORE, then add the Fluff..

Wow how could they not add these animations to Madden 10

Those videos are a lot better than what's been seen. If the running is like those vids we'll be alright.

Like I said on another thread, shenanigans dude. The pursuers legs are churning faster than the ball carriers run animation. Even when the ball is intercepted, that particular run animation is faster. You turn up this so called speed option.. the offensive ball carrier animation will still be slower than the pursuer animation. Sorry, I don't buy the "Duhh!!.. bduuurr!" excuse.

They are in the game. Route running animations and the general running animations are different. If you don't believe me, look at the Panthers vs. Raiders video Ian out up on Youtube, and look at the crossing routes and the in and out routes. They look almost identical to the Youtube videos you posted.

OK, why don't they use something like the route running animations for the general running. The route running looks more realistic, then the general running does, they look like they are jogging and it looks robotic.

Case in point = run animations and commentary...neither have changed much from 09 but now they are a "game killer" because the quality around the rest of the game has risen up and the time wasn't spent on either to bring them up to that next level of polish as well.

Sounds like he isn't happy with the run anims, but we'll be waiting till M11 or 12...until then, you'll have to be content with your favorite speed merchant sauntering towards the endzone,with all the conviction of a hippy at the end of Woodstock..
