Re: Madden NFL 10: Updated Running Animation

I DIGRESS!!!

After looking at the thread from last year on Madden 10 wishlist ( http://www.operationsports.com/forum...st-thread.html ) I apologize to Ian and his crew because he gave them exactly what was important to everyone that posted on that thread. After reading through the first 2 pages of that thread and not seeing Running Animations it was clear why it was not a priority. The community at large did not agree that Running Animations were a must fix. Looking at the thread I also see that just about everything that the community asked for on that list Ian and his crew made happen!

GREAT JOB IAN!!

Hopefully Madden 11 will make Running Animations there #1 priority!

That's not good enough. I personally won't be held responsible for doing any devs job. If EA doesn't know what makes a good football game, that's their problem, and they won't get my $60.

Beyond the first 2 pages , running animations are mentioned plenty, BTW.

Are you serious?

There is a reason running animations have only come up recently... everything else has gotten that much better!

A 2-3 man tackling scenario would have been good enough if it meant getting some good running out the game.

I'm pretty sure that running is not just "now" getting the communities eyes. Infact....

and in then
http://www.operationsports.com/forum...post2038693822

that's just a few posts I've made about it. I know i'm not the only one.
You may disagree with me, but I stand by my "It's all about preference" comment. Feel free to pull out a few posts here or there, but I was on this board HEAVY around wishlist time for Madden 10. Running animations specifically were not mentioned as frequently as some of core aspects of the game such as line play and interactions.

^^This is all I'm saying. The overwhelming majority of this community (and others) was line play and DB/WR interactions.

Now guys, don't box me into a Pro-EA corner. I've been a 2K supporter and advocate since the Dreamcast days. When 2K's sports games are compared to EA's, 2K's almost always (if not all the time) animate better. I never disputed that and I won't until proven otherwise. My point is simply when it comes to running animations specifically, don't pretend the community listed this as priority #1-3 several months ago when that certainly wasn't the case.

Agree with that ...

And I haven't noticed much DB/WR jostling in any of the vids either.
Absolutely room for improvement. Admittedly, the details and nuances of OL/DL play aren't my strong suit. But I can't say that improvement hasn't been made here. I didn't own Madden 09 long so I can only draw a comparison with Madden 08. When comparing Madden 08's line play to what we'll be seeing in August, I think the difference is pretty apparent. Still like you say, it does require more tweaking. I just personally wouldn't say it's pretty bad in '10.
