Madden NFL 10: Updated Running Animation

[Ian_Cummings]

We're having some export problems today - the ball keeps showing up rotated 90 degrees in the guys hands. In the meantime, I can show one run style that was slightly adjusted by Simon...this one is still in progress but I figured people would like to see it and give feedback.

Thoughts?

Also to compare, I uploaded the sprinter style (that no one seems to like)...this is the 09 version so hopefully I'll have a comparison video of the new one soon once we sort out Simon's export problems.

It looks better, but its almost like the ball carrier is laboring down the field. I think the legs need to be churning faster.

the new running animation looks better. It adds the look of weight to the player.

Yeah it looks like he has a limp or maybe some major back pain.

I don't really have a problem with the 09 version if he is breaking away for a TD. I like the revised running animation, but I think it'd look goofy out in the open. It looks as if he is laboring while trying to break away but still has some potential tacklers with in range.

Would it be possible to have the new animation be utilized when in traffic so that it looks like he is running, but bracing for hits and looking for tacklers and then when he gets far enough away where it's just a spring to the end zone he goes back to the 09 style?

Hey Ian, I just wanted to bring your attention to this thread here. I see that you fixed the RB pre-snap stance so some of us were wondering if you could fix the DL and WR stances as well possibly

Also thanks for the vids. Could we see the new one from the side possibly or from behind? Thanks for everything.

I mean look how fast Chad Johnson's feet are moving in the first part of this vid:

I love it already! Sure it can be tweaked a little more, like the guy above said, it looks like the runner is struggling down the field. But overall, compared to the "sprinter style" vid, it's light years ahead. Give our thanks to Simon please.
