Madden NFL 10: Tuning Individual Characters

01:25 PM - February 7, 2009 by Michael_Young_EA

This week we are starting to go through the rosters and tune each individual player's body to match their real life counter part.

I know as a fan when one of your favorite players is wrong it can take you out of the experience.

So the question to you is: Which players need the most work? Please give specifics. On the flip side are there any players you wouldn't touch?

Thanks as always,

Mike Y

This is based off of the Final Roster update for Madden 09... Everything will be referred to as it is in Madden. I will only be posting things that NEED to be changed, if it is already correct than I won't mention it.

In 2010 will the Raider's team color be black for home and white for away? Most of the Raider players wear their equipment that way. TC will refer to this. With the addition of secondary colors that is what Silver should be. So when editing a player I hope to be able to Choose Black, White, TC (Black for Home Games, White for Away) or Silver (Secondary TC).

**Underlined Players are IMO the ones that need to be addressed the most.**

Oakland Raiders Equipment Errors

QB JaMarcus Russell: Helmet Type: Standard, Face Mask: 3 Bar RB, Arm Sleeves: Full Sleeve TC (for Cold/Rainy games only), Right Elbow: Shooter's Sleeve (hopefully this will be added, Im referring to the same type of sleeve Allen Iverson wears in the NBA, except his is shorter and more just on the elbow. If this isn't added a TC rubber pad may work..) Left and Right Wrists: Wristband TC.
Other notes: Captain Patch and Hand Towel. He also wears Jordan's (cleats) but I dont expect them to be in the game

RB Justin Fargas: Helmet Type:Standard, Left and Right Elbows: Med. Band TC.

RB Darren McFadden: Helmet Type: Standard, Face Mask: 3 Bar RB, Thigh Pads: Large, Knee Pads: Small. Other Notes: I saw someone pointed out that he has "Sleeves: Sleeveless" and I wouldn't go that far, his are somewhere in the middle, longer than Sleeveless and shorter than Standard. A lot of the players on this team are that way.

RB Michael Bush: Looks good.

FB Oren O'neil: Looks good, but hopefully Dreadlocks and the Issue where the Revolution face masks are too far from the player's face will be fixed.

FB Luke Lawton: Helmet Type: Standard 2, Face Mask: 3 Bar RB, Left Elbow: Thin Band TC, Right Elbow: Padding Black. Other Notes: Hand Towel.

WR Javon Walker: Left and Right Hand: Solid Black. (Just Realized I left off gloves on everyone above Javon. I'll prolly wait until we hear more about accessories before I go back and try to match gloves that may not even be in the game)

WR Johnnie Lee Higgins: Helmet Type: Standard 2, Face Mask: 2 Bar. Other Notes: Remove Thin White Bands from his elbows.

WR Chaz Schilens: Helmet Type: Standard, Face Mask: 2 Bar. Other Notes: Not consistent with what he wears, most recently Eye Black and Hand Towel.

WR Arman Shields: Helmet Type: Standard, Face Mask: 2 Bar Single. Other Notes: His number is Currently #14.

TE Zach Miller: Left and Right Elbow: Med. Band Black. Other Notes: Remove: Arm Sleeves: Full Sleeve White, and Left and Right Wrist: Taped Wrists Normal.

TE Tony Stewart: Face Mask: 3 Bar RB.

Im stopping here, If Mr. Young wants me to continue I'll post the rest tomorrow.

Players that were Skipped (I may come back to some of these Later):
Andrew Walter
Louis Rankin
Justin Griffith (no longer with the Team)
Ron Curry (no longer with the Team)
Ashley Lelie (Status with the Team's future is uncertain)
Drew Carter (Status with the Team's future is uncertain)
Todd Watkins
DJ Hall (Status with the Team's future is uncertain)
Darrell Strong (not in the game to my knowledge)

Post full body pictures with your fixes for proof just so they can get an idea of players builds as well.

# 203 c dizzy m baby @ 03/27/09 06:00 AM

I'll go back and Edit Pics in if needed, I was just focusing on Equipment in that post, and planned to address body type errors in another post.

So M.Y. if adding the Pictures in helps you let me know, and I'll get on that tomorrow.

I noticed your remark on the sleeveless thing on Mcfadden, I pointed this out in my first post, it seems all the runningbacks and some recievers have not quite the sleeveless option in the game but more so a tapered sleeve. The sleeveless option in the game is best suited for offensive and deffensive linemen.

# 205 c dizzy m baby @ 03/27/09 06:26 AM

I saw this thread after I PM'ed you but I'll add it here too.

My first guy to address is Robert Gallery. He is a great athlete, and in the game he is not represented well in my opinion, he is much too fat and not slim enough. His legs also seem much too fat in Madden.

Also Im not sure if this is your department, but please note how close the Revolution facemask is to his face in the first picture, while in the game it comes out too much and looks like a bubble around his head. If you could somehow fix that I'd greatly appreciate it.

The other guy that may need a look is Tommy Kelly. When I play with him he looks way too big, but then when I sat down and looked at the pictures of this past season he was a bit bigger. Maybe it was either him moving to DT or the fact that he started the season out of shape from his knee injury, but he was definitely bigger in 2008. I anticipate him being more similar to his previous form with a full offseason conditioning program. Here are some pictures, and I'll let you decide and do what you do best. In the game right now he looks like the first picture.

and

2008

and

2007

Thanks a lot Mr. Young

# 207 raphael @ 03/27/09 06:44 AM

Seems to me like the players look too muscular in general, especially the linemen, with a few exceptions, but I don't think that you can see the definition of arm muscles on every tackle or guard IRL like you do in Madden. (Cherilus Gosder for example)

btw tats would be awesome ( i know it can't happen,it's just such a big part of some players personas and without their tats they#re not complete )

# 208 83evans @ 03/27/09 02:53 PM

Edwards has a mustash going around to chin. Mitchell is the color of polamalu and has long hair and tatoos with a full gotee. Like Laboy. Also has a visor. Lynch has a visor and is short and big with huge thighs. Owens should look bigger. Stroud looks tooooo fat. McKelvin has a hunched look.

Regarding Tommy Kelly, I also think his arms should be much larger with more definition and his shoulder pads shouldn't exceed his shoulders horizontally.

Also I agree that many of the lineman are way too ripped in the game, the picture of Gallery is a good example.

# 210 Dog @ 03/27/09 03:56 PM

i dont have any pictures.. but brodereick bunkley on the eagles is way too fat in the game. in real life he is just built with little fat and most muscle. it doesnt look like him at all in madden

You really need to post pictures man.

# 212 DOLFANMIKE @ 03/27/09 05:11 PM

Dolphins LT Jake Long is huge...

6'8 310

# 213 KANE699 @ 03/27/09 05:40 PM

Here is a good representation of how off J Stewart is for the panthers.

Riddell helmet, robot rb facemask, clear visor, tucked sleeves, medium white elbow bands, colored team gloves, large thigh pads small knee pads, colored cleats.

His build needs to be a bit stockier as well.

# 214 KANE699 @ 03/27/09 09:13 PM

Time for that Cowboys defense. Now I know we cant put hand towels in the middle but I think we are going to be able to choose left or right side so I will be adding that in this series. Also in my postings, If I mention large thigh pads without a mention to knee pads it means the knee pads are the same size.

Marcus Spears

Schutt helmet, full cage 2 facemask, tucked sleeves, medium taped wrists, blue and white gloves, hand towel on the right, small thigh pads, no knee pads, colored cleats.

Igor Olshansky

Riddell helmet, full cage facemask, tucked sleeves, wrist braces on both wrists, solid white gloves, large thigh pads, short tapped ankles, white cleats.

Stephen Bowen

Riddell helmet, full cage facemask, very large shoulder pads, tucked sleeves, blue and black gloves, large thigh pads, white cleats.

Jason Hatcher

Schutt helmet, full cage facemask, tucked sleeves, tape overlapping the gloves on wrists (can't remember in game name), blue and black gloves, no thigh pads, white cleats.

Jay Ratliff

Schutt helmet, full cage 2 facemask, tucked sleeves, tape overlapping the gloves, black standard gloves, large thigh pads, short ankle tape, colored cleats.

Also take a look at the build here, he is way off in madden.

I'm not sure where we will be with the backup DT, but Junior Siavii wears a revo helmet full cage 2 with medium taped wrists, black and white gloves, large thigh pads, and colored cleats.

Keith Brooking

Now he wears the new style schutt helmet, I dunno if this will be in but we'll see, full cage 2 facemask, tucked sleeves, medium taped wrists, standard black gloves (may change for the cowboys to blue or white), small thigh pads, colored cleats.

Here is a link to what the new style schutt helmet looks like.

http://www.schuttsports.com/aspx/Spo...og.aspx?id=792

Barbie Carpenter

Riddell helmet, full cage 2 facemask, clear visor, tucked sleeves, long blonde hair, white half sleeves, thin white elbow bands, blue and white gloves, large thigh pads, colored cleats.

Greg Ellis

Revo helmet, robot facemask, tucked sleeves, wrists wraped onto hands, taped fingers, no thigh pads, only HIS LEFT ANKLE short taped in white, colored cleats.

Bradie James

Riddell helmet, full cage 2 facemask (that is unless you guys added in this facemask without the extra bar at the top, he and a couple other players wear this facemask) tucked sleeves, blue elbow pad on left arm only, medium taped left wrist, heavy taped right wrist, white and black gloves, small thigh pads, small white taped ankles, colored cleats.

Carlos Polk

Revo helmet, this facemask isn't in yet but its in ncaa, tucked sleeves, white thin elbow bands, blue and black gloves, no thigh pads, colored cleats.

Anthony Spencer

Revo helmet, robot facemask, tucked sleeves, white thin elbow bands, white train track gloves, large thigh pads, colored cleats.

Demarcus Ware

Schutt helmet, full cage facemask, large shoulder pads, tucked sleeves, large white wristbands, white train track gloves or whatever is closest to these, hand towel to the left, large thigh pads, short white taped ankles, colored cleats.

Im leaving out Justin Rogers and Matt Stewart just cause im not sure if they will make the team.

# 218 ch46647 @ 03/27/09 09:32 PM

Hey Kane if you find some free time could you do a couple Ravens players? In particular Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs, Ed Reed and Joe Flacco. These pics are awesome by the way. Keep up the good work!
