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

Kellen Winslow looked a little to fat, he may be 250 but he is 6'5" so he should look a bit leaner like is in real life.

# 222 SouthernBrick @ 03/27/09 10:22 PM

Can we get merriman's light's out dance after a sack plz plz plz.

As a fan of the chargers this is greatly important to me to have the feeling of detail and realism to know that you can do it in the game after a sack in the back field.

I hate that in 09 you have to get lucky with a interception with merriman and then have to get a lucky sprint all the way down field and do the soulja boy.

I don't want to play with my team the whole game and watch people steal his move when i can't do it after a sack its not fair. do you know how frustrating it is to be losing and everytime they get a touchdown they bust out his move???

PLZ EA I would greatly appreciate it if we could get this in the game b/c you said "you see it on sunday you see it in the game"

On sunday's after merriman gets a sack he does his dance plz put this in the game...This is not a demand its just a request from a loyal fan.

I always wanted to see his lights out dance, but the game might crach from all that shacking though.lol Hey Kane can you do the Patriots as well? You they are sort of important to me.

# 224 Tyrant8RDFL @ 03/27/09 10:34 PM

Even though I hate it when he does it but Can i get Eli Mannings stupid expressions when and body language when he throws a pick.

Also when a Wr makes a huge catch , whether it was a clutch play or being able to hold on to a catch after a BIG hit, can we get the animation when they flex hard showing muscle and yelling hard with words like "WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S ALL YOU GOT, YOU AINT BEEP!!!, showing thier opponent up.

Thanks

Yeah I know what you mean and I have missed it so much since he's been out all last season...I don't know why they took his stats down so much though...

Anyways...yeah I would really appreciate it if you could do the chargers for me detail and presentation of how they portray my team is important to me kane but, if you don't want to then thats cool too...no pressure.

Can't think of all the problems off the top of my head these are a couple I remember having to fix the last couple of years..

Cedric Griffin: In the game he has the Jerry Rice facemask and no visor, also has no sleeves.
Real life Griff:

Revolution helmet with clear visor

Adrian Peterson: this one is minor but in the game he has the Deion Sanders facemask
Real life AD: shouldn't really be that hard for EA to find a pic of him

Tarvaris Jackson: in game you give him a revolution helmet and long sleeves. He has never worn a revo helmet, and he almost never wears sleeves

Hopefully another vike fan can name a few others, I don't have 09 anymore or I'd go back and check.. However as long as all the other teams are fixed that's good with me b/c I don't have any prob fixing the vike players before i start my chises..

i hope we will be able to adjust the colored portion of the socks....the ravens players being a good example of what I mean in the above pics.

# 231 oldskoolmaddenfanz27 @ 03/28/09 06:14 AM

even with all the help your being given specifically, we are going to be able to edit these things like we were able to for 10 years before the next gen phase right?

For Flacco those sleeves should only be for cold weather games.

Secondly, EA make sure you get Suggs' arm tats in there.

# 233 KANE699 @ 03/28/09 04:54 PM

I think im pretty sure we still aren't getting tattoos just thanks to the NFL though.

Here's the cowboys secondary. (easily subject to change since we only have 4 corners)

Alan Ball

Riddell helmet, robot facemask, regular sleeves, white thin elbow bands, white medium taped wrists, blue and white gloves, hand towel on the left, no thigh pads, colored cleats.

Orlando Scandrick (half the games he wore a clear visor half he didn't who knows here, the last two games he was in a visor so im adding it)

Schutt helmet, robot facemask, clear visor, regular sleeves, long white sleeves, medium taped wrists, white train track gloves, hand towel on the right, no thigh pads, colored cleats.

Mike Jenkins

Schutt helmet, rb robot facemask, clear visor, short dreads comming out the helmet, regular sleeves, medium white elbow bands, white and blue gloves, you can't see it here but white hand towel on the right side, no thigh pads, colored cleats.

Terence Newman

Schutt helmet, robot facemask, regular sleeves, long white sleeves, wrist braces on both arms, white train track gloves, hand towel on the right side, no thigh pads, colored cleats.

Tra Battle (may not make the team but whatever)

Riddell helmet, 2 bar facemask, clear visor, regular sleeves, medium elbow bands, solid blue gloves, hand towel on the right, no thigh pads, colored cleats.

Courtney Brown

Schutt helmet, rb robot facemask, regular sleeves, medium taped wrists, blue and white gloves, not seen here but hand towel on the left side, small thigh pads, no knee pads, colored cleats.

Keith Davis (I know his facemask isn't in the game and if it doesn't get put in I just used rb bull as a substitute)

Schutt helmet, that facemask, clear visor, tucked sleeves, pretty good height sized shoulder pads, long white sleeves, blue and white gloves, no thigh pads, colored cleats.

Ken Hamlin

Schutt helmet, robot facemask, clear visor, regular sleeves, large white wristbands, blue and white gloves, he also seems to start games with a hand towel on his left but never seems to finish games with it still there so I dunno here, no thigh pads, colored cleats.

Gerald Sensabaugh

Riddell helmet, 3 bar rb single facemask, tucked sleeves, long white sleeves(since cowboys dont wear black sleeves), blue and white gloves, no thigh pads, colored cleats.

Pat Watkins (he had a neck injury and after that he added a neck pad, changed his facemask and added a visor, I only have one real shot of it though)

Here is post injury shot.

Schutt helmet, 3 bar rb facemask, clear visor, neck pad. The rest of his equipment went unchanged.

Since I don't know which one he'll end up wearing this year he is what he wore pre injury.

Schutt helmet, robot rb facemask, regular sleeves, long white sleeves, black and white gloves, hand towel on the right, large thigh pads, colored cleats.

I'll aslo add L.P. Ladouceur just in case

Riddell helmet, 3 bar rb facemask, regular sleeves, white wristbands, large thigh pads, colored cleats.

Now Nick Folk and Mat McBriar are easy

Riddell helmets, kicker facemasks, regular sleeves (although Mcbriar wears loose sleeves, no thigh pads, kicker shoes for Folk, Mcbriar wears black cleats and also has a hand towel to the left.

# 234 KANE699 @ 03/28/09 06:11 PM

I have more chargers and other players in mind but will update later.

# 235 c dizzy m baby @ 03/28/09 07:53 PM

I'm basing this mostly off of JaMarcus Russell, Darren McFadden, Justin Fargas and Nnamdi Asomugha, but it seems that mustaches dont show up well enough, especially on light skinned players like these last 2.

Also me personally, I feel that Nnamdi needs his face redone. I'd even go as far as he is the best player in the game that doesn't look like his counter part.

# 236 KANE699 @ 03/28/09 10:22 PM

Just a quick other four that bother me.

Domique Rodgers-Cromartie

Riddell helmet, robot facemask, clear visor, tucked sleeves, standard white gloves, no thigh pads, small black ankle tape, black cleats.

Roderick Hood

Riddell helmet, robot facemask, clear visor, tucked sleeves, white half sleeves, solid black gloves, hand towel to the left, no thigh pads, small black ankle tape, white cleats.

Ahmad Bradshaw

Revo helmet, facemask isnt in the game but I hope it is, tucked sleeves, main black gloves, hand towel to the left side, large thigh pads, colored cleats.

Desean Jackson

Schutt helmet, robot facemask clear visor (i know he didn't wear it in the playoffs but the 15 games during the season he wore it outweight it I think), regular sleeves, medium black elbow bands, white and black gloves, hand towel on the left, no thigh pads, black and white cleats.

Buffalo Bills:
Player Issues

Kawika Mitchell: It bothers me that he doesnt have his long curly hair because thats what most people recognize kawika for.

Linebackers, such as Paul Posluszny

also. another thing that bothers me is the LB's seem to have long narrow pads, especially paul posluszny. his shoulder pads are so long and narrow is it looks like he could stab somebody with them like a knife. if its possible to give more shape like so would be awesome.

Marshawn Lynch..

..for the most part, looks really good, except, i dont like in madden how the dreads are tied up, and arent all over the place like beast mode's. another thing is i miss the days where you could give the players a mouthpiece or not, marshawn wears one in games, as many NFL players do.

Trent Edwards

Two things with trent...

along with other players in the league, trent does not wear wristbands on his wrist, or on his elbow, but simply on his forearms, as seen in the following picture. if that option was available that would be such a benefit for many games that are irked like me about this option..

The other thing i would like to add is trent with other athletes, in cooler weather games, will wear long sleeves, but cut the bottom part off, to make the long sleeves seem like 3/4 sleeves such as baseball players wear...

# 238 SouthernBrick @ 03/29/09 12:18 AM

How about some throwback charger helmets...I love these helmets

# 239 c dizzy m baby @ 03/29/09 12:57 AM

Holding, #28, 10 yard penalty repeat 2nd down.

# 240 c dizzy m baby @ 03/29/09 12:59 AM

Kane it is no biggie, but for every player you have shown you have the towel listed on the wrong side.
