	"While we have a number of announcements and updates to come over the next several weeks leading up to next month's NFL Draft, I'm excited to debut the first screenshot from this year's game right here this week. The old adage says, "A picture is worth a thousand words", and that is certainly true in this fantastic shot. How many improvements can you pick out? The Madden dev team will call each one out in their blog later this week."

I think he was pointing out the wrong location. I wonder if that'll be adjustable...

I can do without this one... boring enough during a real game don't need that in a video game... somethings are better left out of the game

The handtowel looks a lot like an extra texture layer that just goes over the side of the pants.

As the above poster poitined out, Ben apparently wears his in the front over his crotch, which makes sense. I'm assuming the Madden one is on the side as it wouldn't look right as a texture in the front.

# 206 adembroski @ 03/23/09 04:37 PM

My honest opinion- Graphics aren't all that close to the top of my list of needs for Madden 10. Presentation is, but in my mind, that's more in the audio than the visuals.. crowd noise, announcing, things like that. I could care less about stat bugs and the like.

But- Ian, congratulations, You've laid the 06 "Artists Concept" Trailer to rest.

I dunno... that thing looks painted on to me... It would certainly be a bazillion times better if it actually moved independently of the player. I would go as far as saying that if it is painted on, then just leave it out.

So the powers at OS have consulted on this matter.

The BALL is to BIG Ian, please look into it for us

I agree and I still wouldn't complain. Maybe it is animated. But I wouldn't make the assumption based on what I've been told about animated accessories and hair. Apparently, they're really expensive to render and they consume a lot time to tweak and fix. That's not all of it, but I believe it's the gist of it. Not saying the towels are not animated, but I wouldn't flat out assume that they are.

I'll second that, sorry Guillotine.

I don't think they're going to have animated equipment this year, but hey, at least it's there!

Agreed looks painted on and if it is then it is better left not in at all.

Im going to go ahead and guess that you can choose where to place it in the editor.

Just like if we do end up getting hand warmers along with these, you will have the ability to put them in the front or in the back.

# 213 adembroski @ 03/23/09 04:41 PM

Assuming the hand towel isn't individually articulated and animated, I dunno, the upgrades are such that I would be satisfied with it for now. It can't be an easy thing to do, considering nobody's done it to this point.

Put it this way: If it's what they could do, considering all the improvements graphically, it'd be a very minor complaint at this point.

The giant ball, on the other hand...:P

# 214 PGaither84 @ 03/23/09 04:42 PM

So here is my list of what we see. Trying to go left ot right top to bottom as much as possible.

1.) Accuate arm bands/player equipment. Good Hand work also seen
2.) Names on jerseeys corrected.
3.) More examples of correct equipment. Ben's arm band.
4.) Team specific helmet design. #7 in correct place.
5.) Don't forget to bring a towel!
6.) Ref not only in game, but moving and reacting to the play.
7.) More examples of Correct equipment. One gloved Big ben.
8.) Another example of O-Line/D-Line interactions that will make or break this game.
9.) The Chain gang

Not circled is the Depth of field and lightning effects because, well you can't reall circle them.

# 215 SouthernBrick @ 03/23/09 04:43 PM

Can't wait to play this game

That is ACTUALLY the titans 3rd color, the first two colors would be bright blue and dark blue.

I honestly just can't wait to see yellow gloves on the packers or orange on the bears and dolphins gloves and red on the giants and that neon green on the seahawks gloves.

# 218 PGaither84 @ 03/23/09 04:47 PM

So the changes are, in no specific order:

1.) Accurate equipment - Including names, logos, numbers and equipment such as towels. Player specific too.

2.) Refs and chain gangs are back and the move about. Do they interact? do refs get hit with a pss or are they ghosts? Do players run into them?

3.) Interaction with the O-Line adn D-Line.

4.) Accurate Sidelines.

5.) Depth of Field

6.) Improved Lighting effects.

A nice touch indeed

Now, can you confirm or deny for us if the Towel is painted on or is it its own individual entity? We're thinking.. painted on

Also, do you guys agree that the football in this screen shot is too big?

I think you might be right Stevie.

By the placement of the chain gang marker, it looks like it may be 2nd/3rd down and very long. Or perhaps the other marker is hidden behind Ben?
