05:59 PM - April 13, 2009 by Ian_Cummings

Check out the new Madden NFL 10 blog. This one features the importance of an early community day.

Quote:


	"On April 10, we flew in 8 of the most hardcore Madden fans for a marathon testing day to get an extremely early look at our Alpha build and provide feedback based on where the game is thus far. You may ask, �What is new about this? Haven�t you had community events in the past?� Yes, we have done these before, but there are some key differences."

I love that he thinks getting on the Madden Bus is a true accomplishment.

EA said what youll see in the game is what you see on Sundays right that the first question. and do you see qbs running to the side line after the snap? do you see kickers kicking the ball out of the endzone? now if you see those things in real life ill show you were the smurf village is because anyone who knows football and went to community day would ask and get answers on real sim play

Have you, personally, seen this stuff in Madden '10?

Not sure how much they can answer at this stage. They are all under an NDA.

If a blog has been posted, at this time, they can comment on that.

No he hasn't which further confirms he is just talking out of his a$$.

Yeah, I've seen Vick do this too, but not Tom Brady, Payton Manning, etc, well not until Madden.

# 408 coach_ruckus @ 04/14/09 12:12 PM

fade em all your right a few can do that not all 32 qb's and all the kickers can do that

What is 'rocket catch'?

# 410 Golden28 @ 04/14/09 12:37 PM

WOW

This thread has certainly 'blossomed' since I left it last night.

Feeling real uncomfortable for the community day guys. Totally unbelievable, uncalled for, and downright ridiculously unfounded things being said.

God bless the ignore feature

A ridiculous animation where a WR can jump extremely high to make a "possession" catch.

I'm waiting on this as well. He said Madden 10 kept his attention so, this is a good sign.

Damn, I live 10 mins from Tiburon..I wish I had known about this when it happened! I don't know if I can play for 16 hours, but I would love to get a few hours behind the wheel and see if the game can get me wanting to buy it again.

# 414 adembroski @ 04/14/09 12:50 PM

Here's what I don't get...

how exactly do you look at this...

... and the specific issues mentioned, and say we weren't asking "sim" questions?

# 415 CreatineKasey @ 04/14/09 12:51 PM

There were 150ish posts in this thread when I went to bed last night.

Is it really possible that in 12 hours 350ish posts happened in this single thread? My gosh!

People are getting very uptight very soon this year.. but you have to be excited. Things that absolutely obliterated the fun out of the game are getting addressed first and foremost!

I hope we get some more surprise blogs.... on tackling and defense!

because its all about drawing attention to one's self.

It really bugs me because it's my baby that's most predominantly displayed on there. Each of us had our own focuses, and the thing that I zeroed in on very early was the offensive line play. The tackle drop was straight back, it needs to open up. They were waiting for the DE to make a move rather than getting themselves to a good depth and positioning themselves between the drop spot and the DE. "Sim" is exactly what I was looking for.

I was animated on that ****. I was getting sucked into "Coach Dembroski" mode... I kept standing up like I was going to demonstrate technique, then I'd catch myself and sit down again, people started laughing at my dumb ***:P

Seriously, though, we're still sending stuff to Ian that we thought of later, and I promise you it's all sim.

And that was just a small portion of that document. We got some highly detailed feedback out there in that meeting. Hell, even the above is pretty detailed stuff that many gamers would look over.

Thats pretty funny right there

[quote=LBzrule;2039424363]In 09 I had the curl and "make it rain" down. Again, I'm not saying you will not be able to do it on the curl, because we only had 16 hours with the game. I'm not going to promise then two days after release people say, see they lied. I got it down. Like I said in the post though, I did get a stop catch animation that I was not too thrilled with and it looked like the WR was about to rocket. I do want to say though, I think the QB ratings (short accuracy) are going to play a roll in how things are able to be pulled off successfully. God forbid if you have Tavares Jackson and try doing it. The guy sucks in this game in terms of accuracy.[/quote]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.. Oh well no love for TJack..
