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."

Really shocked you guys got the flack jackets in, especially so fast, I got the impression they wouldn't get in.

Thanks for giving me the screen I needed Ian, now I can get back to work

Also to the one bitc*ing about the wrong chinstrap and the seahawks logo being on the handwarmer.

Come on, really? No new chinstraps here is pretty obvious, I don't even know if they can add any new chinstraps period to be honest.

The handwarmers on each team should have the logo, thats my personal opinion because some players have them with the logo some without, I could care less here, having the logo on seems to make much more sense here.

I'd love to see Gene Upshaw-like taping.

And cant wait for the actual gameplay videos.

# 44 afro_dogg20 @ 04/13/09 06:34 PM

nice blog, that screenshot looks awesome.

# 45 KANE699 @ 04/13/09 06:36 PM

Here's to hoping all the correct quaterbacks get the flack jackets they wear.

This was the main thing missing on Big Ben when people said he still didn't look like himself.

You guys should be happy to know he will be 100% correct this year.

Nice!

# 47 CreatineKasey @ 04/13/09 06:37 PM

Good blog.

Good job EA.

Good Screenshot.

The event looked like a pretty fun time. I can't believe those guys played that long... 4 AM?! I mean I like video games too but I'm gassed after 3 hours straight... need to eat every 3 hours

Im pretty sure thats a team colored wristband.

# 49 JB0B0 @ 04/13/09 06:38 PM

yeah i think what makes big ben look big is the flack jacket. same with jay cutler

Maybe loose sleeves for QB's are next, can't wait to see what you guys have for us as we go forward.

Looking forward to seeing something like this Ian and Mike

It says something about the new graphics that I had to convince myself that wasn't in fact an in game shot of Manning.

Don't worry, I won't humor him with a response.

Anyway I think the community event thing is awesome, and hopefully they continue to do it, perhaps even a couple of more times before this game ships... should be the same people so they can see how the issues they had were addressed at a later date... things like that.

Once again, its great to see this type of thing and hopefully it will just continue to evolve over the years.

# 53 KANE699 @ 04/13/09 06:42 PM

Now, just as long as we get the ability to put the handwarmers on backwards like a lot of players do, and I'll be content on that subject

I don't want to even think about the cost of that.

Why is the actual football still so huge? Look at the new Matt Hasselbeck pic. Does anyone agree that football needs to be a little smaller?

# 56 RufusTruthfist @ 04/13/09 06:45 PM

That shot is very atmospheric. Ian said the lighting is still being tuned but it really conveys an emotion.

That could just be the designer in me reading too much into it.

That would be great to see loose sleeves.

This has been hashed over. Basically, it's because they'd have to redo the animations if they made it any smaller.

cool handwarmers and neon gloves and the handwarmers actually have the teams logo

Yeah thats what i'm waiting on the mouth pieces. Nice screen though. I knew as soon as I seen the hand warmers people would be trippin just like the towels...lol

Now all I need from a screen shot is some mouth peices and then i'll be trippin or at least confrimation of them would be good enough for me!!!

qoute from blog

2:00 � 3:00 � �The Lab� (Focus: General Gameplay and AI Feedback in practice mode).

I hope this also means practice mode has been worked on and we may see more depth in practice. A set of downs for offensive and defensive play would be nice Ian.
