Madden NFL 10 Blog: The Importance of an Early Community Day (New Screenshot Included

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've been waiting for this question. I don't think I've ever experienced something as satisfying in a video game as controlling Brandon Jacobs. It's like driving a tank. Absolutely awesome.

Nice to hear broski..with that being said, did you get a chance to test drive the new model of Adrian Peterson? If so how did if feel compared to Jacobs?

If you didn't get to use Peterson could you give us an example of a different back that you used and how it felt different than Jacobs? Thanks!

I gotta admit, Ian and Co. Really did pick the right guys to play this build of Madden. By Picking some of the Biggest Critics, you know where you stand.

Good job Fellas..

LOL agreed. He was my favorite back to use that day although if there was one thing that I probably reminded Cowboy fans of too much was, "YOU GOT TAH BE KIDDIN ME!!!!!!!!!!!! WILLIS McGaHee!!!!!!!!!"

J-Train was beast though. Right Kane!!!

Didn't use AP because if I were to control the Vikings, I'd sabotage them on every play. I can't help it:P

But I did use Gore a bit and James a lot. Yes, I felt the differences, and it subconsciously made me play differently. I can't get too specific about why they felt different because a lot of it is new stuff that either isn't finalized or hasn't been talked about yet.

I used Jacobs, McGahee, Ricky Williams. Jacobs felt heavy as did Rickey. Willis did not feel as heavy but he was not very agile either. Other than that can't say much.

Can I ask you this, were you successful running the ball with my man Gore?

And how was Hill? I gotta know man, love my Niners!

Willis felt like an average back. He did not feel like Jacobs. Jacobs felt like a Bulldozer/Tank. McTrain on the other hand had that Jacobs feel.

Nice. So with Jacobs did you feel you can knock over anyone in your path?

Man, cant wait to run with two RB's in Madden!

Hey thanks, I gotta admit, I think about it sometimes. But my other guys that went with me I feel like we are a team now.

Pretty much. He's not that fast though. I got caught from behind at times.

Right on...what I really want to know about and I am sure that you have to be careful with what I am going to ask you..How much difference in acceleration was there between the different backs you used? I know you probably can't say too much but is there a big difference in feel with acceleration from 09 to what you experienced? Again I know you can't go into much but just looking for as much in this area as you can give. Thanks again broski!

Haha, yep... it was awesome, sitting next to LBz the whole time. He'd tap me and point out this issue or that issue on the defense, then I'd turn around and do the same thing on offense.

I wish there were a way we could all go down again, this time better prepared because of the experience. One of the things we've all been talking about is just how we should have done things. How much more productive we could have been on a second day.

LBz is still writing feedback. Unfortunately a lot of my impressions have kind of faded, and I didn't maximize my time anyways.

It'd be nice if Ian and Phil could play a game and send us the footage... that might jog me a bit, I could probably produce another 5-6 pages myself.

Only because of the squatting and you know it!!!!!! Hahahaha no really though.

I got to try out AP and he did some pretty good damage too, was really happy with his effectiveness.

# 698 Phobia @ 04/15/09 05:47 PM

Can any comments on change of direction if it felt more "weighted"??? Lb, Adem, Kane??

Now I am fired up...I can't wait to use my Vikes! So how different was using AP compared to CT? Have been wondering for teams with two back systems if you have manually put in the second back or is it based on the percentage of carries that would be set by the coach sliders?

Also, were you able to use Jackson and Sage? How different was that experience? One of them should be a lot more accurate in the West Coast offense...I will let you determine which one that is

You got me on #1. Finally, the death of robo-qb is within range.

OL/DL pocket and presentation will up the ante.
