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."

Right..Without having to redo all of the animations. Ian told us this awhile back. We will have to live with big balls this year. I know that it might be hard for some but we all have to make sacrifices in certain areas to devote time to development in other areas.

I guess... I don't know.. seems like they sell so many copies of this game it wouldn't really dent anyones pocket even witht eh economy ... but I understand that every group has a budget.

I think IAN addressed this and said that if they made it any smaller this year then they'd have to rework the hands or fingers or something.... bottom line it would've been more trouble than its worth.

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.

Am I hearing you correctly? You are the one who will dissect every screen shot and you say this? LOL. This is my favorite team and I like the Logo on the Hand Warmers but if we are going for a true identity of the player it should be corrected just like the many threads you have posted on this subject.

You are great at doing this but stop acting like your the king of it ok

If they put mouth pieces in they need to make them fly out of the guys mouth when he gets destroyed over the middle... but I doubt the NFL would OK that

So what I got out of it is

Handwarmers
Dirt on Jersey
Is there sweat? I see a little dot on the cheek of Hasselback that looks like Sweat.
Flat Jacket

Things I dont see

Eye paint
TJs long Hair if that is TJ

From Issues

Good

The Sim things are all perfect and I have no problem with any
Only problems are on the OL. Defense seems to look good

Bad

OL vs DL is a key

That is Deion Branch #83. T.J. will be #84 since Bobby Engram has moved on.

Ian has already said they would address the football size the best they can without having to re-do animations. I'm not too concerned about it. The biggest thing I was excited to hear in one the earlier blogs that the ball trajectory will be fixed. Too often, deep passes looked like mini punts. As long as the QB's throws a pretty ball ala 2k5, I'm good.

# 69 Nature_Boy @ 04/13/09 06:54 PM

Thanks for giving us so much info already Ian. It's hard to believe it's only April.

You were saying?

I remember a guy said that the NFL wouldn't ok late hits in madden in the what penalties would you like to see thread, but we got late hits so maybe we might get them if its added.

Nice blog. DRAFT LESS THEN 2 WEEKS AWAY

Say word to big bird they got hand-warmers in, I did not expect that. Like KANE mentioned, all I need to see is someone with it on their back opposed to their front and I'm good.

Seeing this actually gives me hope on another accessory addition/change that has been needed...I won't even mention, cause I have enough.

# 75 jimbo1215 @ 04/13/09 06:59 PM

shots fired

# 76 KANE699 @ 04/13/09 07:02 PM

One thing is wrong though, should be an easy fix, the inside lining should be neon green for all seahawks handwarmers, in the screenshot it is not.

Hasselbeck unbuckles that chinstrap after every single play, it's been documented somewhere (NFL Network?), so I looked for the single-buckled chinstrap - its something that stands out to me with that particular player. It stood out to me and I pointed it out. I think it's pretty hypocritical of you to come out and say I was bitch*ng about a particular equipment innaccuraccy when you got to travel to Tiburon studios and test out the game just because this is exactly what you do with facemasks (and I was never one to say stop complaining or that it's nitpicky). It's not like I was hating on the screenshot either, so I don't see why you're trying to sweep in superhero style to defend it at all costs.

# 78 bowdown2shadi @ 04/13/09 07:02 PM

Hotlanta, maybe team colored cleats? I never heard you say anything bout that just a guess...

# 79 streamline @ 04/13/09 07:03 PM

August can't come soon enough

You are very detailed and I like it! As you can see the player changes things daily like the rest of us. Did you not see the pic I posted with the Hand Warmers being all Black? I like the hand warmers in this pic better and that was part of my questions on if the players will have them in cold weather games and stuff like that.
