Madden 2010 News Post

Look at Maximum tackle and the suddenness in which the tackler arrives and the wealth of options in this system. The tackler comes to tackle not engage in a line dance. I know I don't know all the features to Pro Tak, when it comes to the actual tackle, but when you see this video, of ESPN NFL 2K5 tackle options you will understand why I critisize the grabbing for grabbing sake.

In 2k5 you could initiate the tackle with a wrap or a hit. I also like which wasn't mentioned in the video, you can choose whether or not you should wrap high or low by flicking the right stick up for high wrap tackle and flicking down for low wrap tackle and the next defender(s) attacks the ball carrier.

I'm not hating, I actually like the idea, I just want it to be aggressive and violent as it should be its a collision sport not contact and racing up to a ball carrier just to hold onto him just for looks, just doesn't look good.

I think it looked great. Around the 2:10 mark, Brandon Jacobs inexplicably gets stood up by Carlos Rodgers while another DB does a 180 degree turn to tack on to the animation. That was an eyesore. Other than that great jjob.

It's "BAILEY" not "C.BAILEY".

Anyway, game looks good.
I'm going to go fix that right now. Do any players even have their first initial anymore? Seems like all of them have gone to last name...

WOW! That is all I have to say! Great job guys!

I did notice 1 thing though, it looks like the runner almost stops or slows down right before impact. Like he is afraid to get hit? I still think that vid was amazing none the less.

Maybe it's because I haven't see the game in person but I'm personally not "blown away" by the graphical upgrade.

I'm more so impressed. The game imo looks the same as 09 but with added details (self shadowing, depth of field, etc.). But yeah for me to be "blown away" it would have to be as big of a jump that 09 was from 08.

But anyways, keep up the good work. I fully agree that this will be the biggest leap in terms of gameplay in madden history since things that have been addressed have been problems in madden for a long time.

Maybe blown away is the wrong choice of words...but the big thing for me is to have all this ultra realistic lighting, self shadowing, depth of field, new parts like towels and handwarmers, etc....AND they add a bunch more characters with refs and chain gang. In Madden land, that's unheard of.

Exactly. That's why I'm impressed.

Either way though I might just end up being blown away when I finally get to play it ... especially if the presentation is top notch.

Can't wait for the news on that

I believe you're right. I could've sworn I read somewhere that the NFL isn't allowing initials anymore at all, but I could be wrong.

Ian, if you're still watching this thread... this is the shot I was talking about for F3 (Thanks Clairvoyant):



I hope we get something like that.

Clairvoyant's "wow" says it all.
 
# 293 RGiles36 @ 05/12/09 09:24 AM
I was sort of dismissive of the whole colored cleat phenomenon. But admittedly, they look pretty damn cool.

Great vid.

Madden 09


Madden 10

What a difference a year makes.

Oh, and a Dev team that cares.
