I honestly don't think he'll make a comment on it. I would be very very surprised. In essence, he'll have to concede that they jacked up the run animation. The question is, will they go the extra effort to tweak it.. so at least the stride is faster.

Imagine playing a shooter with no recoil.. a racing game that doesn't show a sense of speed. Those animations really take the believability out of the game imo. I don't understand how they could let that slide as acceptable.

It depends on how the animate with shorter strides. We dont want the players feet moving fast while it looks like they're barely going anywhere, lol.

cool

Looks good. I see no reason why this Madden should not be equal to or more successful than previous versions.

EA has a sure thing in Madden, come August 95% of Madden buyers will be happy.

It definitely will. I don't like it, but its the truth.

Naw, Brookings is in Dallas.

It was actually Curtis Lofton, who would have taken his head off.

...Turner should be bigger and where are DeAngelo's dreads?

# 70 beefjohnson @ 06/21/09 05:52 PM

it just looks choppy to me...

it goes into a nice smooth animation of breaking a tackle or being tackled etc...to full speed and turning on a dime as soon as you get out of something..needs to be alot smoother

Well we don't need a big back for short yardage now, just give it to drew on fourth and 2 he's good for it LOL!

haha....and since Drew can truck people I bet Delhomme can avoid turnovers and can outrun half the defense

Just a feeling in my gut, I mean they might be improved, but I still dont think they'll be what everyone is looking for. I'm pretty sure Ian said they were really going to be working on this alot for next year, so thats why I think what we're seeing is what we'll be getting.

i agree there are moments of smooth animations then jittery stiff ones

I think (hope) that we might be alright with the choppiness... at least during gameplay. I was worried at first like you guys, but I went back and watched some gameplay videos during E3. The animations during the game were smooth, but when any replays were shown they looked choppy like in the 'NFC South' video.

So, I'm at least hoping the game plays smooth and it's just the replay choppiness being shown in this 'NFC South' highlight video.

Still annoying that replays can't look smooth if this is the case.

Good video, but too much of Peppers for the Panthers.

I feel the same way.
