Love the new moves RBs will get, Im assuming its for anyone your running with. Hopefully its not for RBs only. I like the fact that you can stumble and regain balance.
The very first screenshot, Romo is just stood there like a station and does not even seem to be looking at the ball.
He is busy planning out the design of the golf course he is going to build with the money he pilfered from JJ in his contract extension...
Too many years idolizing the worst big game QB in NFL history (Brett Favor for the other team) has him on track to eclipse the "ole gunslinger" in games blown...
The graphics look improved somewhat, always good to see. I'm much more concerned about Connected Franchise though.
I am too the point where I think the graphics have been good enough. I wish one year the graphics stayed exactly the same and focused on other areas. I know they have different departments, but maybe they should reallocate some of their resources.
Dont get me wrong, the game does look great froma screen shot perspective
Everyone in this picture is hunched over. Man I can't wait to see how good this looks in motion when/if they change the running animations back to PS2/XBOX days, and fix the locomotion.
So as far as you know, is the issue sharing animations with NHL, because that's what the hunch puts me in the mind of, a hockey player hunched over skating and using a hockey stick.
Hockey players also don't "run" so I don't think the reason is that its something that is shared between the games.
He changed facemasks before last year and he's wearing the correct one in that screenshot. The one he used to wear, that's also worn by Trent Richardson and Darrelle Revis still appears to be wrong however.
Not a single one of those running backs actually look like they should. It's so incredibly frustrating how lean and stiff they look. They are not running like human beings run, either. Horrible. I'm so sick of it. The easiest damn thing should be making the players in the game look exactly like their real life selves...and I'm not even talking about their faces. None of them have the correct body proportions, muscles, anything.
This maybe completely wrong but the more I look at the way people say the players a re "hunched over", the more I start wondering how much this have to do with sharing the tech (ANT) from games like NHL, FIFA and even NBA Live. Maybe the issue is, in those games, especially NHL, the player are often inherently hunched over in motion due to the nature of the sport but not football. They are carrying the football so they don't need to hunch over to interact or make moves with it, like the other EA sports games do to interact with their respective ball/puck.
Could this be the reason behind the hunched over running in Madden, they need a separate animation tool for running in the football game?
again in sports how often do you see anyone standing straight up..
I honestly think most hatred towards madden, is derived from peoples hatred of EA... I honestly see the improvement of Madden year upon year, where franchises such as NBA 2k didn't change anything in most installments of the game except for improved graphics. Also they took the NBA Live approach to a dribble stick. Regardless I will buy Madden 25 as well as NBA 2k, even the changes are minor they are there.
