things i thought were crucial....


[12:06:18] @ [STARS] EggzOverEazy : those broken tackles, where willie shook off 2 people, that sucked
[12:06:35] @ [STARS] EggzOverEazy : but the guy in the flat zone on that cover 2 play made the tackle on that one reception

[12:06:39] @ [STARS] EggzOverEazy : the blocking was awesome
[12:06:51] @ [STARS] EggzOverEazy : and the receivers made catches that looked more natural
[12:06:57] @ [STARS] EggzOverEazy : like.... in stride

the gang tackling is nice

this is Ian Cummings talking about the response to the video. (and by the way i did notice they were trying to recreate superbowl plays, which is cool, but i think since its the FIRST trailer, they should have just highlighted the quality of the game and some new features/new animations)

Well, I am a sucker...I had to come back to see the feedback. 30
minutes later and a few notches down on my confidence level, we can be
frank about what we saw.

The key thing to note here is that this trailer maybe didn't appease
the community, but mainly because it was only focused on a few things.
The direction given to them was to re-create the Super Bowl plays
instead of actually focus on ALL the new stuff. As I said before there
were quite a few cringe worthy moments, but I think it did succeed in
showing a lot of new stuff.

If you've posted that you think the game looks exactly the same as 09,
I am sorry, you are blindly hating. Just to give some perspective - we
as a team have specifically added and changed MANY of the top items
from the community, including things that haven't existed in Madden for
20 years. You can say "well it should have been there before" - ok,
fair enough, but does that mean it's not supposed to be there now?

Things I'm talking about: More than 3 people in a gang
tackle (the system supports up to 9 FWIW), all new OL/DL interaction,
all new WR/DB play, fumble pileups, etc. We still have plenty of tuning
to do but let's be real here folks...the running animation not being
different is a change pretty paltry in comparison to those up above
(and we'll try to do that)...those areas above took months of
development time and I think we have to call a spade a spade and
realize that we are moving in the right direction. For the majority of
the shots there isn't a single animation from 09, and the footage also
included something never before seen in a football game - 4-5 man gang
tackles, and a real fumble pileup. I will be clear - I agree with many
of the critical posts though:
- the edge rush/blocking animations were cool but blocking as a whole
wasn't impressive. Yep, 'cringe-worthy' is what I would call this.
- the gang tackling was cool but Parker shouldn't be able to break that many...well known before the video went out
- the running animations are the same from 09 (stiff)...our animation
director is working on this as we speak. Cringe-worthy as well
- there were times when the defense played in an incorrect fashion
(most of these were done for the purpose of the highlight video, but AI
tuning is something we work on all cycle)

iCombine's post (Madden NFL 10 Trailer) is a great one to me and spot
on - I am very happy we still have 2 months to work on this game and
these are the areas that we'll be working on.

So all in all we have plenty of work still to do but at least we have
some technology foundations to build off of. What if our first trailer
showed no new animations? No OL/DL interaction improvements? No WR/DB
jostling? No gang tackling?

the tackles, movements and catches look soo much more smooth and real...I cant wait for the demo to come out for it man!!!!
