Madden 09 tackling blog and video

by
Posted May 14th, 2008 at 8:06 pm

A new Madden 09 producer blog and corresponding video have been posted, this one going over the new tackling engine and animations. You can read the full blog posting here.

With this brand new system (created in a collaborative effort between NCAA Football and Madden NFL), you will see unprecedented fluidity in multi-character interaction, which generates much better results across the board: improved blocking, improved chucks, better handoffs, interactive celebrations with teammates, and even friendly player avoidance and help-ups in post-play.  In NCAA you will see pursuit physics specific to wide open gameplay and interactive celebrating with mascots.  In Madden you will be manually breaking tackles, adding far better response and control as well as more depth to tackling, which is quite fun. None of this could be possible without this new engine.

Click here to watch the video on the official Madden website.

I hope that EA can just keep moving forward and don’t keep adding and subtracting features and then say they are groundbreaking new features implimented in the game. That being said I still think the tackling needs more work, the running style is aslo a little stiff and like some of the other people stated where are all the gang tackling EA has been promising us unless they are refering to the two people who latch onto the ball carrier and take him down.[/quote]

    exactly maden is only getting better as long as they dont step backwards people complain and complain i know we want a perfect game right now but were getting good if you want great thats hard there are no sport games that are perfect just give ea 2-3 years and then see what the game is like[/quote]

    This is now year 4 on the 360 and yeah 3 on the PS3. If I give EA 2-3 more years, they will be on the PS4/Xbox 720 by then. At that point, Madden will have regressed, as per usual on a new platform, to bare bones features all over again.

    I think it is more than reasonable at this point for Madden to at bare minimum offer the same features that can be found on the last-gen (PS2) version of the game.

    [quote comment="21307"]I love it when people see some minute little detail about socks or shoes not being 100% accurate, and then saying that they’re not gonna buy the game! -LOL …I’ll still see you at EB @ midnight on the 11th awgot!!![/quote]

    People complain about uniforms being inaccurate because the NFL gives EA a style guide to follow for every single team in the NFL. It lists every combination of uniforms and every detail of the uniforms.

    EA brags that the exclusive deal with the NFL allows them access to stuff that they have never had before and a chance to bring an unprecented level of realisim.

    Then EA releases a game with inaccurate uniforms, in some cases with the same mistakes that have been there for years, showing their lack of effort. The laziness associated with that is what makes people mad.

    Is it dumb to not by Madden because some socks are wrong? To me yes, but to others I guess not. The point is that people have been asking EA to fix something that is simple and that they have the BEST reference for and they don’t do it.

    It is just another in the numerous examples of the community and customers being ignored by EA in relation to Madden.

    The video looks good and it does look like they are making improvements – but to be honest Madden 08 looks good as well. The graphics/animations were never an issue.

    The biggest problem I have with the Madden series (not sure if it is fixed for this edition) is that there are no trades between non-CPU controlled teams.

    Any word on that feature pasta?

    Thanks,

    Pasta –

    Can you ask EA if these things have been fixed/included?

    1. Stupid amount of fumbles.
    2. Scouting actually working in franchise mode
    3. Franchise being broken because of a lack of Free Agents
    4. CPU INTs counting as double in simmed franchise games.
    5. In-season progression included.
    6. O-lineman still not getting pancakes in non-simmed games.
    7. D-lineman still not getting sacks in non-simmed games.

    Thanks a lot!!

    [quote comment="21302"]I just don’t understand this love of the NFL so much that you even NOTICE if a team’s socks are too short. Holy hell. I’d be perfectly fine with a totally generic game based on 2k8 with total customization. Heck… that been a dream of mine for almost 30 years back when I used to create my own teams in Statis-Pro football. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, this site should explain it for you: http://www.bombersgolf.com/StatisPro/FootBall/home.html )

    That said.. and I haven’t seen this video, it does look like they are putting more effort into this game. It’s the first time I’ve even been interested in what was going on Madden-wise (I haven’t bought a new copy of Madden since… hell, 2001 for the PC).

    Anyway.. for those of you so interested in socks and shoes… you obviously don’t have as much love of the GAME of football as you do paper dolls and fashion.

    There… I said it.[/quote]

    Darkheath ive said it on 2k and ill say it here infact ive said it everywhere.. IT’s ALL ABOUT QUALITY. some like it? others settle for less..its called you either do it all right or do it none at all..now if some people like a half assed game sent out by people who went to college and are money smart? then i want the game that way..say what you will but people who love to settle for less eeks me..frankly because it should not BE that way…

    not a sermon just a thought.

    Hey Pasta,

    EA still hasn’t got the uniforms right. After watching the video the redskins uniforms were incorrect. I was under the impression that they wore burgundy/gold striped socks for the majority of last season and I still haven’t seen this combination in the next-gen yet. Please advise if possible. Thanks

    Why EA? Why? The 49ers played every single game last year with black shoes and they will continue with them, why can you add Dancing With the Stars mode after you score a TD but cant get my Niners uniforms right? Please oh please explain.

    Pasta if you could please let some representive at EA know that the Niners wear black shoes, thanks!

I want a valuable reason why Madden 09 will be good and when i see something slacking it gets at me..because even though its a game..there is still room for improvment..whether or not the masses settle for less..

    Because you always throw that Madden Sheep analogy around for every post you type. People will buy what they want to buy no matter how crappy another person tells them the game is because it’s their choice. But I like MLB2K8 over the other game though but like I said it’s just my preference like all the other people here.

    when i hear a bahh i have to point to see one..now when i talk about them i mention them. apparently if your the type that prefer a certain type of thing and attack others for pointing out whats wrong is entirely different from those who just wish to get something because they are consumers. two different stories now if your doing what you do good for you..but if those who point out people who like quality then those who do the action should be called out..its only fair

    hey i’m just tellin it like it is…and its the truth..funny how mlb 2k8 got slaughtered on here and no one stopped and gave that game a chance and said its just a game but yet when madden 09 shows glitz and glammer here and there everyone jumps on you and the community tries to burn you at the stake.. I want a valuable reason why Madden 09 will be good and when i see something slacking it gets at me..because even though its a game..there is still room for improvment..whether or not the masses settle for less..[/quote]

    Because you always throw that Madden Sheep analogy around for every post you type. People will buy what they want to buy no matter how crappy another person tells them the game is because it’s their choice. But I like MLB2K8 over the other game though but like I said it’s just my preference like all the other people here.[/quote]

    when i hear a bahh i have to point to see one..now when i talk about them i mention them. apparently if your the type that prefer a certain type of thing and attack others for pointing out whats wrong is entirely different from those who just wish to get something because they are consumers. two different stories now if your doing what you do good for you..but if those who point out people who like quality then those who do the action should be called out..its only fair

    Hey it looks great and all but what madden really needs is a new look these same player models moving in a new way isnt all that exciting hey if you squint your eyes madden looks real but it looks like last year but a lil smoother an example of how much it improved is like you playn ps2 version of madden then go to your friends house and play the xbox version you notice how polished it looks thats all this seem like to me i think to bring the spark back is to redo the models. I know im the millionth person to say this but ea really has to add the espn presentation cause the sprint halftime show is garbage you have to randomly look through the highlights i feel like they changed that but i doubt it and what up with ea being so secretive with the information i mean they carry the nfl license so its not like they have competition all pro and back breaker combined wont beat out madden sales lets just be real so they really need to drop that blockbuster feature on us and stop with the crap new camera angle thingy as a feature you wait on for an entire week i was so disappointed when i saw that say something like there will be a nfl draft show with mel kiper jr not junk like return field goals and weather and a wider camera angle that is freakn weak ea used to be the truth and people use to not complain that much with features like owner mode and hit stick and playmaker on the run fan creator training camp during franchise now we have DRUM ROLL PLEASE A GREAT SNOW STORM OH AND CLEAR VISORS!!!!

    You probably make a point in that large dump of words somewhere, but without basic grammar I can’t understand a thing you write.
