Early Look at Madden 2010 Running Animations
by 
EA Sports has released two videos providing an opportunity to see some running animations being worked into Madden 2010. This obviously isn’t gameplay footage but instead a chance for an unprecedented glimpse into what goes into a game still very early in the development process. Continue on to watch the two videos and leave your thoughts in the comments.

guys i have a question. how can i complain to EA about this shitty game? i cant take it anymore cuz madden is too shitty. shitty graphics, shitty movements, shitty refs, shitty shits… im sick and tired of all those shits in madden. i really want EA to know how i feel about this game.
November 25, 2008 at 7:21 am
All Pro Football 2K8 is still WAY better than ANY Madden….
November 25, 2008 at 7:47 am
I dont see a difference

November 25, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Blackflagz10…I love the post. You said everything that I was thinking. I guess if EA doesn't get it together then I will go back to NFL 2k5.
November 25, 2008 at 12:47 pm
It looks the same to me…
November 26, 2008 at 4:53 am
WTF they better have Refs on the field or i'm gonna lose it
November 26, 2008 at 7:03 am
sorry poeple but ea will NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER PUT OUT A QUALITY GAME! SUCKS FOR US BECAUSE HONESTLY WE ARE STUCK WITH IT BECUASE THERE ARE NO OTHER FOOTBALL GAMES AVAILABLE! DAMN 2K WHY DID YOU LEAVE US SO THROWED OFF!
November 26, 2008 at 8:08 am
wow… the hypes starting already, i feel bad for the ones who get excited over this
November 26, 2008 at 8:17 am
lol i luv the ppl that are sayin EA should do what they did in live and give signature styles… i got some bad news for you, the only reason EA did that in Live is because 2k has it and they are trying to keep up… madden has no rival game so dont expect next year… the best you can expect are the new rookies, a couple new jersey combos, improved player models (that theyve been improving since next gen, youd think theyd get it right by then), and maybe… JUST MAYBE the wildcat formation which will prolly be like running a reverse in madden… POINTLESS
November 26, 2008 at 11:32 am
If anything its worse. I still feel that 2k5 is the best football game ever made and Madden 09 is the worst madden ever made.
November 27, 2008 at 4:00 am
Amazing how they post that video. . .right after I post this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n27G-7-N6Jk&fm...
LOL. . . .
I have never seen them post previews videos of next years game (in progress) in November, LOL.
Pathetic.
November 27, 2008 at 9:22 am
They need to work on shit like the strength factor
and weight to
November 28, 2008 at 7:08 am
u need to make the shoulder pads bounce a lil bit they are way 2 stiff
November 28, 2008 at 7:50 am
yeah they are slacking big time with helmets and face masks.
there are alot of different styles out there right now so they need to do a much better job of getting em in the game.
for christ sake, their motto is if it's in the game, it's in the game.
November 28, 2008 at 9:53 am
they still move robotically, what the hell is wrong with these people? take some tips from 2k and make it better!
November 28, 2008 at 11:17 am
The QB should have more moves in the pocket to avoid rushers, like so many do in real life. Also, franchise could use some improvements. Rookies come in rated way too high. I just drafted Tim Tebow and he was a 98 his rookie year. On the other hand players don't progress very well. For example, if my RB leads the league in rushing then he should jump up in attributes.
November 29, 2008 at 2:54 am
let me guess, this will be one of the new feature. a new running style. the sad thing is that people will actually get hyped about this stuff.
November 29, 2008 at 4:38 am
Time for all the raggin to end already…sadder than the fact that EA has destroyed Madden, and put's out the same rehashed trash each season, is that 99% of everyone posting smack on here is going to run out and drop their parents hard earned $60 bucks on Madden 2010 first day it's out…You want a good NFL football game….then do one or both of these two things…
1. STOP BUYING THAT DAMN TRASH CALLED MADDEN!!
2. BOMBARD the HELL out of the NFL begging them to stop exclusive licensing and allow for open competition amongst game developers…
Once EA feel's it in the pocket book or has to compete with 2k games or some other developer, you'll see Madden turn around…
And remember this next year while your waiting in line for your copy of Madden 2010…it's YOUR fault the game sucks…cause you'd rather bitch and moan about it than make a serious effort to force a change…
December 2, 2008 at 3:04 am
How about they add a Playbook Creator with ability to make trick plays and shit, if it can be done in the reg playbooks of NCAA and Madden, i want to be able to create plays like it, and be able to make diff formations like Wildcat, and A-11, just make it so you can make whatever kinda play you can possibly think of, as long as they cant be used online.
December 3, 2008 at 8:23 am
BS indeed
December 3, 2008 at 8:27 am
the weather in madden 09 is not good i though they WOULD BE SMART AND PUT WEATHER TO THE HOME STATE AREA ONLINE. if it snowing in real life in Green Bay on a tuesday, anyone who plays madden online on that tuesday against the Green bay at their home it should be snowing
IM I RITE OR WAT

> Injuries, I want to see trainers, player being helped off, the cart…but please no blitz the league
> Player personalities and roles – if ocho cinco is on your team you'll have to deal with his off-field antics
> Bring back old-gen superstar and franchise: Superstar house, endorsements, movies, etc. In franchise mode bring back RFA's, owner mode, players having off field issues, suspensions
> More shoes than those butt rbks
> sidelines, better fans, cheerleaders
> real stiff arms-don't flip the dude every time
> wr reverse, wildcat
> what about practice squads
> long snappers
> running styles, custom moves, throwing motions (like in nba live 09 create-a-player)
> snapping attribute, throw release, clutch, locker room influence (chad johnson's would be like 20), leadership
>repeat injuries (a player with a bad knee, i.e.)
>rookie scouting
> persuade retiring players to stay around
> rebuild stadium without relocating
> allow for each player to have a primary and a secondary position (bronco's spencer larsen, FB-LB)
December 3, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Why cant anybody on this site actually speak English? Dont say it as " I LIKE THZ GAME CUZ ITZ BETTR THN THE RST", say it normal
anyhow… very similar to 09… but EA knows what they're doin
December 4, 2008 at 4:41 am

December 6, 2008 at 3:08 am
bring back madden it doesn't feel right playin madden any more with out his voice..The player running styles really need improvement..they should make it where u can choose a running style so every1 want run the same…and bring more player accesories to the game like hand warmers different shoes more glove selection i like dressing up my player on the field..thats just me…and improve on the jeresy and shoulder pads make them look more realistic…
December 6, 2008 at 3:24 am
And another thing on the weather this year when it rains the field should be a mess like players landing in water puddles…the game should look like that Mike Vick and T.O. commercial they had a few years back..and put refs on the field and show them throwing flags…and please put the chain gang on the field what type of crap is that….no chain gang thats just ridiculous…its ps3….ea really need to read these list of comments some of these guys need to be the 1 makin the game…cuz they kno what people want…obviously EA doesnt..just lookin to make a quick buck…Come on EA get it together..i've always liked EA but yall slippin big time…
December 8, 2008 at 5:12 am
Seems like the majority of us are on the same page…i say lets boycott madden until they listen and incoorperate realistic improvements..sidelines, helmets, uniforms, correct coaches, player to player differences, true team by team playbooks…madden 09 really sucks…there are no refs on the field no first down markers and the ball barely spends when its thrown and it spends the same way whether the qb is a lefty or righty….ea youre letting me down.
December 8, 2008 at 9:13 am
The running looks the same in 09, in 2010 the running backs needs to move faster and feel like they are running from a defender especially with body expression, reflexes and there real skills.
January 3, 2009 at 10:44 am
they should add different running styles to choose from, like short choppy steps such as leon washington and darren sproles, upright sprinter running like randy moss jamal lewis and figurs, and bowlegged running like deshawn wynn and the great oj simpson
Also some players run pigeon toed like jerricho cotchery and darren sproles, others run with their feet pointed outward like larry johnson
January 8, 2009 at 6:31 am
same ol lame game play, ill stick with NBA2K9 until EA sports loses thier license to produce nfl games. Compare NBA2K9 with NBALive and you will see how EA sports are only concerned with making money and not producing quality titles for thier customers…they are LAME!!!!!
January 16, 2009 at 12:02 am
I have 2k5…its kinda sad how much better 2k was…i really wish they still made games..remember the crib? the trophy room. SO COOL. lets just hope somehow 2k can make football games again.
February 8, 2009 at 10:13 pm
I would like to see at least 10 adjustments to be happy and say madden is honestly improving. 1 refs and chain gangs the sidelines need to look way more realistic. 2 way more realistic gang tackles and pile ups when a fumble happens .3 how about half tackles and sacks if two more playes makes a play on the runner they should get credit for it. 4 fix the man coverage to acutully covering it should not that be easy to complete passes on man coverage.
February 8, 2009 at 10:14 pm
5 the draft and free agent market needs serious adjustment make it fun give better feed back on the playes in the draft and if the cardinals need a rb they should not be drafting a wr, free agent market needs help to make head lines if you sign a big name. 6 suspensions, fines players demaning to leave and want trades make it more reallll please. 7 new tackles, and better feel for the game, dbs should react to the ball better players should have a way better idenity. 8 what happend to the franchize mode no building new stadiums way less options madden is just flat out lazy. 9 can the play books have for one some trick plays and its own idenities the miami dolphis should have the wild cat and and the eagles should have there own blitz packages. 10 and finally just put an effort to making the game real and better stop being lazy with all the technology the game should be better there no reason or excuss why older madden forps2 is beeter then 360 or ps3
April 23, 2009 at 7:35 pm
why all the hype at the at the end of the day we all know that madden 2010 will be a flawed product, better than 2009 , with a patch and a promise to be better in 2011 and yet not as good as the mighty nfl 2k5. you will not get all team alternate uniforms, trainners that come on the field for injured players, custom soundtracks,good audio in general,good online play,custom views, players talking trash calling one another by name, fast game play,half time, pregame, end of game show, espn , the ability to move your DL by tapping them with a linebacker…what you will get is a game that looks good, plays like game, something
that millions will love,thousands will hate….after a while madden gets boring and that is the biggest flaw of the game…while 2k5 is starting to show its age, it still feels like football and not a game….great audio and custom views combined with 1st person football keep it exciting to play( a true 60fps)without any slowdown.
It is time for madden to put 2k5 to bed;however, greed and ego will keep Peter Moore, Ian Cummings, EA, and lead programmer from delivering the product that we all want and deserve ti play.
April 29, 2009 at 5:24 am
I hope they fix the defenses ability, I just played a game online and the guy Qb sneaked like 8 times never being touched until after 5 yds, what is this shit, it's a move to get a few inches not break away for a long run, if it was Mike Vick TD everytime fix it, I've been waiting 12 years for EA to fix this problem.
May 5, 2009 at 4:46 pm
What a waste, do you honestly think were blind you are using the same tired moves you used on the previous madden 08 & 09 you EA sports team garabage
August 15, 2009 at 5:08 pm
2010 isnt all that bad
