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.

    I think it's a shift to how the game played on the PS2…maybe a little quicker?

    I think it's cool that they are keeping the community updated on the development process. But, I would like to see a variety of different running styles. Something that will make each running back look and feel unique.

    EA should at least give star players they're own signature animations. But i have no faith in them doing something awesome like that.
    They'll probably just churn out another gimmick ridden game and turn the hype machine key. Its amazing how little progress madden has actually made since 1999… almost 10 years and not one signature animation, no online dynasty, a horrific superstar mode, the same create a team logo's and b.s. and graphically the game looks like its straight out of 2001. BUT OH WAIT, THEY FINALLY GOT SNOW AND RAIN IN AN ONLINE GAME….HOOORAY!!!!

    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

    What's different? I thought that EA was looking into the engine the creators of Backbreaker were utilizing? Also, any more news on Backbreaker?

    The 1st improvement I want to see is refs on the field & chaingangs. If they go another year without getting the basics of an NFL game right then I'm done with Madden for the rest of my life! They better improve the sidelines (make the players on the sidelines look like players on the field). The sidelines better have collision detection too (What happened to the days of running over the chaingangs?). If I see one more player phantomly walk through another player on the sideline I'm gonna snap! While they're at it, the pileons need to have collision detection too. This is going to be Madden 2010 & there's no excuse why EA can't get this right this year. No more stupid gimick features just go back to the basics EA for God's sake!

    EA's spin move isn't even a spin at all…it is more of a pivot. When I watch a player put a spin move on a defender in the NFL, they do it not to change direction but to "elude" a defender and quickly spin on a dime. Please let them know Pasta that this is unacceptable. NFL2K5 used to have a stutter step (R analog up) right before contact and auto spun when needed and it felt very real. If no contact…no spin, just a few stutters. Worked very well in the open field…………..stiff arms are too quick too. I wanna see a guy run 5 yds upfield sometimes w/his hand in a DB's face!

    Definately need chaingangs, refs and FUMBLE PILE-ONS!!! How cool would it be to see the refs pull dudes off and dramatically point 1st down the other way?!!!!

    Yeah i agree that they need to speed the game up. It still feels really choppy and it seems like all players are the same speed. Why are lineman able to catch me when i'm returning an interception with a CORNERBACK? In this game there are only a few players who are really fast ( westbrook, peterson, tomlinson to name a few ) and the only reason they are so fast is cuz everyone else is so damn slow. They also need to totally revamp the catching animations. They look stupid and you hardly have any control over your receivers.

    He's very bow-legged…. that's the only difference.

    So the first new feature in Madden 2010 is that all running backs are white cowboys… brilliant.
