Traditionally there has never been much insight into the upcoming Madden before the NFL Draft. This year all that has changed with the Inside EA Blog postings and the first two screenshots having already been officially unveiled and broken down. Ian Cummings, lead designer of Madden 10, today posted a new screenshot. You can see it full size in the gallery.

The new screen does a good job of displaying some of the subtle improvements that have been made including the procedural awareness. There is an agressiveness being shown by the receiver that has never been apparent in previous iterations and the defensive back is not making a flailing leap into the air to bat the ball down. There is still a long ways to go but the natural look to the screens thus far is certainly encouraging.

    YES NOW HIEGHT AND SEPARATION WILL ACTUALLY MATTER!!!!!! i hated it when i played as the chargers and beemed it high as hell to vincent jackson 6'5 one on one w/ antione winfield 5'9 and he would jump up like spiderman and pick it off or bat it down
  • KIng
    who are we kidding madden 10 is already done and waiting to be shipped. tht picture is a final product!
  • Pasta, any word on if they'll be putting in the "Wild Cat" formation or even just some gadget plays at the very least? There are no WR reverse, dbl WR reverse, WR toss,HB toss,etc...........I saw one flea-flicker last year and was SHOCKED that they actually had one! You see the Steelers & Pats use them like once a game in "real life".
  • Nothing concrete yet, but I fully expect the Wildcat to be in. I'll msg Ian on Twitter saying we'd like a blog about that and gadget plays.
  • That's why we love you bra......and not in a man-crush way or anything, I promise........

    I'm amazed at how many people come in here to post just to talk shit about EA and Madden. Yes they haven't lived up to 2k gameplay yet but you would have to be blind to not realize that they have been working hard to bring back Madden from arcade to realistic.

    Also, if this was last year we would have zero info now other than the press release so they still have not released any big features yet just little touches. If you go into this game expecting shit from EA then there is no chance you will be able to enjoy it. It would be like playing The Show and complaining that the players go through each other, focusing on the things it does bad rather than the all things it does good. I am going into this game with an open mind and if EA doesn't deliver then I will go back to All Pro Football but I am going to give it a fair chance first rather than hating on it before I've seen any gameplay videos.

    The thing about the show is that the amazing gameplay and realism makes you look past things like players going through eachother everynow and then. If the show was like Madden you would have pitchers hitting 400ft HRs (like scrub LBs jumping 10ft into the air to pick a ball off), players just appearing at the mound instead of cutscences with stats, and every batting stance and pitching delivery would be the exact same. If the show was like that I bet people would be talking shit about it.
    YES this year is looking alot more promising but statements they have made "what you see on sunday youll see in madden" and "most realistic madden to date" has been hear before from previous years yet were left dissapointed. I'm not giving madden shit but im not going to praise pics and statments they say. When the game come out ill rent it and give it a chance but their track record just shows dissapointment.
  • Yes I agree I didn't mean to compare The Show to Madden because clearly they aren't even close to on the same level. However, my point is that there are people out there who are going to hate Madden regardless of how good it is this year and point out the negatives. I'm not sold that Madden will be great this year but people keep making remarks about how they are just changing little things that aren't important and it will ultimately be the same game when they really haven't released any big info yet. People need to at least wait until Madden starts talking about the bigger gameplay improvements and videos of gameplay before they trash it.
    Like I said before if Madden comes out like it has the past few years then I will be the first one to go right back to All Pro Football but I am going to wait and see before I make that decision.

    i hope the Dolphins gloves are orange instead of green
  • Best of Luck to the all Players who are Participating For Win.
    May God Bless you.
  • Guru
    this looks pathetically unaesthically terrible...LMAO @ some of the comments in here tho
  • E. Manning's mask is wrong too! If EA put as much time making sure that NBA Live has signature looks and likenesses then why can't they make NFL players look identical to their real-life counterparts. All RB's and WR's look the same to me in Madden.....have Portis wear his colored socks extra high...make B.Jacobs look like....well......BRANDON JACOBS!!!
  • I agree its crazy how much better/realistic nba live is compared to madden... whoever is over nba live knows their stuff
  • lowell
    i hope they have some screens with new face masks!!!
    ie justin tuck and chris cooley
  • You must not be paying attention.......they've already re-done dozens of animations to make gameplay more realistic (qb drops,fb dives,wr/db jostling,etc.) and drastically improved lighting and depth of feild finally for improved graphics soooooooooooooo yeah these little "touches" are GREAT!!!! Now just----->

    1. add kicking meter
    2. add ability to choose alternate jerseys online
    3. 4 vs 4 play online/4 player offline PLEAEEEEESE!!!!
  • im upset
    i feel this game will be bad because their giving all the whiners all the little detail instead of adding better gameplay and graphics.this wont be a good madden
  • How bout some lobbying for some T.O. shots with my Bills Pasta!!!! I mean after the 'Hawks of course...:)
  • Mo Diddley
    Pasta how much are those ads paying you? I noticed they have increased tremendously. Quit the ol' day job huh? I played that weak boxing game online it was simply horrible had nothing to do with boxing. It was contest of who can stare the hardest. The graphics looked like atari on crack o.0. and the gameplay had about as much skill as taking a nap. That was some total BS Pasta. It's time to get some better sponsors. your site is good though I have to admit.
  • Guru
    lmao...............fuckin rite
  • Mo Diddley
    Maybe if you had some skillz in Madden you wouldn't have cornerbacks stopping your weak play calling. and it's Nnamdi Asomugha learn how to spell it chump that's his birth name show some respect. I could personally shut you down with da Raiders with Nnamdi Asomugha stopping Moss all day. :@

    Man honeslty this looks nice! im really feeling the gloves and how the corner and wr both attack the ball jus like in real-life! seems to me that madden may be heading in the right direction this time! i would love to have a complete madden this year no bullshit! it should be madden 2004 or 2005(gameplay) tied into madden 2009 next-gwn graphics! that would be the best madden ever! jus hope they add colored cleats and a helmet that actually looks like it fits your head! and how wen you edit a player and you tuck his slewves under his jersey i.e(raylewis, ed reed, james harrioson, antrell rolle, adrian wilson and etc) theplayers shoulder pads all of a sudden looks like he got on double pads! AND PLEASE EA PLEASE COULD YOU BRING IN THE TOWELS AND TATTOS PLEASE! I LOOK AT GAMES LIKE NBA LIVE AND NBA 2K AND THEY HAVE EVERY TATTO DOWN TO SIZE ESPECIALLY NBA 2K9! IT JUS MAKES THE VISUALS OF THE PLAYERS STAND OUT MORE! GOOD POST PASTA!
  • Mo Diddley
    Would you also like the tattos on their butt checks in da game as well? You guys are insane what does tattoes have to do with gameplay? Yall act like a pretty woman yall are never satisfied. Always complaining cleat color , helmet type, gloves LOL would you like custom jock straps in da game as well? Looks like we got another mama's basement boy here.

    "I LOOK AT GAMES LIKE NBA LIVE AND NBA 2K AND THEY HAVE EVERY TATTO DOWN TO SIZE ESPECIALLY NBA 2K9! IT JUS MAKES THE VISUALS OF THE PLAYERS STAND OUT MORE!"

    "You guys are insane what does tattoes have to do with gameplay?"

    You must have not read what he was saying so I quoted it... KEY WORD visuals, not gameplay. Presentation is a HUGE part of a sports game, it's what makes The Show so great (along with great gameplay). It's also what makes the basketball titles feel authentic (AI, Melo, James). When playing with the Saints you feel like you dont even have jeremy shockey on the field. I remember when he was on the giants roster there was no visual difference between him and boss.
  • BLACKFLAGZ10
    dude mo dick head is just being a bitch! if YOU WANT SOME FUCKIN GAMEPLAY STRAP DA FUCK UP CALL 20 MORE PLAYERS UP AND YALL GO PLAY BACKYARD FOOTBALL! YOU JUS SOME LAME ASS DUDE WHO JUS GETS ON EVERY DAMN DAY ANNOYING EVERYBODY! IF IM GOIN TO PAY $60 FOR A FUCKIN VIDEO GAME I WANT THE BEST! SO IF THAT MEANS ADD TATTOOS TO MAKE THE PLAYERS STAND OUT MORE THAN ADD IT! YEA GAMEPLAY IS A MUST BUT THINK ABOUT IT EVERY YEAR SINCE MADDEN HAS HIT NEXT-GEN THEY PROMISED US THE BEST GAMEPLAY EVER SEEN! BUT HAVE THEY DONE IT YET?? NOOO! DEY JUS IMPROVE VISUALS THATS IT! SO WHY ASK FOR GAMEPLAY FEATURES WHEN WE ALL KNOW THEY GON DO THE SAME FUCKIN THANG DEY DO EVERY YEAR "LIE ABOUT IT"! NUM NUTS!!!!!!! NEXT TIME WEN YOU REPLY TO MY POST MAKE SOME DAMN SENSE! BLACKFLAGZ AND IM OUT! OH YEA U JUS BEEN BODIED I LET PASTA LAY DA CHALK DOWN!
  • Mo Diddley
    That's what jersey numbers are for little jamie. To identify individual players. So an inkblot on somebody's arm is how you identify them? aw man get some sun little jamie. Time to move out of da basement.

    "Would you also like the tattos on their butt checks in da game as well? You guys are insane what does tattoes have to do with gameplay?"
    Perhaps you would like to go back to "John Madden Football 94", then? Pixel football at it's finest? Asking for next generation graphics out of a next generation game is not at all unreasonable.

    "Yall act like a pretty woman yall are never satisfied. Always complaining cleat color , helmet type, gloves LOL would you like custom jock straps in da game as well?"
    Now options are a bad thing too? With a year in-between game releases and the exclusive rights to NFL video games, it's actually mind-boggling that they don't have things like officially licensed helmets, cleats, gloves, etc.

    "Looks like we got another mama's basement boy here."
    Really? A person who uses the word "da" instead of "the" is going to call someone a "mama's basement boy"? Hypocrisy, thy name is Mo Diddley.
  • Mo Diddley
    mocking me about using "da" yet you spell MJ as EmJay LOL. Get a life baby emjay and pay some rent. and to me the graphics look okay it's the game play that needs improving. the more yall voice about BS glove straps the more it takes away from further developing the game play. keep your eye on the prize. we want better game play and then add all of that BS glove color, contact lenses, ashy elbow etc etc.

    I'm on your side baby emjay
  • i pray they fix franchise mode
  • Alex Rodriguez
    Ian Cumm Ming

    something I'd tell my wife on the ole honeymoon.
  • Mo Diddley
    What wife? Your divorced remember?
  • what an unrealistic pic... any bucs fan knows clayton hasnt made a catch like that in years
