Early Look at Madden 2010 Running Animations

November 24, 2008 by pastapadre 4959Comments2008-11-24+14%3A59%3A59pastapadre

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.

nice

sdot on November 24th, 2008 3:07 am

same ol BS i'll pass on MADDEN 10

james on November 24th, 2008 3:09 am

maybe im crazy but i dont really see anything all that different there

2KisKing on November 24th, 2008 3:09 am

Looks like 09 to me. I know we have another 9 1/2 months till 2010 so we'll see what they end up with then

p1stons23 on November 24th, 2008 3:15 am

It looks like there running with a cock in there butts

C Squared on November 24th, 2008 3:17 am

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

JR (cabrillo24) on November 24th, 2008 4:13 am

lol >> laughing

vlpmonty on November 24th, 2008 4:17 am

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.

P1stons23 on November 24th, 2008 4:31 am

Yeah kinda like they do in the Nba games have the players have like there own running styles like when they made Tiki Barber Hold The Ball Funny When he started doing that in real life so he wouldn't fumble

DrLogic on November 24th, 2008 4:55 am

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

NJNETSFANFORLIFE on November 24th, 2008 5:25 am

Lulz Snow and Rain in Dallas FTW

huddy187 on November 24th, 2008 6:02 am

hmm looks the same from 09. does that guy have a towel on his pants if he did that woulb be cool

sdot on November 24th, 2008 6:08 am

NO datz NOT itz a GLITCH seen da same thing happen in live on Utube

Justin Tuck on November 24th, 2008 6:20 am

2k5 till the day I die.

kbomb1upc on November 24th, 2008 6:33 am

If you are still playing 2K5 right now I will pay you 5 dollars…

Skihawks on November 24th, 2008 6:33 am

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

Patrick Oak on November 24th, 2008 6:43 am

HMMM…..Maybe while they are working on this they can also find a way to improve ncaa 2010..they should start by cutting down the high completion rates and interceptions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KRIS on November 24th, 2008 7:43 am

this is the same bullshit!!!!! im so pissed but i love football too much and this is the only option.this is just sad. i thought monpolies were illegal.

Josh on November 24th, 2008 7:45 am

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!

Regy on November 24th, 2008 8:14 am

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!

sdot on November 24th, 2008 8:15 am

MADDEN will NEVA STEP UP accept it & move on I did

Regy on November 24th, 2008 8:16 am

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?!!!!

NICK on November 24th, 2008 8:18 am

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.

Mike on November 24th, 2008 8:22 am

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.

Boucher on November 24th, 2008 8:27 am

kinda cool at least they keep us informed

rondoman on November 24th, 2008 8:45 am

Pasta pimping crappy EA product already???

How about that NBA 2K9 Impressions???

RIJAD on November 24th, 2008 9:03 am

H0RRIBLE VIDEOS, THIS JUST MAKES ME LOOK FORWARD TO MADDEN 2011

matt on November 24th, 2008 9:19 am

i hope that they have all eguipmant right and every danm thing on the game is revamped i hat they gay *** s**t they pull every year with maybe a cuple new things annd them never funn agine after a week of playing the game

matt on November 24th, 2008 9:23 am

hey i just saw 96 and 99 maddens and they have all the stoff wee want the only rthing madden has for us every year is badd *ss graphics that are awsome but we want gameplay not graphics on the most part

Badluck13 on November 24th, 2008 10:01 am

he seems to still run to upright…. when i was a fullback i was always tought to run low when you have the ball(that goes for all backs) and when the model jukes and spins he goes low bu other than that it seems to high…or maybe thats just me.

notimpressed@go.com on November 24th, 2008 10:11 am

AM I supposed to be impressed by this?

BLACKFLAGZ10 on November 24th, 2008 11:41 am

EA WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPEN??????????

lowell on November 25th, 2008 1:08 am

so true black flags
it seems as if madden has taken more out of the game that what they have put into it
a simple things as team cleats and team colour gloves shouldn't be too hard
i wish they would put in new face masks, they have had the same ones for about three years now?
there have been no new play accessories for a long time now (those dumb coloured visors dont' count)
it would be awsome if they had half time shows and player interviews

CAN"T WAIT TILL 2K CAN START MAKING FOOTBALL GAMES

Tank on November 25th, 2008 1:44 am

fuck the running ea should work on better catching and receiver phsyics becuz how you have 20 year and you cant get a receiver to come back and fight for the ball againist jetpacking db's

Tim on November 25th, 2008 1:48 am

hooked on phonics…works for me.

Nutzilla13 on November 25th, 2008 2:23 am

There really isn't much to look at here. The animation looks the same. Is there a link to a higher quality video we can watch?

Moye2010 on November 25th, 2008 2:29 am

hahaha i want 5 dollars right now….i wet an bought 2k5 for a dollar cuz its b/c lol

Moye2010 on November 25th, 2008 2:30 am

went*

sdot on November 25th, 2008 3:02 am

I want 2K5 just CAN'T find dat sh…

rdelizo35 on November 25th, 2008 4:03 am

Looking at the animations, I honestly can't see any difference from Madden '09. I think that Madden 2010 is a pivotal game for EA Sports next year because there's so many people out there that are praying that the game delivers in areas that were problematic or poor with this year's game.

The two areas that I see that need major improvement are presentation and Dynasty mode. Little details that give the game more atmosphere are missing. This is problematic since attention to detail and getting the presentation side of things spot on is one of those things that help keep gamers playing long after a game is released.

The other thing is Dynasty mode. It just feels like it's in need of a major overhaul. There are many people who have stated that the mode itself is lacking some key things and that it just feels stale. Madden 2010 really needs to address this area as many Maddenities look to Dynasty mode as the main mode that they play.

Acreyman on November 25th, 2008 4:04 am

Uhh…dont pay attention to the jukes so much as you do the actual running. It does look smoother and maybe that was the point. I know that sometimes in Madden the running looks choppy. the jukes still look funny but at least the running looks smoother.

Barrios on November 25th, 2008 4:46 am

The improvements i want to see:
- referees on the field throwing flags
-3 types of uniforms for each team
-more realistic pass blocking from the o-line (step back and stand tall and make a pocket for the quarterback)
-quick releases of the throws from the quarterbacks (depends on the quarterbacks though)
-receivers fight for the ball (in the air too)
-MORE IMPROVED SIDELINES

Barrios on November 25th, 2008 4:46 am

-more penalties such as: personal foul, illegal snaps, offensive pass interference
-different referees (NOT THE SAME OLD MAN PLZ)
-referees call the penalties and the player's numbers (ex. "Encroachment, defense, on number 90")
-more realistic crowds (ex. whistles, booing, flags, etc.)
-MORE GANG TACKLES (5 ppl duckpile on a ball carrier)
-add more abilities for quarterbacks. not just throw power and accuracy (ex. Throw Release)
-MORE PLAYS (ex. wildcat formations, receiver run, fk receiver sweep pass, safety delay blitz, quick pass, bubble screen, HB toss pass, HB toss fk FB trap)
- MORE REALISTIC GOAL LINE SITUATION (QB sneak and FB dive are very cheap plays. Try not to make it cheap EA)
-BETTER ROSTER UPDATES
- Helmets come off after big hits
- smarter CPU-
- MORE REALISTIC INJURIES (WOW MADDEN 09 SHOWED ME THAT AFTER PLAYERS GET INJURED, THEY DONT GET ANY HELP FROM ANYONE. THEY JUST GET UP BY THEMSELVES)

Barrios on November 25th, 2008 4:47 am

-cheerleaders and mascots
-probowlers wear their own team's helmets

Barrios on November 25th, 2008 4:49 am

-i dont want Cris Collinsworth in Madden 2010. he's a bitch

THATS ALL

Emeka on November 25th, 2008 4:52 am

If there are no refs on the field I am going to snap! We got field goal nets, please for the love of Christ put refs on the field

Zack on November 25th, 2008 5:59 am

BlackFlagz is a lamer. What is up with his ridiculous gibirish?

Justin Tuck. on November 25th, 2008 6:31 am

yeah he is so is that old hag he commentes with. bring back Madden and michaels with new lines.

Hines Ward on November 25th, 2008 6:36 am

madden 09 is no better than nfl 2k5. thats pathetic.

Real Madrid on November 25th, 2008 6:41 am

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.

ANT_P1989 on November 25th, 2008 7:21 am

All Pro Football 2K8 is still WAY better than ANY Madden….

rellz on November 25th, 2008 7:47 am

I dont see a difference

judysee on November 25th, 2008 9:18 am

Great. You can enjoy this.I know the first and largest dating site for Cougars and Young Men … Sugar Mommy Match.C o m … where cougars and young men seeking love! That's cool!

sdot on November 25th, 2008 10:08 am

AIN'T NO DIFF 2 see itz ALL in ur mind

dey AIN'T change / improve NOTHIN

Redskins on November 25th, 2008 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.

TrojanMan on November 25th, 2008 12:47 pm

It looks the same to me…

Meggg on November 26th, 2008 4:53 am

WTF they better have Refs on the field or i'm gonna lose it

BLACKFLAGZ10 on November 26th, 2008 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!

james on November 26th, 2008 8:08 am

wow… the hypes starting already, i feel bad for the ones who get excited over this

james on November 26th, 2008 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

Moye2010 on November 26th, 2008 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.

ThreatTV.Net on November 27th, 2008 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.

mannyxlfx on November 27th, 2008 9:22 am

They need to work on shit like the strength factor
and weight to

cody on November 28th, 2008 7:08 am

u need to make the shoulder pads bounce a lil bit they are way 2 stiff

Nick on November 28th, 2008 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.

Dee on November 28th, 2008 9:53 am

they still move robotically, what the hell is wrong with these people? take some tips from 2k and make it better!

Josh on November 28th, 2008 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.

jack on November 29th, 2008 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.

ReformedMaddenFan on November 29th, 2008 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…

Cant stand madden on December 2nd, 2008 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.

Jokeer on December 3rd, 2008 8:23 am

BS indeed

Jokeer on December 3rd, 2008 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

Stockmaniac on December 3rd, 2008 10:39 am

> 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)

Sam on December 3rd, 2008 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

Jokeer on December 4th, 2008 4:41 am

reginald austin on December 6th, 2008 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…

reginald austin on December 6th, 2008 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…

Bilboe baggins on December 8th, 2008 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.

Kenson on December 8th, 2008 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.

riggins on January 3rd, 2009 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

Jason on January 8th, 2009 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!!!!!

phillyEagles on January 16th, 2009 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.

ThreatTVDotNet on February 8th, 2009 1:25 pm

This my friend's is what's really happening. . .

for those sick of the bullshit:
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=DF99FD10B...

zack on February 8th, 2009 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.

zack on February 8th, 2009 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

loyshon on April 23rd, 2009 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.

Garrett on April 28th, 2009 3:42 pm

u ain't lying i still play nfl 2k5 the best football game ever sucks ea extend their contract wit the NFL

Garret on April 28th, 2009 3:44 pm

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.
