Back to spins...check these out from today:

Matches up with the post above that you can still direct the spin move at low speed (not sprinting). Pretty sick move by Taylor.

And the higher speed one:

This has to do with running abilities so I don't think it's off topic:

Ian, something that needs to be changed is the ability to hit the right thumbstick up and truck for an extra 4 yards in the middle of the tackle. 98% of the time the RB loses all momentum and then magically just is able to plow through. The reason this is so unbalanced is that there is no corresponding ability for the defense, they are simply at the mercy of it.

See, this is good stuff. I like the jukes and the fact that hopefully its not like a stiff animation where you have no control. I have actuall becaome reggie bushish in NCAA with their juking mechanism. Spins are nice. They seem way tighter and less like a cheap juke manever that it currently is. I do want to know something, one thing that would be sweet, do you have like an animation for a real quick change of direction juke. Reggis bush is so famous and I know you can pull out jaquin inglesias when he played TT and broke down the S's in midefiled with a BAAAAAAAD to the bone juke. Like hey I am here one going this way and then BAAAM I am going this way. Look at a bunch fo bush highlights fo further guidence. Great update though as this looks like a gem

I really enjoy reading these types of threads. It looks great IMO! As a few have mentioned, much more like 2k5 and that is a very good thing.

Is there a way to make some button or trigger presses to simulate trying to get the extra yards or fight out of a tackle? The opposite would be for the defender to do the same. It makes you feel like you broke the tackle or made the tackle.

Thanks Blitz

Ian, if you don't mind me asking but will you guys add specific running animations? Like the way Reggie does, the way Turner does?

I hope you guys do. The animations look great. One thing I hope you guys work on improving is blocking animations, and the way they play. Blockers in special teams should know who needs to blocked and the way to open up holes.

thanks again ian for the hardwork and trying your best to make the best madden possible.

just of couple of things i was wondering

1. the running animation looks good along with the juke, but i think would look great if there was different variation of those juke. choppier steps for the bigger guys. ex: instead of juking a guy completely with those juke animation, let the defender bounce of the ball carrier while they are juking. could be done maybe by small stiff arm animation(trigger automatically) where the arm is not fully extended .



2. i would also like to see more realistic step back move with different variations. ex. like peter warrick (back in the days)

could find a peter warrick video. but this one is good, i know it's a 12 year old kid but it had lots of nice step back jukes


3. i think it would make the running game more realistic if there was different running animation where you see runningbacks try to fit through running lanes (holes), and have some off balace animation while they are doing so.

4. the running game would also look more realistic with more arm movements. meaning where running backs put their arms up to swipe arm tackles, move their arms when their off balance, use to arms to direct offensive lineman by pointing or pushing them on their back.

5. last but not least, it would be cool if there was a way for us to change or assign different animation to the runningbacks that we want. kinda like nba 2k9 with their sig style

Not to be the iffy pants here, but i don't see what any of you are talking about. It looks just like the regular Madden animations to me, nothing special.

Wow, that kid in the video is sick! Oh man, even with me playin college ball I would nt want to see him in the open field! J/K no biut seriuosly its as if in florida, its an added bonus feature when your born. You come out into the world and boom, your the jukemaster of the unknown world. Only if your form florida tough.
