| Dual Stick Control - video commentary |
| In this video, lead gameplay designer Ian Cummings describes the new "dual stick control" feature of Madden NFL 11 and explains how it will impact overall gameplay control. |
This could have a huge impact on gameplay, if that doesn't sound too excessively dramatic. Being able to take greater control of a player in the game when in possession of the ball is a major improvement over what we have now. I love the whole balance thing and the twisting of the player torso actually looks very impressive from a purely visual standpoint. I want to see a player lean in a different direction, sometimes lose balance and fall, sometimes stay on his feet - it's realistic. Ian also makes reference to the FIFA and NHL franchises who have nailed down gameplay like few other videogame franchises in recent years. The more that can be borrowed from EA Vancouver to better the Madden franchise, the better.
Anyone wish we could get a more realistic 3-d looking grass, however ? |
