The First Official Feature For Madden NFL 10!

May sound silly...

How about Field Goal Holders?

A couple of scenarios when I would like to see this being used.

- Defenders in ZONE coverage, identifying reads/players in their area. So not just man coverage, but also zone coverage.

- OL as they identify who to block.

- Similarly, lead blockers as they identify who to block.

- Perhaps referees as they watch the play unfold?

A couple of emotions to add:

- Angry. You see this all the time in football. The sort of angry/hostile look that players get -- particularly defensive players after a big hit.

- Happy. I'm thinking primarily for offensive players (mainly wide receivers) after/during a big play. So you would see players smiling/grinning.

I've read the article 2 times and don't understand how this is going to be used. Will we have the same animations but just with the defender's head turned? If so, color me underwhelmed. If not, then great, but I'd like to read why.

Simple Question that you should be able to answer right now: Will the PS3 version be 1080p this year? We have been cheated for 3 straight years.

Simple Answer: Yes or No?

Making Awareness more integrated is awesome! I love this

Can this be implemented for blockers on punt and kick off returns (especially punt returns). Special teams blockers never seem to have a clue what's going on.

Or course linebackers, safeties, and cornerbacks have obvious need to implement this.

Defense needs to be improved, especially for the user's computer controlled players (when the user isn't controlling them). So many times have I seen a pass go right over a defender, who is looking toward the QB, that doesn't react to the play until AFTER the catch is made.

I believe this is exactly what Ian is trying to say. With this new tech, we won't see that stuff anymore.
