Madden NFL 10 Hands-On Preview (Gamespot)

Gamespot has posted their hands-on preview of Madden NFL 10.

Quote:

"If Pro-Tak is a big benefit for the offensive side of the ball, the new defensive assist button will be a boon on D, especially for Madden players who aren't necessarily Madden Bowl bound. By pressing the A button on the 360 controller (X on the PS3), you can let the CPU temporarily take control of your player. He'll execute his assignment as drawn up by the play, and you can take direct control of him at any time by simply letting off the button and moving him as normal. This feature is especially useful when playing as a defensive back; not only is that position more difficult to play effectively than a lineman or linebacker, but cornerbacks often line up offscreen at first, making it that much more difficult to stay with a receiver. It's an effective way to start a defensive play, but it's worth noting that using the defensive assist won't automatically make your player a defensive juggernaut. As a DB, for example, you won't be going for an interception; it will be up to you to take control and make that play yourself."
