Thumbs up Madden 09: Tackling Engine Blog & Video

EA Sports have updated their Madden NFL 09 blog with tackling engine details and a video clip.

Quote:
"One of our primary pet-peeves in Madden NFL has been in the responsiveness of tackling. We wanted to feel like as a ballcarrier or defender you are always in more control. The feeling of delay before a tackle started really took away from responsiveness. Also the "suction" you get when being pulled into tackles, well, sucks. We found that the cause of the delay was searching through our 300 and some odd tackles for one that "matched" the current scenario as close as we can, and while this may only take 1/10th to 1/4th of second, I found that delay un-acceptable. So we invented a whole new way to tackle this year."

Re: New Blog And Video (Tackling Engine)

Sign me up. It sounds great how we can manually break tackles. Why couldn't they put this in NCAA as well!?!?!? I'm still not feeling the WWE style tackles(shoulder charges, clothes lines ect....), but the wrap tackles look good. 1 thing is for sure, the graphics are SICKKKKKKKKKK this year. Wow.

Re: New Blog And Video (Tackling Engine)

my hats off to EA for hiring this guy and at least making the efforts to upgrade their engine to give us the the things weve been asking for. even though madden and ncaa 08 still werent where i wanted them to be, i must admit EA is realy starting to focus their efforts on the things weve been asking them to. im actually looking forward to trying maddan and NCAA this year

by the way ive been one of EA's bigest critics the last few years
