Madden NFL 10 Blog: A Deeper Look Into Pass Blocking

[TreyIM2]

Pantherbeast - I gotcha. Don't think your a bad guy for that post, at all. Just wasn't sure if u were aware of Ian's info rationing, and, actually, I believe the whole cat will be let out of the bag at E3, for the most part. Can't wait for E3, as well the game's actual release.

U had a legit comment and I have, too, felt the same. Hopefully, Ian and co. will rid us of that unrealistic movement.

Thanks. I did forget the mention that I think the Pro-Tak technology in regards to OL/DL looks magnificent.

yea but in real life when we have osi back ur goin to be sacked 10+.

Very nice. I'm liking what I see of pro-tak for OL/DL. Now if we can get some double teams and if you could just do us a favor and show us Haynesworth collapsing the pocket from the inside or spoiling a running play by clogging the lanes because of the lack of a double team... I think blocking would be solved from a tools standpoint, and then it's just a matter of tuning and logic.

i agree 150% that looked awful they need to open up the hips and shoulders when they scramble


on the bright side it gave me a chuckle watching him do those fast baby steps

damn people are going to go ballistic on Ian if there arent nay double teams when he shows the run blocking, he better choose carefully lol

That's definitely something I've personally been working on tuning based on you guys' feedback from community day. We still have to get the pocket forming faster and get the initial moves more natural...but it's definitely coming along.

I just looked at Flacco again and I agree. That looked AWFUL

To the point that its funny. There is no way its going to be left like that in the final game I think.
