I believe Offensive Pass Interference.

"Irvin also helped to change the game. A big and strong receiver, he would often create space between himself and defenders by pushing off on them. Eventually, the NFL adjusted the rules, making this tactic illegal under offensive pass interference. It is often referred to as "The Michael Irvin Rule"."

Just curious to why you have to state when you "RENT" every time you post? Are you afraid to let someone who is against Madden to know you are playing the game?

No. I just like to make it clear that I don't BUY madden and by RENTING it I'm not dishing anything out of my pocket personally since my gamefly is free.

The reason being. After YEARS of BS I don't feel the title is worth my hard earned money anymore.

Clear enough for ya now?

No, because its normally irrelevant to the topic at hand. Its unnecessary.

Irvin even said in the video he was not that fast by stating that other DBs like Darrell Green had to keep up with his pace (4.5). How on earth does that warrant a 93 SPD? I would have given Irvin a SPD rating around 85 at best. However, (and even Irvin alluded to this) his ACC and AGI ratings would be very good in the low 90s. His CIT and SPC ratings as well as his REL and RTE would be very high though, making up for his average speed for a WR. Why can't the folks at EA realize this and start rating players accordingly instead of dismissing actual data and over-inflating attributes?

There is a very simple answer to your question.

Unfortunately the only rating that really matters in Madden is Speed. All the other ratings dont matter and are not implemented correclty.

It they were than Madden would have been on the right track years ago. How many times do we scout for a player and mainly check his speed over everything else. Till madden gets this right Madden will not be authentic.

Lets see how it works this year.

OUCH lol.

The rule that was change is how WR can push off the defender during pass coverage.

Irving was very aggressive with this move.
