    Rob confirms "pick up" tackles

    So shout out to footballfullback for the nice question over on the backbreaker forums: "So what I mean is if during a wrap up both players lose momentum and the defender is strong enough, will he like squat the carrier up into the air and slam him down?

    I just watched the nfl big hits video and saw a defender do that. do the players have enough thinking power to do that? or will they simpley think "i have to make him go down, so i'll pull him down"

    Devs should have(if they didnt) given the LBs pissed off attitudes and make them want to do GRUESOM(SP?) TACKLES! just to do damage to the carrier for the hell of it!"


    Down the page a bit ROB responded:

    "Yes I've seen tackles similar to that in the game.As with everything else, it's not animated, but tacklers have been taught to really use their weight in a tackle. You'll see stuff like that, but it's not something that's mo-capped and added as a feature "

    Wow.

      Awesome. Player awareness based on physics.

      You see that quite a bit in the recent backbreaker training camp vids. Especially during tackle attempts. Defenders will have a poor angle or be juked out and will still attempt to make the tackle or strip the ball. No animated tackle attempts. Just straight logical tackle attempts based on the angle the defender is at.

        Awesome news. Playing Red Dead Redemption has really got me excited for this game even more (if that is possible). The animations when people get shot is mindblowing you never see the same thing twice.

            Nice dig at Madden at the end. I like it.
            I wonder if players can make mistakes like slip and stuff? Probably BB2.
            Can't wait for this game.

                    I wonder that as well... for example, in the rain can a WR slip coming off the line. I love this type of stuff in APF 08...

                              Nice to know this. Can't wait for the game. Only 11 days left to go before it comes out. I wish they would put out the demo already to keep us busy for the next 11 days.
