You are not alone

damit it not only gang tackling

this nex-gen engine was supposed to have 3+4 man tackling.
and pile-ups

what happened to pile ups.

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE REVOLUTIONARY next gen add on
1.pile ups
2.3+4 even 5 man tackling.
3.players dragging players by uniform

LOL.... I agree next gen should be about goin beyond expectations, but it may the the NEXT GEN. (PS4) before EA adds true 2 man tackles and solves the running into teammates problem LOL.
c'mon man give em a break one thing at time. lol...too funny. at leat we got next gen lighting effects

I'd like to hear how all that works in both games. That's why I believe it's probably impossible for EA to ever have gang tackling with this engine. That's my guess anyway.

You definatly arent the only one. The more I play EA's games especially due to this exclusive bs, the more I realize how scripted they are. The mario running, the suction blocking, it just feels like there's no control. Its like when I play defense I pray the random animation that comes up is 1 that forces the ball carrier backwards instead of players reacting realistically in tha situation. Its terrible a current gen games presentation, physics and interaction are better than a game on a system about 5-6 times more powerful,lol.

Yea the lighting is really nice in Madden 07 from what Ive seen. Graphically EA finally stepped it up. Its just like everything else is still in tha current gen and maybe a previous generation.

Add trips/loss of balance to that one, along with shoulder hits (hits that separate both the ball carrier and the tackler, where the tackler stays up).

Seeing this has turned into the "What's wrong with Madden thread", I downloaded some videos just to check things out and I was wondering what was up with the announcing? So they have a radio voice say a sentence or two, and then the stadium loud speaker gives the yardage and first down announcement? Look, I've been in the car on some Sundays and radio broadcasts are a lot more entertaining than that.

Is this all there is to their play by play or am I missing something? (Not that Madden saying the same lines year after year was any better, but man.)

It would'nt be so impossible if they would just script a few gang tackling animation in the game just to shut us up. I dont care if it is'nt real physics, the more animations the better. Nobody likes seeing the same number of animations each and every game. If they mixed it up a bit, Madden would be a much more better game IMO.
