Two things in this game were overdone due to 2k4

[Boom]

I'm not saying speed burst is overdone. The original post states that yard after the first hit were very rare (or overdone as in not being able to get any). I was just stating that it's possible and the way I do it is tapping A quickly. If that's offensive maximum tackle then cool, fair enough.

I definitely wasn't stating that the speed-burst was overdone though.

About the Yards After Contact (YAC)...

I think it's so much better this year. It rewards you for well timed jukes, spins, charges, and stiff arms. Last year, you didn't even have to put on a move with some backs and you would still end up trucking the defender or spinning off of him. This year, a well timed move will usually get you a couple extra yards falling forward or dragging the tackler, and on occasion you'll totally break free. Backs like LT, Ricky, and Jamal Lewis are still more likely to break free than others, but that's the way it should be. Those guys are good.

I'd much rather it play this way then it was last year.
