Really? I would think the user would know where he's going. I thought it was an assist.

I guess a user could lose track of what direction he's moving the sticks.

I hate all the pop-ups icons, too, but there might not be a choice with Tackle Battle. I haven't heard you can turn that off yet. If it looks anything like the juke icon that popped up during this Juke video then it's definitely something I'd want to turn off immediately.

Well we do know that those icons come up on rookie and pro, so it stands to reason that this capture was on rookie or pro.

Also, let's think about what's happening here: they're showcasing a specific thing, in this case, a juke move. So they record until they find the perfect footage of this juke, and that's what goes up. The rest of the stuff in the clip doesn't matter at all for the purposes of this one thing that they're looking to show everyone, not just the hardest of the hardcore. It's not for us.

Yeah, that pop up is HUGE. Not making the tackle battle pop up optional would be a major oversight IMO.

I'm pretty sure the only thing you can't turn off is the tackle battle prompt. But I believe MrPrice said its just a small less than 1 second face button that appears on the screen

It's more like if you're sprinting to the right and move the stick to the left it shows that the runner will move in an arc back to the left. Or, when you juke and hold in a direction, the arrow will update to show your new pathing.

Look at how when he starts to turn the arrow indicates he's not currently going to make it to the end zone, so he has to continue to adjust. It seems like a feature that is made for people who are literally playing their first madden.

The running animation is still really weird. I think they need to incorporate a variety of stride lengths that are contextual. It seems like the stride length starting a run is the same as full speed—just slower or sped up.

This is correct. Tackle battles as of now cannot be turned off but are basically a flash of a button, about as long as the prompt is in this video, maybe a little less.
