I mean in this situation, where he is hit and has all his momentum stopped then hit again, no he shouldn't break that linemans tackle.

I don't think so either.

That clip as a whole is just bad. He finishes a spin and is on one leg and about to be blindsided by Acker who latches on and then falls off like he's paralyzed and then Dial grabs on does the same thing. I don't even know which one is supposed to be where the tackle battle occurs. I guess since they are supposed to be only 1v1's that this could also possibly not even be an instance of tackle battle taking place.

Re: New Tackle Battle GIF

I think the name "tackle battle" is a problem. I've played football alot growing up. Never in my life has a coach said "ok, everyone get in two lines so we can tackle battle". Dude would've been fired on the spot.

At the same time, real-life football coaches also aren't in the business of selling retail products to consumers who lack intimate knowledge of the subject matter.

Catchy names such as "Tackle Battles" are meant as attention grabbers aimed at the Johnny Walmarts of the world, not at the armchair quarterbacks who are part of the core audience and are already buying Madden regardless.

Generally speaking, the concern over tackle battles is kinda mystifying to me, but what do I know.

Apparently a lot more than everyone else. Tackle battles are dumb bc they don't happen in the NFL. In real life tackle battles are called football, also people don't want buttons popping up over their players heads breaking immersion, and from this video it looks like the tackle battles are don't really care about weight or momentum.

The game still has a chance to be good if they deliver on the new code mechanics but what do I know

It sounds cheesy in theory. This first gif doesn't look great. The next thing will be seeing gameplay.. and then finally playing it ourselves.

Everyone is just going by past experiences.. When things have sounded gimmicky or cheesy in the may/june rollout stage.. most of the time they have ended up being on the lame side. (Not every time obviously.. but there are a lot of examples in maddens history. (game flow, pro tak, fight for the fumble..etc.)

I still very much trust this dev team however. Im hoping clint is right and we will like the tackle battles.

I dig that. Totally agree with a "catchy name" to sell a product. It just sounds silly. They're better off just saying we redid tackle animations such as 1on1 and so on. Hopefully its better than pro-tak.
