Have you noticed that players are somehow magnetically drawn together?
I have noticed on several occassions, whether on d or o and someone is running with the ball a defensive player could be running towards the ball carrier then just stop an get sucked in toward the blocker.

Im guessing this has something to do with the poor collision detection in nearly all EA games. I havent played the new Madden yet but plan on getting it within the next few days but if its anything like NCAA, then thats the issue at hand. In NCAA, when looking at replays you can see the ball being deflected but the hand actually wont touch the ball, and Ive also seen what you were talking about in NCAA as well, doesnt bother me too much though.

It is actually much better this time around. At least olinemen will pull this year when the play calls for it.

Definately something they need to work on. This is perhaps one of the reason why it is hard for them to do double team blocking. The gluestick style blocking needs to change, there needs to be more fight between the players when they engage. No standing still, push struggle ect.

After 6 years of this being in the game, you actually think they'll work on it? LOL Wow, you're kidding right?
