4 man gang tackling=good but not game killer

[Pared]

Was I the only person that felt the 4th man was just falling down for the sake of falling down and calling it a gang tackle? Hell, I never, EVER saw more than two people engage the ball carrier at one time.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Definitely not wrong, from what we've seen only 2 men engage and tackle the ball carrier. Nothing wrong with it, but its not a 3-4 man gang tackle like they say. The 1st tackle is usually a break tackle animation, then the next 2 ball carriers tackle the ball carrier.

I think EA just needs better motion capture for their gang tackling. The 2 defenders and ball carrier should be struggling against each other in these tackles. With these animations its like as soon as the 2nd player engages the player flies to the ground. I've only seen 1 gang tackle where this wasn't the case and that was on NCAA, so I'm sure it will be on Madden.

Everything is great with me, they just need better motion capture moves.

Yeah I saw it, that's why I don't understand how the guy could slow down the video and move the camera around yet not see that there were never four guys engaged at once.

How many times do you really see a 4 man gang tackle in the NFL anyway. It is really rare so im not worried about it too much.

Don't get me wrong, I'm totally excited about Madden on my Wii this year and it looks like they're heading in the right direction...but has anyone acknowledged the fact that this "gang tackling" they are showing is basically what the 2k series was doing three years ago?

I think it's great that they are finally incorporating it, but why does it always seem like EA is just playing the shell game with its features...like every time they move to a "next-gen" system they strip the game features down and say they can't add them because they graphics are too much, then year by year they add in the features that were always around, but they re-introduce them as some new fangled awesome thing...it's getting annoying.

yea, I've never seen a defender finish the game with 4 3/4th tackles.

You're not.

I"LL NEVER BUY MADDEN UNTIL THERE IS AN 12-MAN GANG TACKLE


.......seriously now, the blog said that it is very hard to have a 4-man gang tackle to occur, but they do happen. Personally, this gang-tackling system looks as good as 2k5s. The only thing I don't like is that it took Madden 3 years and a new gaming console to figure it out, but I do like the producer blogs and such. Shows they are listening.
