Madden NFL 10 Preview: Five Things to Know (ESPN)

YES! finally things that were in a 4 year old game make it to next gen. I'm not jumping circles. And yes I should have every right in voicing my opinion about NOT being stoked just as much as someone has the right to voice how greatly they are stoked about these features. Good bye madden forum.

Good read, i like almost everything i read. However one concern i have is regarding the QB avoidance feature.

Phil says they mainly want people to have success. Now i really hope the QB's elusiveness rating really comes into play here because i wouldnt want a QB to be able to avoid a sack with a low elusive rating just because they want it to work.

Phil Frazier "I just think the game is really starting to feel like an NFL simulation should feel, and that's really what I'm most proud of."


Can anyone ask for anything else, WOW. This is a great read.

I hope it's very subtle and hardly ever works. Also, I like that the controller vibrates before you get hit, giving you a sense of the rush, but I'm wondering if it will be confusing. Will I look down at my QB thinking I got sacked when in reality I was just under pressure? Gotta see how this works before commenting further.

Yeah avoidance is new in Madden for this year (and before someone says it yes 2k has already done it and it works similarly). As for the rumble, there was a debate about that.

How soon does the controller start to shake when a defender approaches the QB? Is it based on your awareness rating?

Elusive QB's should get the "warning" shakes sooner then the statue QB's, IMO.
