Post-E3 pass rush update

[NYGmen56]

Thanks for the updates on the Dline vs Oline, much appreciated. I'm glad you guys are focusing on it..

But there is one other thing. Is it possible to give us an update on the WR vs CB interaction or jostling as well?? It was concerning watching the E3 vids and not seeing any interaction or jostling between WR & CB's.. This is a key element which is much needed in madden 2010..

Gurantee you still buy the game..

Anyway Ian, great job fixing some of the minor problems you guys saw at E3. If you guys are fixing things in such a relatively small time frame i can only imagine the things you can tweak and fix between now and August.

Bravo.

Oh now that's helpful. What exactly do you expect to accomplish with this post?

Look, making a game is complicated. If it was that easy, we'd all be doing it.

Looking forward to this

The first play gashed them for 13 yards with a keeper, the 2nd play Tuck disengaged very early and ran me down for a 7 yard loss before I could even throw it. The 3rd play I got 3 yards scrambling before a LB got me. Every subsequent play after that ended up as a sack or at max a 4 yard gain. Summary: the DL were definitely disengaging as quickly as they could (before I broke the edge of the tackle usually), but with a guy that has big-time speed like Vince the DL had some trouble catching me if I chose to keep it and run (as they would in real life). However, if I tried to set up and pass I was dead every time. What was great though - the adaptive AI kicked on bigtime within that first drive, and the CPU all of a sudden set up all kinds of crazy spies and corner blitzes coming at me so I was basically screwed trying that same tactic. I must say...it was a VERY COOL feeling to get shut down like that. Not often you can be happy as you're offense is failing...and that's exactly what was happening.

Thank you Ian. Have a good night.

Ian, regardless of how the final product ends up (I think it's going to be great), you've got the biggest *** "E" for effort we've witnessed around here, sir!!!!

Daaaaaaaaayum!

I think the most encouraging part of that is seeing that the Pass Rush slider is working very effectively. Hopefully the tuning finds its way into the franchise games as well and doesn't come upon some random glitch that keeps it to practice and exhibition. Good work!
