Is protac a gimmick to make people buy madden 10

Of course it's there to make people buy Madden. Any improvement on the previous attempts is an attempt to sell the game. Not only will it help it sell, but it will vastly improve gameplay. So PRO-TAK does both, it will make the game better, an add realism, thusly it will help the game sell.

Did you see that, I used "thusly" in a sentence, Dude, I rule.

Look at the Backbreaker trailer it says "no tackle will be the same" and they are right. from what i see every little running/ tackling animation is different. all im saying is instead of putting in a new feature fix what you got to make the game better

Yes it is a gimmick, and it is working, call the gimmick police...

If you want an example of a gimmick, just look at NCAA's main feature.

Pro-tak is a huge gameplay improvement

well....Pro-Tak was added in to get more people to buy, because it added a level of "realism/simulation" to the game by addressing:

* OL/DL interaction
* WR/DB jostling
* Gang tackles (now have the ability to have 9 man gang tackles)


So yes, Pro-Tak was added to get more people to buy, but no, its not a gimmick.

But is it gimmick infingement? Sweet wrestling reference.

Get ready for people to tell you to "stop complaining" and start attacking your post, because it states the real -- something that people have a hard time accepting. People who claim the gameplay is perfect or great fail to understand or see the problems it has. (I find it funny how excited people are when talking about Pro-Tak.) I just shake my head when someone says that the gameplay in Madden 10 looks great and has realism. Nonetheless, good thread.

Would you approve that it adds to the attempt to simulate realism?
