Ian implemented Pro-tak in an attempt to make the lackluster madden tackling dynamics better. Is it good enough, is it polished, who knows, just stop with the childish attacks on the developers.

WTF are you talking about. I never even said a developers name. If you are talking to someone else, specify.

And as of the demo all pro-tak seems to be is technology to have more tacklers on the previous canned gangtackles instead of procedural tackling. As of the demo its not dynamic in the least bit.

Its pointless if i can not help a teammate take down a power back unless its a predetermined Pro-Tak tackle.

pro-tak is a big step forward so I don't think it should be knocked as pointless. Obviously it would be great if it applied to all tackles, but that doesn't mean its pointless.

Adding signature qb throws isn't pointless because all qbs don't have one. Adding one new facemask isn't pointless because all facemasks aren't included. Adding new tackle animations aren't pointless just because some of the animations still look weird.

Pro-tak might be disappointing (to you), but it isn't pointless.

If we keep this civil I think this could be a good thread, because I am a little curious to what I should be looking for in regards to Pro-Tak in this demo. I understand the implementation, but from a gamers stand point what actual interactions trigger this new technology? Anyone?

Gotta love how criticism of any sort now is considered "attacking the devs".

Stupid.

no clue, because a TE was dragging one of my defenders and i couldn't help him...first down...it was sickening.

I see pro-tak as an evolution of the hit stick feature. By that I mean the bigger backs/wrs/tes will obviously have the upper hand in triggering the protak animation. I'll be the first one to criticize Madden 10 next gen as I think 09 for ps2 was the last great release, but protak is definitely a step in the right direction in terms of gameplay as it's with the gameplay that I have most of my qualms.

I haven't even seen a gang-tackle in the demo yet.

I'm wondering if it's in there or not.
