Patch the Wildcat (save Pat White)

[MrOctober430]

They should have used the Wildcat from the NCAA. Where you have the option to pass, hand-off or run.

The Wildcat in Madden sucks. It's only a straight run.

I just don't buy this "defences are too good" argument for why NFL teams don't run the option. The reason NFL teams don't run the option is because they don't want their QBs getting killed. Someone like Tebow may change that, since he seems tougher than most QBs. Vick and White are backups, so coaches may be a little less worried about them getting hurt. I'm not saying the NFL will go back to the option, but there may well be a long lasting inclusion of Wildcat / Spread option plays in next few years. Also, the only teams that really stopped the wildcat were Baltimore and Pittsburgh,two of the best defences in the league.

I doubt tebow would last long that way,the NFL defenses are far bigger,faster,stronger,hit harder and overall more talented than anything hes ever seen.

Is it not possible to "cheese proof" the wildcat for online only? it's annoying.

LMAO. I'm assuming this is a joke.. if not, i'll fling this Madden CD out the window

Maybe so, but people say that about every college star. There's no way of knowing until this time next year.

Haha well said... I want this thread to be seen when they're looking for stuff to patch so I'm going to try and keep it near the front.

I agree. I remember running the Wildcat on NCAA 09' and you definitely could do more than just run. I wanted to throw Vick into the wildcat while I was playing offline and they wouldn't even let me sub him in unless I made him a WR (I even tried putting him as the backup QB). I ended up just subbing him in as the shotgun quarterback. I think that they need to patch the wildcat because Desean Jackson will not run that formation anymore for Eagles, and I could have sworn that Michael Robinson from the 49ers used to be a quarterback at Penn State so what's stopping him from throwing the ball now.
