DEFENSE CONTROLS - DEFENSIVE PLAYMAKER For Defensive Playmaker, highlight player, then press Right Stick UP = Linebacker hook zone/Defensive back deep zone: Right stick DOWN = Blitz: Right stick DOWN twice = QB Contain Blitz: Right stick LEFT = Go into QB spy coverage: Right stick RIGHT = Play a flat zone: Right stick RIGHT twice = Play a curl zone: Right stick

miss that soo much!!! I really wish they would put that back in the 'Next-Gen'

I can not for the life of me figure out why they changed it in the first place - made no sense to change it and this gen sucks in this area!

And honestly I miss the last gen control layout for the following reasons;

Sprint on the X button made you release it to do moves that would require footwork (jukes, hurdles, spins, dives) which in the way it was laid out forced some realism and I miss the "cut moves" because this gen the left stick mini jukes suck balls!!!

The buttons were/are pressure sensitive and on PS2 you got consistent results based on how you hit the button - spin move if you tap the button you get a quick spin if you hold the button the guy would really plant his foot and make a bigger area spin.

I do not understand why the pressure sensitive stuff is not being utilized for player control within this gen. User catch is so frustrating in M10 because the way you hit the button has no affect on the animation played!

The dive, why not instead of having the situation dictate the animation- let the user control it - you tap the button the player will just quickly fall forward, press it and he will do a Marion Barber superman style dive and if you hold it the player will do the goaline over the top dive.

User catch - tap button for in stride animation, press and quickly release for short jump and press for going up to meet the ball at its highest point.

Hurdle - well you get the idea...

I miss the "cut moves" - especially the shoulder fake double moves by pressing L1, then R1 in rapid succession - sooooo coooool! and left you feeling like you actually were in control of the animation where this gen I try doing a move and the CPU seems to randomly decide what the player does and I HATE IT!!!
