Go play NCAA Football 11 and tell me they addressed Run Blocking in Madden NFL 11. It was one of the most broken parts of the game.

I'm to the point to where I feel the engine can't do it. I say that because how huge would it be to be able to truly highlight a solid tackling feature in your game, something that has never been done before in an NFL game? Wouldn't that be something that really grabs the eye?

So then I ask, where is it? Either they don't want it in the game or the current engine simply can't do it.

I was just going to say this. So that probably means blocking, tackling, and running won't be worked on for a while.

This kind of mindset is really bad.

It would be like a poor free throw shooter saying "i shot 100 FTs today, so i dont need to work on it anymore!"

I would love a new blocking scheme in the game. Like you can assign a offensive lineman to a specific defender. This will help when you pick up the blitz early so you can adjust the line for it.

I would like to see double team blocking! The whole concept of 3-4 defense goes out the window without it! Guys like jenkins from the Jets and Wilfork from the Pats demand double team blocking on a constant basis in real life thus disrupting an opposing teams blocking schemes and approach. In madden this just isn't possible and pretty much renders most 3-4 defenses useless!

I hope they work on the double team blocking.like the post of above me said some teams live off the 3-4 defense.

This has always boggled my mind about this video game and not a single developer implementing this by now. Over 50% of the league runs a 3-4 "D". Implement the basic concepts of how an offensive line should engage a 3-4 defense. NOW!!!!
