Madden NFL 10 Blog - Improvements to QB Position

[Pakeege10]

So as far as the QB passing, are there going to be different passing speeds. For example like a bullet pass, touch pass, pressure sensitive or something. Cause 09 was either a bullet pass or a lob pass, no english on it. Just a thought.

Mike Martz is certainly unique that way. He hates scrambling QBs. He wants a QB that goes through all his progressions, takes deep drops and gets smoked a lot.

No matter what people say about Martz, after he leaves a team the offense is usually a lot worse. NFL head coaches seem to prefer boring, conservative and crappy offenses over "out of the box" offensive thinking that actually scores points!

I'm sure this has been asked or discussed already, but since NCAA does not have these new QB ratings, how are imported players' attributes going to be calculated?

I hope the new passing ratings and QB improvements as well as OL/DL interaction can stop players from dropping back 25 steps and trying to throw.

Speaking of grasp... could we get "grasp" sacks? where the defender is able to lunge at the QB and grab his clothes to bring him down? And the time the QB has to throw the ball depends on his strength, awareness, throw power and accuracy ratings?
