One of the new additions for Madden and NCAA this year that excites me in the new four-man slide protections. Since the offensive and defensive lines will not receive an overhaul this year, at least having something at our disposal is a plus for building protection schemes. As I sat and played NCAA 13, I discovered some good and some bad about slide protection. In the end, I think users are still left with a critical question: can you trust it?

The slide protection for me is a 50/50. Half the time it works, half the time it doesn't.

I don't want to start anything, but this is the type of stuff I'm expecting EAGC's to pick up on and discuss with the devs (producers/programmers). Why am I getting the season pass and finding this stuff? Why doesn't a developer come out and say, well that's just not how we designed the slide in our game? What is causing the Center and LG not to slide here? The developers and producers can put out a lot of fires by simply stating how they intend things to work in their game. Anyways, there is more to come

Wasn't slide protection in the older Maddens' on Xbox/PS2 days? This is what people mean when they say EA removes features just to put them back in 5 years later and call them "new".

YT video wasn't working initially, embedding is now fixed. In case anyone fretted about such things

Good points all across the board.Line play is a must do for the dev team going foward into madden and ncaa.

I believe slide protection has been on this game since 2005? I read nothing prior to release of them enhancing this feature. In fact this site criticizes the line play. I use it all the time. Its better than not using it. Lots of time counters won't work b/c the line play a.i. sucks.
