Pancakes might be fixed?

I see the Madden crew claims to have fixed the stat tracking for pancake blocks. Let's hope they shared their work with the NCAA crew. Also, other than pancakes, does anybody know in what ways OLs earn helmet stickers?

I noticed that in the Madden interview, too. Hopefully they won't pull the old 'Madden this year, NCAA next year' routine on us with it, though. It's frustrating never having your offensive linemen competing for awards because the game doesn't track pancakes properly.

Other than pancakes, I don't know what an offensive lineman would get a pride sticker for, except maybe for recovering a fumble.

There's got to eb some other stuff b/c I've got some linemen with 8-9 stuckers, but only 3-4 pancakes and no fumble recs. I don't know that it's based off totakl rushing yardage either since someof my backups have more stickers than a few of my starters.

Yeah i wish it counted them correctly...i might even make myself a off line man...

It could be that they don't seem to make any sense because of the game not tracking pancakes correctly. If they are fixed in NCAA 2004, I think it shouldn't be too hard to figure out exactly how the pride stickers are awarded for offensive linemen.

Exactly how did EA fix pancakes? I never really found a real answer, other than "[Pancakes] have been fixed" from the Madden interview.

It sounded to me as though they had fixed the stat tracking. I finally started to get more pancakes a few months ago when I started running a LOT of counter plays, but they usually seem to be with the OLs on the side away from where I run. I would've expected them from the pulling guard.
