Re: Should the Sprint button be removed?

The running system would certainly need to be overhauled for this. Left stick jukes would have to go. I would put everything on the right stick, and borrow how Fifa uses the right stick. Depending on whether or not you hold the right stick a direction or flick it it should do different things. Flick it left or right would do a quick juke that keeps most of your speed, but hold it left or right and you'll do a much harder juke that will lose some speed. Flick it back and you'll do a quick hesitaiton, hold it back and you'll do a hard stop. Flick it forward and you'll do a quick hit on the guy in front of you like it does now, hold it forward and your guy will put his head down and drive his legs, usefull for getting that extra yard you really need. (Hey, while we're at it, extend this "hold vs. flick" system to the hit stick as well. A short flick if you want to pop the guy, or hold it for a wrap up tackle.)

If you want your guy to really run as fast as he can you'd just hold the stick forward (or whichever direction you want to run) and just wait for him to get there depending on his acceleration rating. THis seems to be the common misconception with removing the sprint button, some seem to think you wouldn't be able to sprint. You would, it would just kick in automatically when your guy gets to a certain speed.
This is the revolution football gaming needs. Good post!!!!

They did achieve some of the Right Stick suggestions (tap for this, hold for that) with this years Live 09-and it's great! Now, do it for football!!! Use the sticks!
