Good stuff. Will try and think up some ideas for this. I'm sure this will be to 10 pages by the end of the game.

Edit: If the QB cannot see the DE coming from his blindside he shouldn't be getting rid of the ball off his backfoot (Robo QB).

This is great news!!! There's nothing worse than having a DB leap straight up into the air and knock the ball down without even looking.

I wish we could see an example of an DB or WR actually tracking the ball in order to provide some serious feedback. I know you guys will have that soon for us, can't wait to see it.

I know lots of people have complained for this head tracking thing, but i don't really see it being a game changer in anyway shape or form. If the DB sees the ball or not, his A.I. will react to it the same way right?

No. That's what part of the technology is to prevent I believe. Most of it sounds visual to me as well, but I believe it's also suppose to prevent defensive backs from doing stuff like this. But it's also suppose to give them the ability to look back at the ball when they're in step with the receiver.

Sounds cool but IMO this game needs a completely new engine for me to buy it again. I get it ever year and within a month im bored because I feel like i've done this all before.

This will be great if it works well. I second that it should be implemented for the OL, and for RB's in the backfield and picking up blocks

Re: The first official feature for Madden NFL 10!

This is all well and good, but does this also mean that the DB won't float 100 mph towards the ball and pick it off unrealistically. I have made plenty of throws in Madden that should be completed by a mile, but a linebacker who has his back to the ball will do a 180 and slide towards the ball.

Emotion:

Cocky: After a guy makes a good play he shakes his head grinning a lot or either moving his mouth to say "not on me," "he too slow," or some kind of trash talk.

May sound silly...

How about Field Goal Holders?

Re: The first official feature for Madden NFL 10!

A couple of scenarios when I would like to see this being used.

- Defenders in ZONE coverage, identifying reads/players in their area. So not just man coverage, but also zone coverage.

- OL as they identify who to block.

- Similarly, lead blockers as they identify who to block.

- Perhaps referees as they watch the play unfold?

A couple of emotions to add:

- Angry. You see this all the time in football. The sort of angry/hostile look that players get -- particularly defensive players after a big hit.

- Happy. I'm thinking primarily for offensive players (mainly wide receivers) after/during a big play. So you would see players smiling/grinning.

I know! i read the article and only 3 ppl had posted i thought i would be 4th or 5th to post not on the damn 3rd page

[ChicagoSparty]

I've read the article 2 times and don't understand how this is going to be used. Will we have the same animations but just with the defender's head turned? If so, color me underwhelmed. If not, then great, but I'd like to read why.

Simple Question that you should be able to answer right now: Will the PS3 version be 1080p this year? We have been cheated for 3 straight years.

Simple Answer: Yes or No?
