What does "this is a Madden only feature" mean?

It won't be in NCAA, I presume.

All this sounds real good.

Awesome!! Love everything you guys have done. Finally shadowing is back and more realistic route running and hopefully your saying you fixed man coverage as well. Good to see more use of PA to look more realistic. Everything is great, keep it up and don't disappoint us.

Excellent! These "minor" announcements have been quite major.

Just a few questions.

-Any Cover 2 specific chuch animations where the CB is trying to force the WR inside?
-Can pass interferance be called during a chuck?
-Will motion have an effect on the DB's ability to chuck?
-Is there a shading feature that allows the CBs to line up inside, straight up & outside of the WR? And will this effect chucking?

On 2nd look, why does the WR running the out route on Madden 09 look alot better than the WR running the out route on Madden 10?

That makes sense. Bah.

Wow... color me impressed with everything you guys have shown us so far. I am a bit disapointed NCAA isn't getting some of this.

Looking forward to seeing what else you guys have in store for us.

theyre doing the same thing but the 09 one is doing it way faster. and the 09 one just plants and cuts on the route, the other one is breaking down and then cutting

WOW!!! That is another fantastic blog! I am so excited for Madden 2010 and its 5 months away. I really like the way Ian shows these little videos so we can see it for ourself what it will look like in the game. Also, it really sounds like they are going all out with the acceleration and momentum which is something I was praying they would do. That in and of itself will make this game play 1000000X better.

Thanks for the info Ian and keep up the great work. I am really looking forward to reading the community reaction to this blog.

The guy is Madden 09 is running a much better out route however. He rolls off his outside foot, he has alot less steps, and he has far less turning signals. He is running a pretty good out route if besides the fact that he needs to sell the vertical more and he actually has to follow the laws of physics.

The guy in 10 follows the law of physics but he runs a very sloppy route.

In the man coverage video- the part that says "defender trailing behind" is showing what happens only when the defender is over matched and gets beat, right ? Because if that's what happens every single time the defender doesn't jump the route, man coverage will be easily exploited once again. That WR was wide open.

yeah i was going to ask about the rating of that WR. looks like hes way too slow to make his break.

First, this looks great! Really glad to see this new tech working it's way into the game.

Second, I am also interested in the following questions that BezO poses.

Re: Latest Madden NFL 10 blog - WR/DB Interaction

Amazing stuff Ian! It just keeps on getting better and better . One thing I would like to hear about is the fade route. I think that route is long overdo, and needs to be correctly reworked. I love the jostling

Re: Latest Madden NFL 10 blog - WR/DB Interaction

This is the 6th blog in MARCH people. Unbelievable what Ian and his team are putting together this year!!

How do you mean?

Do you mean the WR in 09 looks a better player as he's quicker into the cut or do you mean that the animations are better in 09 than 10?

***EDIT*** sorry, just seen your explanation.

Looks fabulous BTW. Much more realistic momentum and as for the jostling and procedural awareness. Fantastic.

Can't wait to see how it plays in conjunction with the new QB ratings.

Elite QB/WR tandems should really stand out this year, as should shutdown corners.
