        Something tells me we won't be hearing any thing about Pockets and OL/DL interaction until the end....Either people will be bursting with joy that day or this place burn and fade into the abyss........praying for the former

            Ian for president! Seriously every week keeps getting better and better. That QB drop back animation looks lightyears better than any previous Madden! I'm so excited for the speed differential slider addition.

            Great job guys!

                Great read and very interesting. I'm gonna make use of the game speed slider that's for sure lol.

                Woot! No more Moon Ball trajectory

                Really looking forward on next weeks blog. The mention of momentum has be intrigued.

                  I've been a lover and a ***** of madden for the past 5 years, but to see the improvements you guys are making in the game makes me extremely happy.

                  I like the fact that you guys are going back to the base of the game and fixing the main cause of many problems in previous Madden games.

                  Thank you for the dedication and thank you for providing us with updates.

                  I hope my 59.99 + tax is well spent come August.

                    they are going to comment on momentum in the next blog - I hope size and weight will factor in on the momentum equations - I have a guess they will considering the attention to detail they are displaying.

                      To break them down point by point:

                      • Removal of arbitrary animation speed alterations; solve bugs the 'right' way
                      • All new QB drop animations

                      I never realised how 'funky' the old animations were until I just saw them side by side with the new (and much more realistic) ones. Good job getting these done. All the little things really add up.

                      • Lowered pass speeds globally, fixed "moon ball" trajectory

                      These are very good, particularly the second one as now just tapping a button to touch-pass the ball won't send it so high it comes back with snow on it!

                      However, I have a slight concern that slower passes without lowering the reaction time of DBs and LBs may lead to more interceptions but I'm sure you've done something with that but can't tell us yet.

                      • Lowered global game speed + added game speed slider
                      • New slider for "speed difference" to squish or expand the range of speeds among all players; used the ratings ranges for player speeds

                      Sliders are so important and putting these two in is huge for me. I've long said (not just about Madden): I bought the game, let me play it how I want to play it. Sliders have such a huge impact on this and the more the merrier (as evidenced in MLB The Show).

                      I also appreciate the transparency of showing the numbers breakdown, rather than making us all guess what the difference between various levels is.


                      All in all, great job on both implementing these things and letting us know about them.

                        I can see the QB move his legs during his drop back now lol good stuff. I like the scale setup of how players will run with set speed but I have a question.

                        Did you do these test 40 yard runs with the same accerlation? Reason being is if you had a player with 0 acc. and 99 speed running a 4.21 that would be very unreal. That being said if you have player A with 99 speed but 80 acc he should not be able to keep up with player B who has 94 speed and 99 acc.(maybe after 10-15 yards player A starts to catch back up) I wouldnt know what the times would be but you get the picture right?

                        An answer would be greatly appreciated.

                            Great post, loving the idea of slowing down the game a bit. I'm pumped for Madden year. I actually find myself thinking about it when i'm at work with nothing to do

                              I would like to know 2 things - what is the 'default' difficulty and also what are the differences between difficulty levels?
