I decided to pop Madden 09 in, due to boredom... And completely forgot 1 gameplay aspect that was incredibly annoying... The stiff arm!
What happened to a good ol' fashioned stiff arm? Every time a stiff arm actually works in this, I get this animation where the ballcarrier tosses the defender like a rag doll.
With all the work Ian has been putting into this game, I'm sure he's aware of this. Which means it will be addressed!
