Madden NFL 10 Blog: Letting the "Wildcat" Loose

Re: Monday blog is up - letting loose the Wildcat

So if this potential cheeze is in the game, explain to me why we can't have a play editor.

Better than that, if you're going to write cheeze into the standard playbook, WHY CAN'T WE HAVE CUSTOM PLAYS ONLINE?

I love the lack of high knee's here, thats what I saw on community day.


I hate the diving animation into the end zone though, players just don't get that high in a one on one situation when going for the pylon.

First, why does the author call the RB lined up at the flanker position a slot receiver? A slot receiver is always lined up inside of a wider receiver, in the "slot," hence the name.

Secondly, why shouldn't all teams have this play series available? A good example would be the Redskins. Just because they didn't use it last year doesn't mean they might not line up Randle El at the fullback position (qb in the old single wing) and use Portis as the weak flanker. I really wish this play series would be available for all teams.

The Fasano football punch celebration needs to be in the game. (Just for him, though.)

The referees add so much to the atmosphere. It's great to have them back. It's going to be tough to fully appreciate the ref-less NCAA 10.

Lokks like alot of effort was put into this, looks good so far.

I am wondering what #88 is doing with the pull block during the PA Jet Sweep. He should've kept leading for the runner, instead he turned around and tried to block someone behind the play. Doesn't make ANY sense, and this was a problem in Madden 09.

Yeah, that decision by #88 to try and block the defender who was behind the play was ghastly. I hope they can tune those kinds of gaffs out of the game in the next month or two.

Even though the Cowboys didn't run a wildcat play at all last year, Jerry Jones and the coaching staff has emphasized this offseason that it will be installed for this upcoming season. Hopefully Cowboys fans won't have to change playbooks just to use the wildcat

95% of the time you see them lay out and reach the ball inside the pylon though, in madden everytime its that animation and you cant hit ot push them in mid air when that animation plays which is terrible.

Re: Monday blog is up - letting loose the Wildcat

Was that a real double team block though? At first look I thought the blocker was just in position to block incase he escaped the first blocker. Might have to watch that video again.

this is what Andy was getting at
