Ian & Co. are starting to click. I'm really liking what I am seeing right now. They still have a good amount of time to tweak and tune to make it even better.

Thank you LBzrule, Kane and all of the community leaders (and active Madden forum members :wink. Your efforts, combined with EA's new outlook and attitude is really making this game something to look forward to.

Man I'm really pumped now!! Damn I wish we still had The Bus. Lol

Did they give a rating for Frank "the tank" Summers? His trucking and break tackle should be pretty high.

Re: Madden 10 Vids @ IGN.com

To be honest with you Ed Reed was really the only Safety I noticed doing this. He's nasty as hell in this game and I love the way they had him playing in the CD build. He picked off one of Tavares Jackson's intermediate passes the exact same way he anticipated and jumped the Pennington pass in the wild card play off game, the 2nd INT where he just bolted like a jet from deep and came up and picked it off. He had one of those moments. I was like ohhhhhhhhh sh*t check this out and called a few devs over and told them, it was pretty LOL. He flies down on the run as well too. So from the CD build, I was really digging the stretched ratings.

This is music to my ears. I play sports games from a defensive point of view. It sounds like defensive players are getting the much deserved respect that they have long needed. You do not attack Ed Reed's side of the field consistently and get away with it, just like you do not leave R. Moss single covered.

Keep up the outstanding work.

I didn't get a chance to play with Freeney. But in our two player games Kane used Quinten Groves of the Jags and he was bringing some good pressure. It wasn't cheap he actually just beat the blocker got around him and got in. As for "chipping" I don't think it'll make it this year.

Man I don't remember this at all, I just remember the offensive side of that game........... Something about Greg Jones and MJD.

Really though I dont remember which lineman I used in that game, typically in Madden Ill use a linebacker or devensive end to rush sometimes play coverage with the linebacker. I had issues getting pressure against the chiefs though but I typically play as right end (thanks to 09) So I was using Mathis instead of Freeney. It was the last game of the night around 4 am so I was really starting to lose focus so that could of been part of the problem.

The game actually ended in a tie against the cpu 14-14. LOL.

I remember it because I threw quite a few INT's with Flacco that game because of it. I overthrew quite a few passes. I know you haven't forgotten the Reggie Nelson INT and run back LOL. That was a bad game for me, but you know what happened afterwards LOL. J-TRAIN!!!!!

Re: Madden 10 Vids @ IGN.com

I remember that game explicitly because I was getting used to having to step up in Madden. And remember you were doing that Dive from the side and you'd almost get me, but there was an animation issue there that you pointed out.

Re: Madden 10 Vids @ IGN.com

I kept thinking while watching the videos, "The Madden team gets it!"

Meaningful innovations all around. Well done. I just wish they were all included in NCAA 10. I'm not getting the same excitement watching videos about Season Showdown.

the blocking and layered animations are in NCAA 10. the 9-man gang tackling are not though.

I know right. That's why instead of sleeping on the plane ride back I started writing about the things I was most impressed with and had fun with. Pro Tak, Running game, Playing ILB/MLB, Stretched Player ratings, New QB ratings, some new offensive formations and no not the Wildcat, others should be revealed in later blogs, I can engage a blocker now and still make a play if I time things correctly ect.

Re: Madden 10 Vids @ IGN.com

How well did blitzing work LBRulez? We have seen the pocket, but not how effectively blitzing will, or won't be. That's one problem with APF2K8. Due to the speed of the game, the ability to see the entire field, it's very, very easy to pick zones apart.

If you go into Shotgun formation, it's almost impossible to get a sack against a good player.

[Valdarez]

Re: Madden 10 Vids @ IGN.com

I'm still not sold on the forced drop back for the Quarterback. I like APF2K8's take. You get to drop back yourself. If you drop back past the pocket, the Tackles don't follow you, but the DEs do and they come around for an easy sack. So it's in your best interested to know which plays are a 3, 5, and 7 step drop back.
