That was nice the only problem is I think Lendale would have trucked the first tackler

Fantastic blog thanks Ian!

Re: Pro-Tak Blog Is Up

Great looking stuff.

Ian, the Lendale White stuff at the goalline reminded me of something I've felt Madden has needed for years.

Are there any animations where defenders 'pull' back the ballcarrier? Too many times in goalline situations, I've seen defenders tackle ballcarriers into the endzone

Protak looks like it's got some elements of it, but it's difficult to tell from those two videos.

Good point but i don't want guys beingheld up when they shouldn't be.

Ian we understand its still work in progress we're just here to make sure things don't get missed. Then you guys being as responsive a team as you are will fix it, been amazing how much you can fix when you put your mind to it

Re: Pro-Tak Blog Is Up

Ian i really liked how u can steer a defensive of lineman away from the qb. I used to hate when u had like a julius peppers who can rush the qb and cant be touched by the offensive tackle.

I also loved the brandon Jacobs vid. cause in 09 he was less powerful then in real life. now with the new pro tech. could this adapt to any running back besides power back. say ur like Ahmad bradshaw could u be able to like sneek ur way out of the pile if ur like a small elusive running back? can u give us a hint on next week blog.

yeah i think steering the d lineman was the most impressive thing...i feel like the ign videos really prepared me for everything that was being mentioned..but the DL/OL steering was very impressive..

...Did anyone else catch the little blurb at the end...Could we see late hits?


"What PRO-TAK gang tackling allows is that as a gamer I can now add-on to an existing tackle before the knees hit the ground (and even after that as well…more on that later) to nearly ALWAYS change the result of the play"

THATS WHATS GOOD

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: A Deeper Look into PRO-TAK

The good

The videos were overall good. I liked how players stacked onto the gang tackle.

The Blocking looks like real football. Huge plus there.

The bad

Lendale White had 5 yards to pick up speed and went from moving to dead stopped on the goaline. You can see his feet shift from under him to behind him and it looks like he is magicly being held in place as moves his feet to push. I dont know if you were just trying to have him walk up to the line and didnt try and truck Landy but IRL White would have dropped his shoulder and foward momentum would have carried him into the endzone.

Late hits are in.

Oooooh. Nice catch. That would be sweet if there were late hits. Nothing like an undisciplined gamer costing his virtual squad 15 yards.

They have been confirmed already.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: A Deeper Look into PRO-TAK

Is it me or animations in the ANT run waaaaay smoother than in game? Is there a reason why Ian?

Me too, I feel like I knew most of the details in the blog before hand. The DL/OL steering was the hightlight of the blog IMO. I am sure there will be some more great strides being made in the next weeks.

I think that's actually just my video capture / compression...it's pretty choppy capturing from HD. I'm still working on finding better settings.

Where was I for this confirmation. I know it's probably gonna be hard to do but this is one of the first things I'm attempting. lol
