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

My quoting isn't working - dougduece, yea, the "going gold" does happen before that but that won't be til about mid July. Still 2 months til final code! Lol. I am geeked for this ****in' game, for real!!!!

True, I'm not worried about anything right now to tell you the truth, I think this dev team is like a greased up cheetah on a water slide... (?)

I think they'll have it all handled.

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

lmao...seriously I didnt notice your name was "backbreaker"...I just was saying since you wanted real serious hits, try the game Backbreaker lol...cause those games really deliver those tackles you might be looking for...but nah I'm not trying to take a shot at you..I really didnt even notice your name being backbreaker honestly...

Not looking for over the top. Most, if not all defenders(Prime Time exception) bring the wood when a defender is being held up, since their is no advantage for a defender to push him backwards(forward momentum rule) so to bring him down where he stands or deliver a blow that may jar the ball loose or even strip the ball. The only time a defender gets in a grab azz scenario is when he grabs from behind, most of the time from the side and in front its a collision either the back bounces off the tackle or he runs over the defender.

Oh damn! That's what I want to know about as well. Maybe next couple of blogs. Maybe another way of utilizing stick skills for a receiver?

Re: Pro-Tak Blog Is Up

Don't worry - we're still tuning it. I wanted to get you guys a blog but the feature is still very much work in progress (hence the disclaimer in the blog).

I wanted to put this out there and rely on you guys to know that you're looking at early software. The other option is you get no early looks ever again.

Great job. You guys are really making me eat crow and I love it.

One thing, though. I notice that the example everyone seems to use is Brandon Jacobs. I really hope you guys don't end up making him some unstoppable force in the game, because he's really not in real life unless he's going up against defensive backs.

DeMarcus Ware has brought him down singlehandedly on multiple occasions.

Just sayin'

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

That pro-tak stuff looks pretty good.

One thing I was wondering though. If I have a ball carrier rapped up, can I take control of a guy and attempt to strip the ball out of his hands? The controller has a user strip button, so shouldn't we be able to use that to strip instead of going in for the pile-up? I see this all the time in the NFL when a player gets stood up. That's why when ball carriers get into a lot of traffic they just dive forward.

There is a difficult fine line to be reached here. On the one hand Jacobs should not be untackleable, on the other hand you SHOULD be forced to gear your defense to stop him.

Sliders will be HUGE this year. HUGE.

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

Uhh, I really don't think there will be a Backbreaker game, buddy. There hasn't been any new game related info in an extremely long time. I almost believe that this was all a ploy to show EA what they are missing out on by not acquiring the tech.
Whatever the case, I don't think there will be a Backbreaker game. I could be wrong but I really don't think so. And I also think that now that EA is making HUGE strides with Madden, Backbreaker won't stand a chance of even coming close, especially with NO NFL LICENSES. It'll be another APF 08 which was a dud...and an UGLY, PS2 looking, no new tech of a dud, at that.

explain to me how entrance vids and gameplay screenshots posted in the last two weeks don't equal "new game related info"?

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

This also means that a defender “knows” to try and keep players out of the endzone or sideline or first down marker - our runtime code can manipulate the playback of the animation accordingly to steer it in the desired direction.

I hope this works as well as advertised.

I agree wholeheartedly.

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

Any chance Pro Tak could do a sled animation like Turner did to Kansas City last year?
