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

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

Sounds like a promising addition. I think Pro-Tak and re-worked player movement (ie, momentum/sense of weight/turn radius/etc) could be big steps forward if they are successfully implemented...

That Steve Smith vid was sick. Glad he's on my team.

But the Pro-Tak blog was kinda disappointing to me...I mean, it's great to see the gang-tackling in motion (or replay, as it were), but they didn't even touch on most of the stuff pro-tak is going to be used for (at least not vid-wise and such), even though we have been beaten over the head with it in every preview...I mean, we know what its being used for ad nauseum, and yet they only showed us gang-tackling. Don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna bite the hand that feeds...but I would've liked to see more..and perhaps from an in-game perspective...

You know, Demarcus Ware has gotten the best of Brandon Jacobs more than a few times, i hope Jacobs doesnt have to be tackled like that all the time.

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

the thing that worries me quite a lot regarding the PRO-TAK system is, when you watch the video where the Ravens stop the Titans at the goalline it seems as if the first tackler is holding the player up to force gang tackling...it doesn't seem very natural at this point. If the whole gang tackling concept is going to be forced it will be pointless and irritating, it should happen natural as it does in nfl 2k5. If a tackler is going to holp up the ball carrier just to show of gang tackling 50 times a game they should rather leave it.

Agreed. Shouldn't take 4 people most times.

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

Seems like it should start a single-man tackle or something.. maybe the RB can be falling forward... then IF someone else piles on, they can help push him back so he doesn't fall forward.... seemed like Lendale should have scored on the Ravens clip...

agreed. If I was playing as the Titans in that clip I would've kicked a whole in my TV. He should have scored easily.

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

I watched the Ravens clip a half dozen or so more times. I love how Ray Lewis interacts with the pile and how the db coming in from the right lowers and shoulders White to the ground. Those two are spot on. #92 is locked in a stepless sliding animation and then glitchifies himself into the position that Ed Reed was occupying. Everything about #92 in this video is extraordinarily wrong. It will get tuned though. I'm going to choose to be excited about the other side of this rather than paranoid about the stuff that is wrong.

As others have posted, White's size should have pushed him into the endzone here on the initial hit. The other defenders never would have had a chance to get involved because White would have pushed Reed backward on contact.

Which is why I posted somewhere in here, it dont look like there is any physics really involved in any of this. It LOOKS like there is a contact event which triggers "mo cap" animations and they play out based on the ratings of the players and the direction the user is pressing is suppose to somehow influence it. Although in that vid it didnt appear the players weight or the users input mattered. White just got stood up.

If we talk about it, its "you are being a *****", "its not done yet"
Ok, well what am I suppose to comment on ? What I see or what I hope to see ?

I started another thread to try to get a good debate going on the whys behind the function of the different parts of the game. I figure the better you understand whats going on, the more you can identify whats a bug/glitch/user error when playing the game when it drops.

No one wants to talk about this stuff though. They only want to argue over "well its gonna be the best madden ever" or "I aint buying it because the shoes aint right"

We got the ear of the DEV of a big game and we are talking about/asking the wrong questions when discussing some of the features of the game.
