Idea for Madden: Blitz timing


Allowing a LB or DB to time a running start on a blitz. Now this is what we see on Sunday. Example: player cycles through defense and selects a free safety....then "clicks" the right analog (ie press down--this is hardly used)....free safety begins sprint to the line of scrimmage either right before the snap or has click the analog again to stop the motion....if the player doesn't time this right he's offsides....

This is just an example....maybe others have ideas to tweak this.

It was only a matter of time, someone chimes in negative words toward 2ksports and V and S to the rescue. Sorry he never said a word about 2k in that video. Now in his blog, he does have post complimenting 2k, but I'm sure you guys over looked that. Due to the fact that most cops go by planted evidence instead of what's really there.

And sadly you didn't debate a single thing I said (kinda funny though). Just fyi, I was responding to someone else's post.

Not to mention I did post earlier in this thread regarding the video if I recall. Instead of catching feelings about what I said in my second post, why not explain why you thought what I said was wrong

Wasn't catching feelings, just giving you and V a hard time. It's all out of fun man...But you guys are die-hard 2k don't be denying that though. V denies it and lies through his teeth, but I know you'll admit it.

I saw you spraying the logic on in your post as well, but you didn't chime in, until someone said,"Ian is talking smack about 2k". And you came running! lol..

Either way I'm just messing with you man....and keep the badge...lol

Re: I sure hope Pro-Tak is not overdone....

It seems to me that Pro-Tak is overdone at this point, and what scares me the most is this gang tackling, it seems to me from the videos we have seen (I know it's a work in progress) that gang tackling happens waay to forced and not natural at all.

You shouldn't be worried boss. Back at CD, one of my critiques was that we didn't see 3-4 man gang tackles enough. It felt like 3+ man gang tackles were supressed as it was a new feature and they didn't want to over use it. My rebuttal is if the tech is there and the situation is applicable, use it. I think we should often see 3-4 men swarming in to make the play especially when running the ball. Now when you start talking 5+, then of course you don't want to see that so often. But 3-4 men tackles are seen if not often, then consistently in the NFL. This is why it's good that they're adding variety to the type of gang tackles.

I know what you said is not directed at me but I wanted to comment. Most importantly, I don't feel your flat out wrong for what you said. In fact, I read alot of your posts and enjoy pretty much all of them. I just want to comment on the below:

lol it's two years old. And unlicensed. If that's the case then it's a sad because it should've long been a distant memory given the situation. Really it's going to be unfair to Madden to directly compare the games; sort of like a 25yr-old Lebron bragging that he beat a 45yr-old Michael Jordan. He's supposed to. But if he didn't, it'd look bad on LeBron.

I hesitated in commenting b/c then I know it leaves the door open for me to criticized as coming to Tiburon's defense. But I just don't agree with the logic. I'm sure that you, me, and everyone else has criticized EA for their shotty OL/DL play over the past few years if not longer. As we're all aware, 2K is the measuring stick in this area. Well now they're (EA) taking steps to address it, and then comes the 'well it's about time' sentiments. Do you see what I'm getting at here? It's bad enough that Madden went so long without addressing this area. We criticized them unmercifully for ignoring this core component of football. And now that they are recognizing that it needs an overhaul and taking the steps to improve it, we belittle them for drawing a comparison to 2K (the measuring stick) and trying to surpass them. The important thing to me is that they're addressing it; not that it's taken too long for EA to catch up.

A lot of people don't recognize this now, but I've always been a HUGE 2K fan. NFL2K5 (I still play almost daily), APF2K, NBA2K (a fave), you name it, I've probably played it. But improvement is improvement in my eyes.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Video: Pro-TAK Animation System

Didn't hear him say anything about 2k. I heard him mention that too many animations or longer animations would cause you to lose control of the player and not be able to move another direction. Where did he say,"Just like in 2k games?" Just not hearing that.



OMG! Something might have been said about 2ksports and here you are to the rescue!!! Obviously the comment must have been true about 2ksports games, in which they are, I've loss counts on how many times I've lost control my RB or Receiver due to animations not allowing me to change moves. Not to mention in NBA 2k9 where I've constantly done stupid layups or up and under moves that I didn't command!

But again we know who you work for!

This is the paragraph I wanted to quote. I've been trying to say this, but you summed it up much better than I did.

Thank you.

Exactly. I absolutely hate it when people do that. I'm a positive person so yeah, I don't understand why people would be like that.

They bash madden for not having "x", and yet when "x" comes, they bash it since another game had "x" before.

Like if you are mad about one thing, you should be happy about the opposite. It makes no sense to be mad in both cases and therefore it shows who are truly the die-hard 2k fanboys.
