Re: EA's IMPACT PHYSICS ENGINE!!! When can we expect in Madden? Clips inside this thr

There's a lot more to physics in football than other sports. We have to account for guys struggling out of contact, sustained contact rather than impacts.

What we have to account for that other games don't- in most games, guys fall down. In our game, they're doing everything they can not to fall down. The physics models I've seen handle the first part well... the second part, not so much.

That said, Phil Frazier has said in several interviews that this year's impact system in Madden is our first step toward physics as a long term goal. All I'm saying is we can't just take it from NHL or FIFA and have it work in Madden. The nature of contact in those games is entirely different from NFL Football.
