Madden needs to implement "tapping the button" to run faster/accelerate

[Moegames]

Pressing and holding down the accelerate/turbo button may work in NBA video games, Hockey video games, soccer video games but in football? No it dont..its simply not fun to press and hold down on a button to accelerate your running speed...its another one of my pet peeves about madden > the turbo/acceleration button..it feels dead and what i mean is that there is no thrill in trying to run your RB and break around the outside, no thrill in running the rock through a hole while accelerating and no thrill once you get a glimpse of open field and wanting to break away for a TD. The reason why the running game in madden is not that exciting are two glaring reasons that could easily be fixed.

1. As mentioned.. currently in madden all we have is a button we simply "press and hold down" to accelerate...That's not fun... what should be in madden is a mechanism like the old 2k games had by giving us the ability to accelerate through open holes or around the corners by quickly tapping on a button. Seriously..here it is one of those tiny things that would make a huge difference. There is no better feeling than being able to quickly accelerate through a opened hole by quickly tapping a button to speed through it..think about it.

2. Breaking tackles..again..the tapping of the button to break tackles greatly enhances the fun of running the ball in football games. I already have a thread on the "breaking tackles" issue....

So just wanted to drop a quick post on this.. i hope they consider bringing this into madden. Running the ball by having to physically tap on a button as fast as you can to gain acceleration is fun..same goes with tapping on a button to break out of tackles. Giving this as a option should at least be given to us by now. The old 2k guys did it and they got very little recognition on how this feature they introduced made running the ball such a fun and exciting thing to do in those old football games..its time its brought into madden. God willing

I fully agree with you!

But don't expect the majority to agree...I mentioned the same thing a couple of years ago and everyone complained that they didn't like the tapping button mechanism 2k used for sprinting.

I liked it, as it made you work for that long TD runs...which in the end gave you a lot more satisfaction when you made it to the endzone.

I agree, as well. It just makes sense. Tapping the button, fighting for those yards, fighting to break that tackle (not just relying on a "dice roll" ). I really don't get the hate this feature brings.

Personally, I hated the button tapping in 2K.

I also did not like the button tapping

They could add it in as an optional thing so we can get the tapping feature but the people that dont like it dont need to be bothered by it.

I am totally against button tapping.

It doesn't make sense to argue for this and then be against the fumble pileups that required tapping.

Madden uses 'auto-sprint' by default. So you don't need to tap a button, or hold one down.

I actually prefer it that way, now a players acceleration matters MORE than it used to.

If Madden does, NCAA would need to follow suit.

All mapping buttons will be the same.

I'm sure it won't be this year, and I'm not a button masher myself, but I'm all for options.

Honestly, never enjoyed being a thumb jockey on sports games, but to each their own.

Theyre two different things.

Instead of tapping the button, cant the same be done with the R trigger button. The further down you press it the faster he will go. This can help you with your agility.

Let the R trigger go so your player can be more agile, or hold it halfway to sprint through the hole then let it go to make a quick cut, then hold it down again to out run the defense or run someone over. I say by making the R trigger pressure sensitive to the runners speed can work out nicely.

I can see where the Op makes sense. How you run determines what moves a runner can do, and by doing something will also put your running skills to the test.

Tapping to sprint? No!

Tapping to break tackles in certain situations? Cool, but the max tapping rate has to be moderate.
