Someone has already posted multiple QBs in the league from Alex Smith to Tom Brady. In the Madden footage he is obviously well out of range from the LOS in the open field. When they are no longer in position to throw or to fool the defense to look for the pass, QBs pretty much instinctively tuck the ball nowadays like a majority of players. Therefore it shouldn't be a default running animation for non-RBs, WRs, TEs, & FBs anymore. If you didn't know about the Tebowing not being done in the endzone you may not know about that as well.

But of course QBs are going to just have the ball in their throwing hand untucked until they've made the decision to run which is typically a few yards past the LOS. Tebow did tuck the ball every player except for the run were he only ran 6 yards for a TD since the play was so close to LOS anyway.

Here's the post I was talking about with all the current QBs (mostly pocket QBs) tucking the ball running with no intention to pass...it's a long on with a lot of photo examples so I'll just post the direct link instead of quoting.

Nah, I know that it shouldn't be a default animation, but in the Madden video, he's running untouched and with no one near him.

Again, someone said he doesn't run with the ball like that, all I did was find a few videos when Tebow didn't tuck the ball all the time beyond the LOS. Am I wrong in seeing what I'm seeing?

Heck, with Rodger's being a double threat, I've seen him carry the ball plenty of times beyond the LOS like a loaf of bread.

I'm not saying all QB's carry the ball that way, I'm saying some do, some of the time.

Well...ideally I think Madden should have the QBs tuck the ball after 5 yards past the LOS if no defenders are in reach. I think that would make a lot of people happy...I think. It would definitely be better than seeing every non-ball carrier one hand it imho.

In a good way.

I agree with you on that. Question is could this mean some good ball physics this year. Hoping that is true. I watch the video like a few different times. Seeing the ball roll around. Instead of it just been dropped and stop moving like a rock or something. Hope this means something when it comes to fumbles and all. I guess we will find out soon enough.

I know one thing Madden 13 looks freakin gorgeous. The lighting is great and I feel like run animation looks slightly better, the only thing that did bug me was Tebow coming to a stop so quickly, other than that this was pretty impressive.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Video - Tim Tebow... Tebowing

I like the fact that he's holding the ball (unlike M12). Graphically : Stunning !!

**TreyIM2** · 05-24-2012, 05:47 AM

When I seen the pic of this the other day, I thought, "I think Tebow only does this on the sideline after a score?" and now I see this vid - No bueno. It also brings attention to the running animation issue again, for me - No bueno. Can't wait for next gen but I'll try to enjoy the other improvements to Madden in 13.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Video - Tim Tebow... Tebowing

TERRIBLE video. From the wonky run, to the disjointed (and out of place) Tebowing, and then the teammate coming in pretending he's an airplane. The whole thing is comical to me.

This gives me every reason to utterly destroy the Jets in my franchise. :wink:

Re: Courtesy of ESPN: New Madden 13 Video: Tebowing

Tim doesnt really hold the ball exposed that way once he passes the line of scrimmage.
Here is the drive he had against the Jets, and you will witness numerous times when ever he passes the line of scrimamge he tucks the ball very nicely, and even places it in the correct arm to protect it better.

Here is a video of tebow highlight s for the 2011 season. If this kid can be more consistant with his accuracy. He will be a major problem for dfenses in the NFL. I can see why the Jets took a chance on him. If they can get his accuracy consistant. They have a winner in their hands.

Unfortunately that's how most QBs do carry the ball when they run. See Vick and the numerous time he fumbles by being stripped from behind as he carries the ball like a loaf of bread.

Video looks very good IMO, and my guess is EA did this as his TD celebration because the casual fans out there will want to see him Tebowing more than he really does.

That is not true. Most QB's tuck the ball. You just named Vick, and yes he runs with it exposed more than most, but most QB's do tuck the ball.

In the thread discusing QB's fumbling there are a large amount of photos showcasing how most Qb's tuck the ball.

Also, at the 1:51 mark and the 3:27 mark in the drive against the Jets last season.

No no no my friend

. Majority of the time Tebow tucks the ball. He does expose it alot behind the line of scrimamge, but once he passes the line of scrimmage he tucks it at a very high pecentage of the time.

I posted two video and you will witness him tucking the ball a high percentage of the time.

Re: Madden NFL 13 Video - Tim Tebow... Tebowing

As someone who watched "a few" Tebow games (ahem), I can say without a doubt that everything is wrong with this video. It's as if somebody made it 100% from memory and didn't actually research this stuff.

I showed 2 videos, 3 runs of Tebow carrying the ball IRL like a loaf of bread on post #24. If he does IRL, why not in the game?

I have two videos showing him tucking the ball way more than exposing it, so shouldn't the higher percentage of his ball carrying skills be refelcted?

**berad88** · 05-24-2012, 07:50 AM

Re: Madden NFL 13 Video - Tim Tebow... Tebowing

When Tebow is scrambling he tends to hold the ball just like in the video. Of course he may tuck it on a designed run.

**Broncos86** · 05-24-2012, 07:55 AM

Re: Madden NFL 13 Video - Tim Tebow... Tebowing

The only time he holds it the way he's shown is when he INITIALLY takes off running. But that's only from a passing play. After he gets a bit going, he tucks the ball in. Any designed run, it's tucked away from the start.

absolutely hilarious that people are nit picking everything in this video. basically, they're showing you the tebowing. anything other than that, i refuse to comment on because it's so blatantly, obviously not "final code that's going to be in the game so we immediately need to worry about everything"

yup...i feel a lot of negative energy from people these days..including in here..not good, not good at all. I was brought up to always think positive and keep positive about things..yeah maybe madden hasnt been up to snuff in recent years but man..why stay thinking negative? Its bad for the soul..

I think the video looks pretty good....glad they got that in there and good to hear the crowds sound good.
