#4 and #6 really have me curious, I have to crash, but if someone asks SimFballcritic about those - please post in here his response or a summary of what he can tell you...

Re: SimFballcritic Exclusive! Blocking.

I'm guessing they will be revealing this soon or at E3, the way they have each item listed with specific numbers is a pretty decent sign that they plan to talk about it in a blog or video soon.

Re: SimFballcritic Exclusive! Blocking.

I found it interesting that he said there will be more information given at E3. I had a feeling that EA were holding back information due to being able to demo the games on the next generation consoles. It will definitely be interesting to hear what else is going to be included.

I'm taking a believe it when I see it approach in regard to the blocking improvements other than new animations.

Re: SimFballcritic Exclusive! Blocking.

Best news Ive heard about Madden 25 so far, gotta see how it looks in motion though, because Tiburon is known for adding things that only triggers every now and then. Even if these new animations don't stand out in the current gen version they make for a good transition to the next-gen version on a new engine they should look good.

Re: SimFballcritic Exclusive! Blocking.

Sounds interesting. Can't wait for these next few weeks. CCM news, new Xbox, E3. Going to be crazy.

Hoping that after the CCM, they release a teaser showcasing some of this stuff.

Re: SimFballcritic Exclusive! Blocking.

Add this to things I think I'm seeing in the vid and I'm as optimistic as I've been since '09. Seems like some of the '09/'10 CD suggestions are finally coming to light.

I guess a "WIP" this time means a "WIP".

Good find and good show.

Re: SimFballcritic Exclusive! Blocking.

Sweet news the pass blocking/rushing aspect is something I'm keeping my eye on

Re: SimFballcritic Exclusive! Blocking.

As I previously stated a while back, this is likely due to the popularity boost of the spread option and then making it look/function right in the game (because you have to have blocking schemes of all kinds)...and thank you! Even though I think RG3's days are numbered per running the ball, I thank him, too.
