    Tackles

    Where are these kind of tackles? All these years you'd think they'd be added:

        I don't see what you're getting at. I think the tackling is pretty good in the demo, besides a few ridiculous big hits every now and then.

          If tackling took more of a group effort, it would make the game much better.

            Re: Tackles

            13 has two-man tackling, and can credit 0.5 tackles. I thought I saw a play in the demo where there was a 3 man gang tackle, and I'm wondering how the stats will reflect that. How does it work IRL? If there's an equal 3 man gang tackle, do all three players get credited with half a tackle?

              IRL the stat for gang tackles is called "Assisted Tackles".

              Assisted Tackles

              Award assisted tackle if second defender materially shortens the duration of the play.
              Award two assisted tackles (and no solo tackle) if the ballcarrier is hit simultaneously by two defenders.
              Award two assisted tackles (and no solo tackle) if the first defender is unable to complete the tackle on himself. This guideline will often be used in an "in the grasp" situation or a shared sack.
              Do not award assisted tackle if ballcarrier would have been successfully tackled without contact from a second defender. Players who pile on when a tackle has already been made should not be awarded an assisted tackle.
              Do not award assisted (or solo) tackle if ballcarrier completely escapes the initial contact.
              Do not award assisted tackles on quarterback slides

              Doesn't say anything about if a 3rd guy comes but my guess is he would get an assisted tackle if he helped actually stop the play.

              Edit: But in the case of your Dallas picture only the guys who actually stopped the runner from advancing get stats all those other players get nothing except satisfaction that they hit something.

                I've actually enjoyed a lot of the tackle animations in the demo thus far. I can't complain much.

                  I haven't noticed gang tackles as much but I can't say I'm disappointed. Hopefully, they make a slightly more prominent return but overall I feel pretty good about the tackling.

                    turn the tackling slider down. I did it for NCAA 13 and it was great, a lot of gang tackles, and open field tackles arent easy at all.

                      Tackles are pretty good and new to me since I didn't really play Madden enough

                      Only thing I don't like is you see a ghost tackle every now and then, but its rare

                        As mentioned before most ppl play with their tackle slider at default. Huge mistake! Luckily this slider has worked pretty well unlike some of the other sliders. Lowering the tackle slider about 25-30 points gives you a brand new game. Granted the tackle system is far from realistic but this helps A LOT.

                          I've played about 10 games and have not seen anyone with an assisted tackle when I look at player stats. I hope they don't have the problem that Madden had last year with assisted tackles.

                            Thanks dcgc5 for the informative response.

                            I hope there's not a stat bug too. I've only played one demo game, but on one of the first plays, my defenders engaged in a clear 3 man gang tackle. I took a quick look at the stats and one of the three had 1 tackle and the other two had nothing.

                              I saw thais as well. I can live with it in this game due to me being able edit my roster mid-dynasty. It hurts bad in CCM when your LBs can't progress due to a lack of assisted tackles.

                              In general though, today's game is about one on one tackles in space. The demo does a pretty decent job of portraying this in my opinion.
