Man this thread is full of frustration and disappointment, in relation to Madden. I wonder who comes up with some of the stuff at Tiburon, namely the User control being at odds with the influence of ratings. It's ironic that a game that's constantly being explained to be so convoluted and complicated at the coding level also seems so archaic. For example, dline/online being linked, wr/db/ball linked, defenders/ball carrier linked, ratings that are just numbers vs numbers for win/loss, etc.
The discussion about foot work is just a shame, imo, considering that blocking foot work actual exists and matters in real football and it seems they could mo cap different tiers/skill levels of it, to tie to ratings.
Gotmadskillzson has been pointing things like this out for years.
