    Tackle Battle : What are your post release thoughts?

    Well we've had a couple months with the game so what are your thoughts of the tackle battle?

    I'm assuming it was a pretty small resource feature and I could do without it. It looks unnatural in motion to me and I just don't get enjoyment out of executing/winning a battle.

    Don't like it.. Momentum sucks.. I mean you could be running straight and get in a battle/gang tackle and next minute you're running sideways/backwards..

      For the most part, I don't mind it as it barely affects the outcome of a play for me. Rarely do I get 2 players 1-on-1 either on offense or defence and get the battle button pressed in time, before a 2nd defender swarms in to cancel the tackle battle.


      Having said that, my original stance was "its cheesey, it needed an off option and instead of that they should spend more time on the physics to make sure size, speed and momentum work like they should". So I guess that means my opinion improved.

        It's just another gimmick that will eventually be removed in a future edition. I would have preferred they spent their time in other areas. But I'd imagine the online crowd likes it because it's about button timing and stick skills.

          I don't use it at all. I'm trying to play a football game not Mortal Kombat.

            Pretty much this for me too

              I initially thought it would be an OP feature, but I rarely notice it to be honest. Doesn't really effect much in my opinion.

                Don't like it, momentum has no effect, player weight has no effect. Just doesn't feel right

                  IMO, there were other aspects of the game that the Madden Developers could have concentrated on instead of coming up with another gimmick such as Tackle Battle. They should have been concerting their efforts more on Line Interaction/Play, More Realistic Player Attributes, Better variety with injuries and games missed because of injuries, QB Accurracy, Working Auto Subs, etc.... No, but instead, they throw in another feature to try and wow us, hoping that it will take our focus off of the short comings of this game that they still cant get right year after year. Smoke and Mirrors is the oldest trick in the books for trying to get past issues that plague anything.

                    Disappointed to see that "Hate It", isn't one of the poll choices...

                    It's gimmicky, leads to some suction-y / sticky animations and clutters up the screen...

                    Smells like "Marketing Department Cheeze" to me...

                      I'd hazard a guess at all the sim-friendly focus points this year they needed a "back-of-box" cheese feature as a compromise with the marketing team :P

                        Never use it, would be nice if they gave us the option to remove it from displaying on your TV.

                        Off topic - I HATE the spin move going into the defender where the defender always slips. He literally spins into him not the one where it plants the foot and spins the opposite direction. Sorry, needed to vent.

                            I don't mind it. Sometimes it does create some wow moments and it does add some variety to ball carrier interactions, which is cool. But definitely could have been done in a much less gimmicky way. Having an option to let the CPU determine the winner of the tackle battle based on ratings would have been very nice.

                              Absolutely hate it. Have never thought that button mashing should play such a big part in a tackle interaction.
