Player with better route running skill should have a much sharper turn rate!

Nice vid Ian i am really looking forward to madden 10. i have 1 question have you guy changed the crowd at all. because in madden 09 its dead Silent which is annoying because it feels like your not even home. i would like their to be a 12th man. cause in ncaa me and my friends always fight who gets to be home we flip a coin.

damn it went from 5 yards to 1 yard. thats a huge difference and a big reason you can manipulate the cpu defender when youre running because theres nothing stopping you from going full speed and changing any direction you want.

If the game has acceleration this would be fixed. When I run a 10 and out, it is not just me turning at full speed, it is me decelerating making my cut and then going back to full speed. But, I can cut on a dime if I slow down enough.

I like that quote. I think a player should have knowledge of the game to win.

Just watching the videos...I can almost feel the difference.

I really enjoyed seeing the player having to "plant" his foot before making such a sharp turn. Instead of just simply doing it, as it seems now. Easy to see the far more realistic movements.

Thanks again Ian!

I hope this year we have full control over our players speeds. You need to be able to just push the stick a little and have your player jog or run half speed. Last year (and maybe in years before, i can't recall), you had to push your stick near all the way for the player to move and he would go straight into a full run. It made making small adjustments really hard, especially for DB's and WR's. When going for the ball in the air last year I overran it a lot.

As always good stuff Ian. You can feel the weight on the players just by looking at them run. This should improve the running game tons. Can't wait for next week's blog already....
