Madden 09: Slide Protection On

[RaychelSnr]

When slide protection was added to the current-generation versions of Madden 09, many people began to wonder if it could be utilized effectively on running plays. At first I was skeptical and did not believe it could, because it had actually had a negative effect on running plays in past versions of Madden on the PS2 and Xbox.

However, I decided to find out once for all what the truth was. Thus, I decided to run every type of run play in the game, from FB Dives to HB Sweeps to HB Dives -- all with and without slide protection. I ran each type of running play a total of 2,500 times. I ran each running play with each type of slide protection 500 times a piece, and then with no slide protection 500 times. After each rushing attempt, I wrote down how many yards I gained in my notebook.

Nice! I really appreciate all the research you did. I'll be seeing if these are helpful in the NCAA 9.001 demo.

It's intersting you said that it didn't work on the past generation versions, as I found it invaluable. You couldn't abuse it, but I was almost guarenteed 4+ yards when used at the right moment.

There are games, for me, where slide protection is the only way I can get a consistent block. Other games, LBs are getting in the backfield because of it.
