Too soon or too late will affect the kick. And better kickers/lower difficult levels allow larger room for error. Simple, yet intuitive way of using analog sticks for kicking.

Yeah that's exactly how APF did it. I think it was a pretty good way to replicate it.

That sounds like APF's kicking system, which was waaaaaay more trouble than it was worth imo.

Meter based systems are a better option for Madden because they are both familiar to longtime fans of the series while at the same time being easier for non-hardcore gamers to get the hang of.

I could never get their kicking down right. I always just used Coach mode during kicking because I could never figure it out correctly

In many instances we've gone beyond that trailer in terms of body portions and movement etc, but in just pure eye candy and atmopshere, that trailer is still miles above how Madden to this day looks now.

Yeah, Madden has to find a happy medium. It was nice to miss kicks in APF, but it was too difficult to make them. Rewarding no doubt, but too hard. My opinion for what it's worth...

I sure hope so... I've been waiting since '07 for this to be back in the game.

I will wait until the game comes outs. Maybe just a bunch fluff like that cheerleader pick on the other thread. I hope it is better than last years Madde.

I fully agree!
