Could we please have more info on fight for the fumble?

[thudias]

This sounds like a great feature and we are being teased. How was this implemented? What are the characteristics that trigger it? Is it random animation?

[CapnKill]

It better not be a "Press X really Fast" type of thing or I'm really gonna be p1$$ed.

For the record, can we get it in writing that Madden will NEVER EVER EVER EVER again implement a "Press this button really fast" type of feature?

They did that in Madden 08 for the PS2 when breaking a tackle oon occasion and I simply could not believe it.

Still working on the mechanics for this.

What would you guys like to see? How would you like to 'fight' for the fumble if the situation is applicable?

This is a great situation and question you pose.

Do you guys go to a cutscene and give us something ala mortal combat breaking bricks and boards by button smashing?

Im not really sure what way we have here to best determine who wins in this fight in the pile or how the situation will play out, maybe someone else will come in and have some better ideas on this than I do, because all I can think up here is button smashing, I mean think of how it goes down in real life, its a real life button smashing of ripping and hitting and jarring for the ball.

I have no clue... can you give us a bit more info cause at this point it could be anything right? Whatever you do... please don't make me have to push a button really fast, cause that's entering NFL Blitz territory.

Personally I'm all for stats working it out... I can't imagine what type of interaction it would take from us to determine who actually wins the fumble.

Since they are putting an emphasis on fumble recoveries is it safe to assume that ball physics have been improved?

I still think if would be awesome if balls were occasionally tipped and would "float" in the air for a second allowing users to try and scramble under it while the crowd goes crazy. That would just be so awesome!!

This, or something along these lines.

Please no button mashing.

I actually would enjoy tapping a button to break out of a tackle or to try and steal a fumble in a pile-up. To me it puts you more in control of the game.
