Anyone who doesn't like the prospect of 9-player gang tackle is crazy

I saw the 6-player gang-tackle in the video and I loved it. 4 guys trying to tackle the ball carrier with another opposing player in the back trying to push the whole pack of them forward is pure football heaven.


The fact that the system can support up to NINE players involved in something like that is pretty much football nirvana for me.

I feel the need to give props for that. I criticize EA a lot - but that's one thing I gotta give props for.

I'd love to see that sort of pileup/gridlock on a 4th and 1 play and then calling up a replay after the bodies are pulled off to see if the ball carrier crossed the 1st down marker or not.

That definitely makes for some more excitement. I wonder how Collinsworth will describe those pileups? lol

9 players is ridiculous...couldn't believe it when I read it.

I was kinda confused when I heard 9 player gang tackles...I was thinking "Who am I tackling that I need 9 people? The Fridge?!" But then I thought about others on offense trying to push the pile included in the 9..and it is pretty exciting.

I hope that's interchangeable - like any combination of 8 players from either team AND the ball carrier.

I mean we're talking about massive tug-of-wars. (or push-of-wars?)

They should use the total weight of the players involved to determine which way the tackle goes lol.

9 players is cool, but I hope that the rest of the players don't just sit and stare.

Why is it only 9!?!?!?

I DEMAND 22!

I dont think thats possible but sure would be interested to see being tried.

To me this is where the game will surpass 2k. They still have some work to do on the OL vs DL, but it should be further along than CD.
