Madden NFL 10 Blog: A Deeper Look Into Pass Blocking

[ridemooses]

I'm loving this so far! It actually looks like if a RB is running towards the corner and you are on that outside part as a DL you can actually get OFF THE BLOCK and get to him! Hopefully this is just a start like Ian said there's a lot more that can be fine tuned with this but hopefully User Sacks will actually happen in this years Madden, maybe.

LOL agreed.

The DL stances are still wrong too. I see now why my thread and my posts were ignored on the issue.

Basically will the roll and chuck in madden finally be dead and buried come 8.14.09 ? How about McNabb, Vince Young or Romo ?

No I was still able to throw it while sprinting, but it was terribly overthrown even when my WR was wide open and had beaten the coverage. I'm not going to promise the roll and chuck to be gone, but if they speed up the pocket setup how I like, you can forget roll and chuck. You'd barely be able to roll.

As for McNabb, Young and those guys, I didn't get a chance to test with them or play against them.

thats because ngata plays in a 34 and his assignment is to command double team most of the times, not to sack the QB.

I think this is the best solution. I'd hate for them to get rid of the option to sprint and throw like 2k, because you should have the choice to do it. It's just that the penalty should be so bad that you wouldn't dare do it regularly. Sounds like accuracy is more important now .

Keep in mind this was with Flacco though. I'm not sure how much more accurate higher rated guys in the throw on the run category will be. It could be negated by deep ball accuracy though.

In 2K you do know you CAN sprint and throw with QBs that CAN sprint and throw ? When you try with a QB thats a pocket passer, your throws are off target or badly thrown.
