Madden NFL 11 Blog: Dual Stick Control

[BooShay]

Nice, adds to the "deeper" part of their slogan this year

Sweet, and very NFL 2k-ish (by which I mean very nice indeed ). I can't wait to try this out.

Good read. Great amount of videos(didn't expect that).

All I can do is hope they implement this stuff right. I'm guessing we'll later and get a little glimpse of If this game is going to be better than it was last year. Trailers usually don't mean much and I'm not expecting this one to.

Will we have dual control for defense or we gotta wait for Madden 12

I love it. It's nice the Both football groups are making their games less caned animation this year and more realism. Thanks for posting. Good read.

This blog explains all the cool stuff I was pulling off back at CD ...

Most of us noticed the new right stick stuff, but I didn't realize how contextual it was. Very cool!

My thoughts:

* First spin move in the video actually looks like...a spin move.....nice to see!
* The override video example adds some depth to the QB. Takes the stiffness out of the QB IMO.
*The progressive leaning in the lean_fwd video is intriguing. I am hoping that an upright truck has a lessened effect than lowering your shoulder completely.
* The leaning too far video is very nice as well. I like that there is a penalty to leaning too much/too often.

Should be interesting to see this in action in the videos!

Rgiles, in the NCAA ign article the writer said hit stick effectiveness was tuned waaay down, to the point where he didnt remember connecting with one "hit stick" tackle.

Can you comment on "hit stick" effectiveness? Will people finally use the regular tackle button instead of the hit stick vacume tackle we always get sucked into?
