You can turn it back "on" but default it is off!

The next big change, is the removal of the sprint button. Don’t worry you can still turn it back on.

It will be just like the NHL series. Speed, and acceleration will all be based on ratings. The further you push the left analog stick the faster they will run. How fast they get to top speed and their actual top speed ("sprint") will be determined on how far you push the left stick and the ratings the individual player has. Play NHL 10 for a quick reference.

You can also see how it works for football in the Backbreaker game or it's demo.

Excited to see sprint button "gone". Seems like they're trying to make it more "sim" with the info we've seen so far.

Sounds good! I have no problem with back breaker but I am thrilled it is in Madden. The NHL series has nailed this concept so I would assume Madden would too!

We've all been begging for ratings to finally matter, looks like we got our wish. EA has REALLY addressed the masses this year. I am very content with what I see, July 12th and August 10th can't get here fast enough!

Agreed! I wish I had a Twitter I would personally thank Ian for these additions to the game! The new kicking meter is huge too..
