Madden NFL 10 Blog - Improvements to QB Position

[hollerback04]

i was watching the combine while the qbs were throwing and the commentators were talking about how quick a quarterback can get in and out of his drop affecting his effectivness. for example in mark sanchez's case they said he was a long strider with a long over the top motion. ( not saying thats a bad thing but back to the point) is it possible to implement signature drop styles for the qbs and bring back that gather step at the end of the drop i really miss that?

Very impressive Ian. Looks tons more realistic. I've been impressed with EA lately. I'm gonna purchase Live 09 and NHL 08(LOL i'm getting used to hockey) this week. This looks like a purchase. And I did not purchase (enjoy) Madden this year for the first time.

Good Stuff. The tuning of the ball release based on the level of contact by the defender, along with the implementation of procedural awareness will change the Madden football dynamic considerably.

Ironically, players will eventually have to make the decision themselves to eat the ball(instead of being forced by the animations) and take more sacks, instead of tossing up a bunch of wounded geese, and getting picked over and over.

Hopefully layered blending will be used on defense as well, adding more reaching, and grasping actions, thus replacing all the suction elements.

You just got $120 out of me. What gets me excited is that this is a Feburary feature, what are we going to hear about in April or May. *cough* Online Franchise *cough*.

It was so beautiful i almost cried!LOL So what about a rating for QB's release? It seem more important with the layerd blending(im not sure wether its a feature or not)

And He said that layerd blending was starting with the QB so they should be using it @ every position!

Better animation!!!! IM DOING MY HAPPY DANCE

Could layered blending possibly lead to proper implementation of intentional grounding? If your QB is being sacked and you are able to still throw the ball, I would hope it is much harder to get an accurate throw away, which hopefully would lead to some intentional grounding calls.
