Madden NFL 10 Blog - Improvements to QB Position

Layered blending can also be used for ball carriers to reach out for more yardage or for the endzone as they are being tackled, right ?

It most likely could, as I read it they could manipulate any leg or arm attached to the body while blending with another animation.

All of it sounds great.

Will be interesting to see how this affects the CPU AI mostly for me, no more Robo QB perhaps...

This is cool. I want to see animations from some QB's where they get the ball off to a TE or RB while being taken down, like McNair used to do a lot, and guys like Ben do now.

You can add WR/CB interaction to the list as well.

"I was hitting the button!"

I've heard and said that so many times over the years. If those days are behind us, that would be awesome.

Fantastic blog, Ian! The Madden 10 team is taking on gameplay-related issues with the fervor of true football fans.

This kind of improvement makes me downright giddy. It's not about a gimmick. It's about football.

Thank you! Keep up the great work!

The updates keep getting better and better. I know one thing, my man Peyton Manning better be in the high 90's for the play action rating. He's among the leagues best, if not the best.

I just love this part, " Good QB's will put the ball where only their receiver can get it, and bad QB's, well, they'll at least try to do that."

I felt that even with QB's like P. Manning, the ball wouldn't always go where you intended to put it. For example, I might try to lob the ball over a LB or DB's head and they get up like they all have 40 inch verticals and either knock down the ball, or get the INT the majority of the time. We all know that ain't NFL football.
