Scrambling Sideways - I did do this alot and it was one of the reason why you see on the feedback, pocket needs to form alot faster. So I was not completely satisfied with this, but they were really receptive and was sure to fix this. Rocket Catch Deep - I couldn't turn the WR like I wanted to. I can't say more right now on that without getting into specific areas EA Tib hasn't discussed yet. I was able to get it to work in jump ball situations though where the ball hung in the air for awhile. Rocket Catch on Curl Routes - it didn't happen, BUT, I did have a stop catch that I wasn't necessarily happy with because it could open up to the Rocket Catch on curls. I think alot has to do with the new QB ratings though. You can throw the curl high, but it might not always be accurate. On deep passes I overthrew several with Flacco. With Warner I was on target, but his ball did not fly down the field with the zip that Flacco's did.

everything you were looking for (or at least stated above) are things that need to be addressed.
fantastic feedback LBZ

The hand towels are clearly visual from the current camera (the same camera used in madden 09) You can see them clearly moving in with the player.

Always remember that just because someone plays arcade style to win a tournament, does not mean he is not a "SIM" gamer. When money is up for grabs you do what it takes to win.

Very good info

I would love to see a future Blog where Ian is just trying to break the pocket dancing around for as long as he can.

Have like Two Test Qbs

Roethlisberger and Manning to show the differences and make it clear you better use the pocket and get it out quick if your using a pocket passer

Id love to see Roethlisberger be able to evade pass rushers the way he actually does it(People Fall off him)

Maybe but I guess I have just enough morals not to stoop to such a level, but I never said I was normal either.

There was a guy wr direct snapping me all game online, I didn't quit or retaliate with it back. Stooping to a cheesers level is unacceptable, money on the line or not, its a thing of pride and morals. Might just be a video game but I look at my morals the same way in real life.

I somewhat disagree with you on this becuase I have played in Madden tourney and was in the final 8 (out of 104) players by playing "Sim". I lost to another sim player (10-7) as well. It is possible. You don't have to resort to that, but in reality, a lot of people will. Depends on your playing style.

Same thing happened to me. You can't stoop that low, just counter it. I had a CB on the LOS waiting for him to snap it, hit sticked him real good and he coughed it up and I took it to the house. Consequently, he quits.

LOL, I don't stoop to those levels online either, but if I am playing someone for $50 and he starts Nano-blitzing and fullback diving, I am certainly going to do the same thing. If not you are pretty much just giving away money, and if that represents morals to you then you should give the $50 to the local charity and not the gaming tourney.

p.s. For the record I don't play for money nor do I attend Madden tournaments.

Yes, some Sim gamers will continue to play that way in tournaments I'm not doubting that fact. I'm simply saying that the way someone plays at a tournament does not reflect how they may play outside of such events.
