Madden NFL 10 Blog: Letting the "Wildcat" Loose

[Captain Obvious]

really. if our fat albert doesnt command a triple team than this game is a bust

it does look like a solid double team, maybe even a triple, the guy at the top seems to hand jenkins off when he knows he has no angle to block him.

ians probably still keepin it a secret.

looks good but on that counter play, it looks like the pulling gaurd is pulling behind the play instead of running forward to block, whats up with that???

+1. I also would like to see the goalline dive and helicopter spin toned down or just made more realistic. Maybe with the Pro-Tak this will be possible.

oh and one more thing on the pass play. the LT #65 is kick sliding and driving the defensive end to the outside. it looks beautiful. a little tease of the pocket developing

I really want to see the ability to push the player in mid air while he is diving so that if i hit him early enough he cant get the ball inside the pylon.

It looked like the same dive we've had forever, where he reaches for the pylon as he does an Arnold "Get to the Choppa!!!" dive and roll. It has always been my opinion that that animation triggers far too frequently in pylon diving situations. I want to see more of the "think skinny reach" that ballcarries do so frequently now as they pull their arms to their sides while reaching towards around the pylon and try to tip-toe inside it at the same time... this is hard to explain... I see done a lot among RB's on goal line sweeps. I tried to find a vid but failed miserably. hope you understand what I'm getting at.

Yes especially sense hes a tight end. Cant bigger guys just dive forward like superman?

Loved it, aside from the pylon dive. I believe you could knock someone out of the air while doing it in 09 (to respond to a previous poster) but I don't think that animation itself is realistic or authentic. It looks like there is some magic force that pulls his legs around after in the air, and like others said, players just don't do that on regular basis.

That's a minor gripe though, thanks for the hard work Ian.

Everything looked good expect the last pass play. It doesnt reallly feel that it is a wildcat swept fake pass. Pat white fakes the hand off then stands still. that looks just like a regular playaction and not confusing at all. That last video was NOT good at all and lets please address that.
