Wow, how did you manage to play APF that much?!

i think ea realizes its hardcore contingent are the ones who keep coming back and spend the most time on the game.. so there looking to appease us first. Any real football fan does not need a tornado icon under justin tuck to know he is that good

Yeah, it's a good thing the Eagles got Peters; In my chise I'll have to deal with Ware and Osi every season.

Pro-Tak is also working hard in every passing situation because it is the cornerstone of pass rushing defenders, blocking lineman and the quarterback. For example, Pro-Tak appears to have finally slain suction blocking and the dreaded 15-yard drop back. Animations between offensive and defensive linemen are much more fluid and lifelike –- with the war not being won simply by offensive linemen making contact.


I thought this was some very good news and possibly something that has not really been talked about all that much. I didn't know they confirmed pro-tak to be used as an intricate part of the o-line and d-line interaction. So does this confirm double teaming on the o-line? If you can get a 4 on 4 situation on a tackle I am hoping we can get a 2 on 1 in the trenches.

Online play, that's where the game shined.
I think it was burned in around the 400 game mark and only got worse from there on out. As it stands now, on any white screen, I get to see the beautiful APF2K8 score bar. 2K owes me a 3.5k television!

However, before getting to those features, I must mention that on Monday I wrote that the unofficial theme for NCAA Football 10 will be customization. Well, when it comes to Madden 10 I believe the theme will be "immersion." From the first moment you put the game in your console to the moment you take the field, immersion will be the goal.
