Sounds like it works different than 2Ks. In the video Ian said the sack animations take longer, and you'll have the opportunity to hit the stick and break out of the sack. That sounds very neat. 2K's lets you avoid the sack before it starts, not break out of it as it's in progress.

Well, I'm excited that you can plainly see that Ian and crew have been working real hard on this game to make us forget those abominations that were Madden 07-09. I'm very impressed with what i've seen. But it just amazes me that people are complaining about animations in these vids when Ian CLEARLY stated that the animations were being worked on.

Which is nice because Ben shakes guys off. Very rarely does just one guy take him down.

Romo on the other hand avoids contact altogether but doesn't really use his strength to get out of those situations

I hope the two styles are distinguishable

Lmao "cheese"/"abused" are starting to get overly used like "*****" and "placebo"

Which means when a QB is breaking out, the defense is still moving in. So you may break the first tackle, but you still might get hit.

After watching those vids, I'm very much impressed with the progress of the game. And to think that there's 2 months left of tuning....Oh the potential!

The blocking looked great. The pocket, the qb drop back, the animations....I'm very pleased with what I saw. Madden 10 is going to be top notch.

Yeah, this sounds like a pretty neat game play mechanic. With this you should be able to recreate the Eli moment from Super Bowl 42.

Same, he had no clue about any of these new improvements.
