Madden NFL 10 Blog: Blocking Improvements Part 2 - The Run Game

[MrNFL_FanIQ]

Excellent stuff again. The game play looks (on paper at least) like it is going to be excellent.

Hopefully the game gets a good franchise mode so that playing these games can mean something.

For the 3-4 OLB stance people, yes I pushed and was a nuisance about it. The stance is fixed. So there should not be anymore threads about it. And we can go ahead and give them props for fixing it. We notice things when they are wrong, but we are slow to pick up when things are right.

Also the ILB depth is right on the money. Good job AW. The play side ILB is showing blitz, but the backside guy has the correct depth and plays well coming across the formation.

For those that can't see the blog at work, this site has a recap (but not the whole blog or all the videos).

That's the only thing I'm waiting to hear about so I can make my decision. How improved is franchise? And I know presentation is going to be awesome

Looks decent in slow mo.

Ian, are you guys working on the player proportions/size. Almost all players seem to be stumpy and pretty much the same height. The linemen vs the LB, the LB seem to be the same height as the Linemen. The D-line (when tackling Portis) seem to be a bit bigger than the RB, but about the same height.

You'll find out at E3. We're also hoping to see some extra presentation info at E3.

I like the endzone paint in practice mode. Just had to mention it.
