cmon man you know its not. the plays dont have u choosing the line stunt like in 2k. they look to engage the tackle, then start to loop around. now ill reserve judgment for more videos cause he did say pro tak was off. remember the vid 'blocking' on ign where they were interviewing ian? he was talkin about how they used pro tak for the pocket and it was gorgeous, all it needed was to be sped up, but it brought a tear to my eye.

but i aint holding my breath either, im not gonna get high on this game like i do every year.

Yes, the tackling looks alot better IMO.

There were a few shoelace tackles in the next vid. Now dont get me wrong 2K had good animations but I believe Madden 10 tops them as fr as the multi-man gang tackles. Now Backbreaker looks good and alll, but the guys diving and leaping all over the place doesnt look real. Similarly, the players seem to turn into Rag Dolls once they are hit. I am not trying to start a flame or comparison, I'm just Giving EA props. Not comparing to other games, so please dont start a flame war.

Actually what I meant here is that with Madden's Defensive plays, the line has a pre-set rush behavior, whether it is run or pass. The defensive plays selected in these vids may have the DE's rushing somewhat inward instead of outward and up the field.

ummm what you talkin bout captain? Madden's defensive plays have the Dline in a pre-set rush behavior patter vs run or pass. I'm saying depending on the plays selected for those vids, they may be plays that call for the DE's to shoot inward. There is nothing you can do as a user except audible to the fan call. This is all I mean. See the attachment here. If the person in the vid called a play where the DE's are not moving out and up, I'm saying that maybe the reason why they engage early in these vids.

I look forward to seeing more vids because this one wasn't good.

I think the thing that bothered me the most was that Westbrook and Maclin both lose all their momentum as soon as they are engaged in a tackle. Both should still be moving forward somewhat, and they just get stopped as if their feet are pinned to the ground, then the tackle plays out.

Also that one DB just comes flying in and totally wiffs on the QB sack, which makes him look like a fool. You would think a user was controlling him or something. ;-)
