Likewise, I've heard them say they've fixed locomotion before, specifically momentum, acceleration, and turn radius. I've heard them explain how they've fixed it before. Also, just like the sideline catches, I've seen video of the fixed locomotion before. The problem is, I have never seen any of these things in the game when the game comes out. With these first 2 blogs, I feel like we're in a "been there, done that, bought the T-shirt" mode. I've seen all of this stuff before and even though the proposed fixes for these annual problems are different, the rhetoric remains the same.

I'm going to need to disagree with the same rhetoric as before statement. If you have ever played FIFA, you would know they have a good locomotion engine. Madden ripped the old locomotion out of Madden and put in the new locomotion code from FIFA. FIFA players run as smooth as butter.

My advice for folks who are ringing up the show me don't tell me card( I understand why) on each and every blog, is just to sit and hold tight until August. Otherwise, there is nothing you can do except beat the same card over and over again with every blog.

Segandude has the right tude. Eh, it does rhyme.

That's good news and will definitely add to the feel of the run game.

I thought I might of read something about that in the NCAA blog but, I'm not sure. I'm to lazy to check right now. You have a link or something of him confirming this to you?

Hell yes.

I think this is going to be a great year for football games and it's about time (although I am still playing Madden 10 Online Franchise, haha).

The 2nd video was okay, but nothing to get all excited about yet, same old song & dance as previous years so far.

I can't watch the video, it says available in 1 min except that 1 min never passes.

Yep, I would be in the same mindset as you, but they are using the same proven system that was in FIFA 10 and it was pretty sweet. Also, Ian Cummings confirmed with me that the acceleration is pressure sensitive with the L analog stick. Play FIFA and you'll see what I mean.

However, I would like to see the sideline catching. I don't think there was a video of that actually happening.

Here's my twitter account, you can check my question to Ian.

Then he replied with a Yep.

@ian_cummings will the acceleration work with the left analog stick like in FIFA? pushing up more = faster accel, less pressure = less accel

ian_cummings
@huskerwr38 yep
