I agree.. however the guy confirmed on the last question they won't be putting it in the game this year.. guess maybe next year?

Nice!! This can open up a wide variety of moves that can be pulled off.

This looks really awesome. Thumbs up.

This is awesome! This is excactly what Madden needs to add some life into the franchise. We've been using the same controls since 05 so this should make to game feel fresh while adding more control to the user. Is it me or did EA maybe get this idea after seeing how Backbreaker's controls will be?

Looks good! I hope that a perfect lean trumps the hitstick when ratings allow for it. In M10, you just can't truck a good hitstick and it bugs me. Sometimes your massive HB/FB should be able to trump a CB's hitstick if you both time it just right. Looks like that may happen this year and I'm looking forward to it. It'd limit some of that user D excessively taking over the game (I do it myself).

Totally agreed. That said, I'm in hog heaven. I'm just glad they have caught up with the other EA games controls. Fifa, NHL and Fight Night have been doing this to great acclaim for far too long for the Madden/NCAA series to not take the plunge. But it would have been so cool to see it on both sides of the line. Maybe next year! Now I'm just hoping to see the OL/DL and WR/CB interaction and I'll be really stoked. Still wondering about that NCAA vid, though....
