Madden NFL 11: Dual Stick Controls Q&A (Gamespot)

[carnalnirvana]

more gimmicks, how about some player tendencies instead, this looks like it is going to be abused

Im glad there still working on the jukes in this game as the last few years they have become stale. Getting closer and closer to 2k's right stick jukes

hmmm i feel this won´t have any really impact in how the game is played.
But i´m guessing..

I can most definitely dig this. Looking good. Hope its implemented well. I have my fingers crossed.

They should have utilized the vacant buttons. For example, letting you reach the ball foward to gain extra yardage.

Definitly a cool idea. This would go really well with the leans as you weave your way through the hole, hit a defender then put your hand out with the ball to reach for the first.

Overall, I like the attention the are putting on this. I can tell they are putting an emphasis on getting rid of 'canned' animations. This will definitely take some time getting use to, because I understand the concept behind 'trucking', but I just want to still feel like I'm in control of when Michael Turner trucks the would-be defender. I feel like, yeah we all will have more control--but in essence this control will be better utilized from a 'shifty' back (Reggie Bush, Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson)...because I can trigger a juke/spin/or lean through a whole, but now, I cant trigger a 'trucking' animation. Maybe I'm looking too much into this, but I hope Michael Turner, Brandon Jacobs, Deagelo Williams still have that trucking ability based on timing just like the new features with leaning, spinning, and jukes are all based on timing.

Also, I'm surprised nobody really mentioned this, but maybe this will eventually help that 'Tron Jogging' because of all the leaning that they are really trying to force you to use. In the videos, I do see that the player does still get kind of straight up, but its definitely a step in the right direction.

Which is a good thing. This look like the NFL2k5 video with TO doing all those jukes. WOW.
