The locomotion is a step in the right direction, but I think Madden needs a new physics engine to prevent players from doing this. Even if that is possible in the retail game he should of slipped or at least stumbled a little because making a plant like that and switching directions should be nearly impossible especially in the rain.

That may be it...

I know they spread the ratings but having low AWR isnt gonna cut it(when it doesnt effect anything) especially when you have a rookie with damn near 99 speed, accl and agility....

i would love to see some evidence of a cultural shift on the madden team in regards to the way they plan and manage title updates. As an observer it appears that they lack foresight and shoot from the hip on a lot of this stuff. They've shown time and time again that they don't have the resources to deliver projects within the 1 year cycle. why not move projects to a two year cycle and daisy chain the releases. This way EA can market its annual buzzwords, but actually release a fully functional feature set each year.

I say this because simply hiring someone with a great vision of what the game should be isn't enough. The project management philosophy for Madden just seems to lack a long term plan. I'm talking about building a pipeline of innovation that is built on realistic time frames.

That is no excuse what so ever. You name a quick and nimble RB that does not plant when he changes direction on similar turns.

It hasn't been IMO of course.

And w/o sayin all that you should've just said this..."there is no way that should've happen...especially with a average RB...in the rain"...remember Simpler,Quicker,Deeper

I like what I am seeing so far.

Will we be able to trade gameplans?
