After watching that video, I would love to see EA program in a small but very important animation - defensive end swats. Notice how when the end beats the tackle, and the QB is about to throw, he will reach his arm out to try and deflect the pass or strip the ball while in the motion of throwing? This would make d-lineman a LOT more effective, and would add more strategy to the game. As it stands, you can be standing in pocket basically hip to hip to a defender, and throw a pass with no reprocussions. Make us pay for holding on to a ball for that long, and allow the ball to be stripped at a certain point!

Please stop with the BB praise in a thread about a Madden video. I'm tired of it already......you don't want me to say what I honestly feel about BB. I'm leaving it at that. Peace.

This seriously. First time I came here I thought it was the All Pro/2K5 boards. When I commented on this, I got reported and a notification or something for "trolling". These boards are ridiculous lol

agree with spankdatazz, these guys don't know what to do, showing off animation s that I was used to 5 years ago, toe dragging, big deal, we 2Kers have been dragging toes for years, with several animations covering it.
Tell us something worthwhile, new game engine with more capabilities, better defensive ai, better scaling, and psychics, and instead of 25 characteristics, of which 2 count, how about showing acceleration, agility, strength, that mean something?
And please, one of these years, since you have never done it in 22 years, realistic touch passes, and lobs.

Where's the momentum physics? When the green bay player breaks tackles, his speed isnt affected, nor was his balance?? He just broke thru two tackles and kept running like no one ever touched him.

When is the last time you saw a player break 2 tackles and not have his balance, direction, or speed affected? This type of gameplay just isnt acceptable anymore, not from a game supposedly mimicking the NFL.

I loved that pancake by the dolphins lineman, pretty animation. I still wish the DEs would rush upfield harder.

We need a new dedicated Madden board. Where people talk about madden. and not incessantly bash it.

Because obviously. This board isn't working. Every second third fourth post is about BB, 2k5, or bashing.
