Do You Care About Dangerous Hits in Madden?

Eh, game play with 2k, I am reminded I am playing a video game. They get more right than they get wrong, but there are some glaring issues.

No game is perfect but there's enough there to suspend reality longer than Madden. There's an effort there missing in Madden games.

I'll echo the sentiment that there are many more important things to fix in Madden before I even start to think about dangerous hits. They need to re-program the entire player movement system before they start going in on hits.

I want to be clear I wasn't saying they are on par with one another in game play, but I stopped playing 2k back around January because of my issues with the game.

Of course ppl want to see big hits in a Football game...duh.

"Knowing what we know about concussions and head injuries, is it awkward to want crippling hits in our football video games?"

WTF am I reading here.

I think ppl that are around things too much start to overthink things like this.

I dont mind big hits, its the hit stick that needs to go.

I would have to argue that the hit stick should stay in game, and what needs to be addressed is better animations and player bracing for a hit they are logically aware of, such as a defender coming straight at a ball carrier head on; any real person would brace, lower a shoulder or try to truck through the opposition; in Madden the ball carrier stays upright and runs right into most big hits.
