Madden NFL 17 Defensive Gaps, Alignment, Assignment, Technique, Blocking & Much More

I couldn't find a definitive answer to this, but will we now have actual line stunts?

This is amazing. As some one that has played D1 college football, this is legit. All of the terms they used we used as well. It will be awesome seeing this in action. I wished they would have given us a video to coincide with the blogs. I really hope I will be able to use real football knowledge to beat cheesers online.

Madden really got this right. I played safety in college and the first thing we did was identify the strength of the offense as indicated by the blog. The auto flip feature is HUGE!!!!!! I would manually do this on ever play. Next I would have to know what kind of run fit player I was. Usually it was a force or cutback in Cover 3 or a pass first fill player in cover 2. I am blown away that got all of this in the game. I salute you madden.

From what I read it still sounds like we can't force our #1 CB to follow their #1 WR. Which is sad.
But atleast we got some much needed improvements.

Don't assume.

My notes taken from this blog...

- Love that they explain what ratings will drive what.

-Especially that PRC for the "contain" player is reversed (unless it's a mistype), in that the higher this rating is, the more agressive the player will be making him "over play".

- As has been always, "90" is the top shelf level to get the most out of a players ability/rating (remember that roster editors, as it holds true in M16 now)

- love that choosing the correct play has a major role in the success of players on the defensive side.

Looking good!!!

I'm very interested to see how this plays out. It'll definitely be a WIP project, but the fact that we have Alignment, Assignment, and Technique in this year's installment is awesome! Haven't heard that since the old college football days, so for us former athletes, and football nerds we're ready!

One thing im going to be looking out for is how the Madden team chooses to separate the STUDS from the fringe players when it comes to these specific ratings. I'm hoping we will see a legit difference between a Suh type and a ordinary Joe Blow.
