Madden NFL 10 Blog: Letting the "Wildcat" Loose

09:10 PM - April 27, 2009 by Ian_Cummings

The latest Madden NFL 10 blog is online. Letting the "Wildcat" Loose.

Quote:


	"Throughout the season we have witnessed many different teams use variations of the Wildcat, but no one used it more effectively and extensively as the Miami Dolphins. In the Dolphins version of this offense, they placed running back Ronnie Brown at the �Quarterback� position. They then lined up running back Ricky Williams at slot receiver, and often times brought him in motion to either receive or fake a handoff from Brown. The Dolphins also use an unbalanced line by moving the left tackle over to the right side of the formation and lining him up next to the right tackle. The Tight End moves down to replace the left tackle and is still an eligible receiver because he is on the end of the line and uncovered (You�ll see a good video example of this below) by another receiver."

a bit off topic, but i turned on my comp and some spyware protect 2009 kept coming up and im running malwarebytes...long story short after 2 mins 166 things are infected lol its a shame cuz i know a lot of them are still there even after i ran spysweeper...that POS

. but on topic...the eagles have run this numerous times and im hoping its as effective as in real life...touchdown interception returns and blown timeouts included

The playbook guys actually just recently came up with a list of plays that they determined as 'wildcat stoppers' so we could tag them for the CPU to use in Adaptive AI (and just normal play-calling AI). When they're more sure with those plays and the game is in better shape, maybe we can release videos in a blog of those plays vs. the Wildcat.

You mfer, it was Charles and A.J

Im pretty sure there are other ways to prevent cheese out of this formation too.

One more question, how fast will the CPU adjust to someone using wildcat?

I hinted at it, but talked with the playbook guys, they have some stuff they want to show so we'll have to wait.

Happened to me a few months ago. They wanted me to pay $40 so I can remove the Virus. Which is BS, cause that is a virus.

Oh and my PC is dead now. That thing turned to the conficker worm...

Yes the 100 mph 360 Turn, coupled with the sonic speed up/down field was something I saw in the NCAA 10 Pursuit vids and was hopeing those wouldn't show up in Madden

Defiantly need to work on those

One complaint I had was that when you score a td, can the cpu just take over and do a random celebration instead of running around with your arms dangling past your knees until you press a button?

HA, I was kinda thinking the same thing when I saw Ronnie Brown score that TD. I would just rather have a nice slow down to a jog animation and maybe a celebrate with a teammate or something, some butt slaps.

Im sorta sick of these crazy dances, maybe im just out of that stage now or something.

But since there are refs now... Im cool with, once they pass the goaline a simple, slow down (Sorta like MLB when they reach 1st Base) to a jog, maybe celebrate with 3 teammates, hand the ball the the ref and job back to the sideline.

Barry Sanders Style.

I'd like to see that when you press Y or triangle but only for certain players who don't celebrate like Jason Witten etc. etc.

A nice toss the ball to the ref celebration.

madden needs waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more group/team celebrations.

most you ever see is two guys high fiving. every nfl game i see big group huddle celebrations, the smaller players jumping into the linemans arms, etc. madden needs to add these instead of the dang soulja boy.

I was actually quite surprised (and had to re-boot ).

With always 4th down set? Does this mean it was done in practice mode and that it has a little more depth? This is a question iv'e been wondering about for a while now.

Great addition to Madden 10. Teams like Oakland, Minnesota and obviously Miami can really make this effective. Maybe the Titans will even implement a package for Vince Young and Chris Johnson man that would be nasty.

It says that Kane just changed from a look of disgust to approval! He is now following Ian's status as well!

# 140 Obelysk @ 04/27/09 11:10 PM

WOw awsome but that players in Madden 10 looks so much slower than the ones on the video.

I know I will be using that speed slider intensively.
