Madden NFL 10 Blog: A Deeper Look into PRO-TAK

05:56 PM - May 4, 2009 by buddyhobbs321813

EA has posted another Madden NFL 10 blog. This time Ian takes a deeper look into PRO-TAK.

	"Welcome back to another Monday blog Madden fans! Talk about an eventful couple of weeks in Madden-land�our first Season Preview event on Thursday 4/24, our cover athletes revealed on Friday 4/25 (including a cool guest appearance by Larry Fitzgerald on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon), the NFL Draft, and last week we even released a blog on the Wildcat formation. We�re hard at work trying to finish the game while still balancing our media release schedule, so with this week�s blog, it seemed like a good opportunity to dive deeper into one of our most important gameplay features for the year: PRO-TAK."

Gang tackling looks good, but they have some work to do with Cowboys players equipment etc.

I wish T.New was in the vid and not the "selective" tackler Mike Jenkins

Yo I want to see some stuff like this in Madden. . .

Pay attention to the ball strip 1:47 of this video:

I need violence in my tackles and right now I don't see it.

Try Backbreaker when it comes out

It was "ok"....Nothing had me excited in that blog. I'm not hating, but I was never really that intrigued with the Pro Tak tech. I wish they would have talked a little more about the OL/DL interaction. Otherwise, I'll wait for the presentation/franchise blog.

In the Ravens video is Ed Reed pulling him backwards at the end? I hope the majority of players, especially the good ones like Reed, pull the ballcarrier backwards Id hate to see a player that comes from behind the pile push the pile forward and have the same effect as a offensive linemen moving the pile.

# 66 CapnKill @ 05/04/09 07:09 PM

Looks good.

So will you be able to try and strip the ball out of a ball carriers hands while he is engaged in a gang tackle?

id bet that its on like rokie or pro and its just to show how gang tackling looks, so were sure its not just a bunch of guys standing and running at someone...dont worry so much if you guys think of so many problems dont you think ian thought of them before as well? just chill lol

id cry if you could reach the ball over the goal line or maybe even take the ball from a rb attempting to stretch that extra yard or two...its risky business holding out the ball or being in a position for someone to try and take the ball from you in a vulnerable position like being stood up or at the goal line

# 70 Nature_Boy @ 05/04/09 07:13 PM

Everything looks great.

# 71 TreyIM2 @ 05/04/09 07:13 PM

Uhh, I really don't think there will be a Backbreaker game, buddy. There hasn't been any new game related info in an extremely long time. I almost believe that this was all a ploy to show EA what they are missing out on by not acquiring the tech.
Whatever the case, I don't think there will be a Backbreaker game. I could be wrong but I really don't think so. And I also think that now that EA is making HUGE strides with Madden, Backbreaker won't stand a chance of even coming close, especially with NO NFL LICENSES. It'll be another APF 08 which was a dud...and an UGLY, PS2 looking, no new tech of a dud, at that.

Lendale needs to do some rope drills, he's running a little high through the hole and It would be nice to see more of a cut than a turn. The tackle on him is not too unbelievable IMO, he should not be at full speed at the point, especially after he makes a "cut".

# 74 TreyIM2 @ 05/04/09 07:15 PM

Dude, it's early May. Game doesn't release til Aug. 14th. Settle down.

# 75 c dizzy m baby @ 05/04/09 07:15 PM

Also what is the frequency of the the huge gang tackles compared to the frequency in real NFL football?

lmao...seriously I didnt notice your name was "backbreaker"...I just was saying since you wanted real serious hits, try the game Backbreaker lol...cause those games really deliver those tackles you might be looking for...but nah I'm not trying to take a shot at you..I really didnt even notice your name being backbreaker honestly...

Game goes gold soon so get amped!!!

# 78 TreyIM2 @ 05/04/09 07:22 PM

My quoting isn't working - dougduece, yea, the "going gold" does happen before that but that won't be til about mid July. Still 2 months til final code! Lol. I am geeked for this ****in' game, for real!!!!

# 79 marcoyk @ 05/04/09 07:25 PM

The Lendale White tackle looked a little off as all of his momentum was stopped by a tackle from the side, but everything else looked great. Can't wait for August.

It is because of the angle he took to the tackle. No way Landry stops all 235lbs. (yeah right, lol) at that angle. White would just fall into the endzone.

Ian says it's being tuned so all's good.
