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

04:56 PM - May 4, 2009 by buddyhobbs321813

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

Quote:


	"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."

True, I'm not worried about anything right now to tell you the truth, I think this dev team is like a greased up cheetah on a water slide... (?)

I think they'll have it all handled.

Oh damn! That's what I want to know about as well. Maybe next couple of blogs. Maybe another way of utilizing stick skills for a receiver?

That pro-tak stuff looks pretty good.

One thing I was wondering though. If I have a ball carrier rapped up, can I take control of a guy and attempt to strip the ball out of his hands? The controller has a user strip button, so shouldn't we be able to use that to strip instead of going in for the pile-up? I see this all the time in the NFL when a player gets stood up. That's why when ball carriers get into a lot of traffic they just dive forward.

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.

explain to me how entrance vids and gameplay screenshots posted in the last two weeks don't equal "new game related info"?

I hope this works as well as advertised.

Any chance Pro Tak could do a sled animation like Turner did to Kansas City last year?

Somebody please confirm this so we never have to see another colored cleats post. My guess is it wont make it or they would have announced with colored gloves/ hand warmers. I mean essentially it is the same type of minor visual improvement.

I would cry if i saw this in game.

I would name my future son after you Ian!!! (Ian Anderson, has a nice ring to it!!)

Why do the helmets look so washed out? I understand the sun is shining in the game, but it doesn't look real at all. The black on the Ravens helmet practically looks opaque.

I never saw anything like it, he dragged him for more than 5 yards and actually sped up during it.

# 96 kmart2180 @ 05/04/09 06:59 PM

Simply, Amazing stuff Ian & Co!!!

This years Madden has got to be the biggest improvement from a Madden game from a year to year bases. I am always pumped for a new madden game to come out but this one is honestly over exceeding any game I have ever wanted.

The gangtackling was great but what really made me happy was the last video. Man that lineman blocking video was Amazing. Huge upgrade in terms of blocking/Rushing the passer.

In the Ravens video it almost seems like the cleats have some purple on it.

ummmm...WOW!

I agree i dnt want him being unstoppable..but i dnt want the game to have to be adjusted by sliders from the outset either...weve only seen a handful of vids so we cant make our assesments yet
