Great idea. I would imagine there would be a lot of unintentional stiff arms as people get used to no turbo, lol.

I vote for this idea!

It makes sense and after getting some practice with it, it would fit in perfectly with the new system.

@Bootzilla LOL, Like trying to move your arm after its been cut off.

Well, not quite. If u press up with the right stick, for more of an elusive runner, it will randomly do an animation that may include a spin and u don't necessarily have control over when it will happen. Not the same deal here.

That's been a problem in Madden for awhile now. However some of the animations where the HB slides over a tackle are just from old footage, and we haven't had the opportunity to see the new footage yet. It was one of the first things I noticed from the Drew Brees videos.

The locomotion looks much better in NCAA at this point because they are about a month ahead of Madden in terms of development. You should refer to the new NCAA videos to get a more accurate assesment of what it will end up looking like. IMO it looks great and I think it will make a world of difference in the gameplay.

Also, I completely agree that Madden should make stiff arm right trigger since it is not vacant. Someone with a Twitter should send that suggestion to Ian and direct him to this thread.

Did and done. Cant hurt for more people to hit him on twitter with it though.

How do you know its old footage? your saying the "new" footage that came out is "old"?

Usually it's from older builds. Unless we know an event is recent, we shouldn't take the build as is.

I guess we will wait till E3 to make judgements on gameplay footage

# 31 marshallfever @ 04/27/10 10:27 PM

For some reason I don't think this dual stick control is going to play out exactly how i think it should or imagine it should. It seems as if it doesn't matter how you pivot your upper body when their tackling animations are just that, animations and not physics based.

# 32 johnnyg713 @ 04/27/10 10:36 PM

Im guessing certain tackle animations trigger according to the move your doing?? Maybe lol

# 33 statum71 @ 04/27/10 11:01 PM

I like it Ian.

Of all things Madden, I really like this. If they don't botch it this could be a nice feature that can be expanded down the line.

Actually no sir, that is false. With any back if you spin the stick it will result in a spin. Try it out. In NCAA its a juke then a spin. It's not just random, it's just being brought out to the public like my man said in an earlier post. I'm not hating it, im just saying they are trying to make it seem new when its technically not. Sure, it might be more responsive but, its not new. I am hyped for the new trucking animations however. That's IF it works like its supposed too. And thats a big IF.

Agreed. Of everything I know about Madden so far, this is the one thing I'm looking forward to the most. Running is fundamental to the game. If you don't get it right, then how can the game ever effectively represent the game of football.

I don't quite understand how you different moves and body leans yet, so I hope they explain that in more detail somewhere down the line. I like they they showed you can lean away from hits to protect the ball. It will be an awesome tool if they get it to work.
