Ding ding ding! We have a winner folks!

Well done tyler289, Big Ben in fact has the highest throw on the run rating for Madden 10.

More gameplay additions that were overdue. Great work and look forward to seeing it all in action. Hopefully the lack of accuracy leads to more incompletions and not more interceptions across the board.

Not entirely unexpected; he deserves it after his performance this past season.

Here's the Cowboys fan in me hoping that my boy Tony Romo gets much love.

How about "Throwing in the grasp".....Is there any rating for that or is it a universal system for everybody...and the timing and effects are the same for everybody..perhaps the strength rating plays a role???

again exhibit A...1st play

Thanks Ian!!!!!

All the QB improvents sound incredible! I also like the way you said if the QB is hit while throwing, the ball could fly up and create a very dramatic moment with the defense trying to intercept it. This is EXACTLY what I was talking about in that ball physics thread a few weeks ago! Hopefully this applies to balls being tipped at the LOS or by DB's or WR's as well.

This sounds good, my only concern is that if deep ball QB accuracy is too good it may be very easy to just throw deep posts all day long. This should be tested a ton.

Like I said, some QB's are just better at this than others...

This was my only concern, and you nailed it...I'm pre-ordering...cause I already know my animated hand towels made the cut...lol

Awesome news Ian! Wow, I'm really impressed with the new system.
