I have heard people say that it shouldn't be frequent, but get real... the majority of plays up the middle should result in a multi player tackle at the end of the run. To make matters worse, one of the more prominent moments where I saw it in action was very strange; It happened right after a reception, the wr turned up field and got in a "fight for every yard" situation with no momentum after the turn and near the sideline caught between a safety and a chasing db haha... I really have to stop or i'll be labeled a ***** All said, I am buying this game!

Nice thing is, it's something they built in a way to tune it very easily, so I expect we'll see improvements. It was happening WAY too much at CD, so it's sort of a matter of finding the happy medium between then and now.

I really hope they are doing some tuning Adem; although it seems really risky to do anything major being so close to final. I wonder if they can do further "tuning" through patches after release. I would think so.

Very good writeup from Pasta. I'm excited

running the ball is my favorite aspect of the game. so if the run game is indeed broken this year as it was last year, this is a no buy for me.

I still say you just stink at running Pasta. I didn't have nearly as much trouble running the ball as you did. You = garbage.

True story: I saw Pasta accept money directly from several EA developers during E3....This story and more coming up on the 11 o'clock OS Report.

lol...but of course you, as a fine upstanding OS reporter, would never accept such "gifts." This stinks of misdirection.

Why No Offline Franchise from the Pastapadre?

I haven't seen anyone from E3 really say anything new about.

He addressed that earlier in this thread, I believe. He said it's hard to dive into in the E3 environment and all that.

EDIT: of course, given Chase's "breaking news", it could all be a massive cover-up from a known EA stooge...lol
