I didn't know it went back that far. Wow!!! Well, do you guys think it actually IS fixed now? lol Man, I had a little hope that it actually was fixed this time, but rdlife, just ruined that for me by posting this. Now I see they've been saying this since Madden 08.

08? It goes back farther than that bro. Here is a preview of Madden 06. http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3140898&p=1

My favorite quote from the preview:

"You'll also see some slight alterations made to the defensive side of the ball. Madden NFL 2006 will include what the developers are calling "adaptive A.I.," meaning if you keep calling the same play over and over again, defenders will begin to recognize this and adjust their schemes. And finally, you'll witness gang tackles."

lol, yeah I know the "gang tackles" and "adaptive AI" promises go all the way back to the PS2 days. To their credit though, they did finally get gang tackles in on 10. The whole next gen section in that article is funny lol. A few of my favorite parts from the next gen section:

Quote:

First off, you've never seen this kind of detail in a sports game before: shirts wrinkle at the player's stomach region, you can actually see the threads from where they sewed the player's last name onto the jersey. Then zoom onto the face and you'll be treated to scars, beard stubbles, and even blood-shot eyes

Quote:

Better yet, EA's Jeremy Strauser promises that the final product -- when the stadium is filled with 22 players on the field, coaches, benchwarmers, refs, and fans -- NFL players won't lose any of these itty-bitty yet fantastic-looking details.

Quote:

Strauser adds that with the XB360 version, crowds will be fully 3D (it's about time!) and react to what's happening on the field, so, say, those sitting near the end zone will jump up from their seat if a touchdown is scored in their section of the stadium.

Looking back on stuff like this, you can't help but lol.

Hopefully, the over-the-shoulder catches have been fixed so the receivers catch in stride. On Madden 10, the receivers would slow down and sort of jump to catch in this manner (these catches were even displayed in the Goal Line Fade plays). These catches should resemble the current-gen style with the follow through in stride.

Wake me when it's August.

ou can break out of catches early, and you rarely (if ever) will have it happen to you where a good player just runs right out of bounds without getting his feet in or cutting upfield (oh yeah – the ability to cut upfield is ratings-based as well so that’s pretty cool).

This is an area that has always been lacking in Madden, so it is very encouraging to see what has been done this year. It adds more of the exciting feeling to the game all the while helping to differentiate the better receivers from the rest.

The catch in the endzone has to be the best looking catch I’ve ever seen in a football game. The fluidity of it is amazing, and it just looks incredibly natural.





If i was Ian i will be very embarrassing by the comment i made in 08 and now
