Re: New speed curve = Poor Pursuit Angles

This was in the Xbox/PS2 version of '08 but I don't remember it in the 360 version. It's odd that it would appear a year later on the nex-gen consoles.

Question, how bad is the momentum meter in '09? I found that in '08 (regular Xbox) the pursuit angles and speed of the opposing D would be come atrocious when you had full momentum and vice versa.

Hell, I was just playing a game two days ago in '08 on Xbox, UConn (me) vs Louisville. I was down 17-14 at the half, they got a pick-six on my first possession of the third quarter and gained full momentum. After that my defense was a joke and I lost 66-28. Guys taking off angles, running slower, never breaking off a block. They had four 2nd half TD's of greater than 40 yards.

The term "gamekiller" gets thrown around way too much, IMO, but the momentum in '08 definitely was one.
