I am not sure I know what you mean here. Those are true 3 man gang tackles in the video I posted - there is no disengaging going on.

LB Ill start a thread but I need you to video some examples of this.

Ian, Thanks again for listening.
You may not even need video - I know what you mean...but again this is actually a pretty big design call so I'd like to discuss it in a separate thread if possible.

I think our definitions differ. What you're calling a 3-man tackle, I'd call a broken tackle followed by a 2-man tackle. At least that's what I'd call that 1st tackle in the vid. Or maybe you meant to type "2". But that's not my issue.

The very 1st tackle in the vid, notice how #20 wraps & #97 pushes/throws. In the very next tackle, #21 wraps & #52 throws. The next one, #21 wraps & #52 takes over & #21 pushes.

I like the animations since they happen in real life, but these seem to be the majority of your gang tackles. 2K leans more towards both defenders wrapping for the duration of the tackle.

A pocket like APF with Qb evade maneuvers for the likes of B-Roeth would be money

I just recently started incorporating using QB evade and am kicking myself for not using it earliar it can get you out of some serious heat and its not done in a way that gives the offense to much advantage.

Good deal! I am looking forward to seeing the gang tackling and the new running animation (vid with Peterson practicing his running ability) live in action. Not cut and paste vids, flat out gameplay showing the aforementioned action. As stated, so far the gameplay vids for 09 did/have not shown anything new.

Thanks
