Gang Tackling Challenge Response (from Ian Cummings)

[trendsetter09]

One more thing. Can we see more wrap up tackles? Big hits dont happen as often in the real game as they do in Madden.

Great job Ian.

good job Ian, the tackling is looking good man. keep working at it, youre going up against against a beast in 2k5's tackling engine. but overall madden is looking to be the best version ive seen in a long time.
i never gave madden the bird or spit at it LOL, but its gone from a sure no purchase to a sure purchase for me this year

Top notch Ian. Love the honesty, which gives faith to us that you all are working to address the issues.

I gotta say, you should get a raise, because I think you might of honestly saved madden for a bunch of us here.

Good work brother

P.S. the tackling looks great

appreciate the contact and honesty.....but it took all of this to get your team to realize those tackling problems? Does anyone ever actually play the game?

Thats what is so frustrating to me, things that as you say can be fixed and greatly improve gameplay, but have been ignored year after year while apparently spending time adding other dumb features.

Again I do appreciate the honesty and hopefully these are the first steps in the right direction.

Thank Ian..But thank Lbz

Lbz knows the ins and outs of many different aspects of the game. I have had the priviledge to talks to him a lot over the past years..He should be categorized as a genius haha.

And thanks Ian, the outreach is amazing...You guys could sit in your cubicles and say "Screw it, madden will sell..who cares what gamers thinK".

But coming on the forum, and actually having discussion with us..is a huge step in the right direction.

Thank you both!

Spend 50 weeks a year working on the game, working on two versions at once for a part of the time, listening to the grips and complaints, and find the motivation to get home and play a game. I would not blame them one bit if they didn't play it.

Work at McDonalds for 3 years and see if you can stomach their food.

Great job Ian!!!

Thank you for your efforts. The communication between you and us at OS is really paying off. You just HAD to add that you were working on some "super secret stuff". Lol. We're already super anxious as it is. You're killin' me!!

Side note: I noticed that my rival ravens have black shoes on the video. I'm sure LBzrule will be charged up.
