Gang Tackling Challenge Response (from Ian Cummings)

[a4reak]

I liked that you were practicing with the Seahawks in their stadium(empty). Im looking forward to the video tomorrow, thanks for the hard work. Any update on any of the uniform issues specifically the Jets logo on the helmet?

I am shaking my head. This is the first time since the last NFL Fever that a developer had the balls to deal with us. Mad props and good luck with your final product.

Ian great job, I had a quick question about tackling in the last thread not sure if you saw it. So here it is again!


Ian if your still looking at this thread I have another question/comment. Why in the heck does Madden have so many of those damn WWE style shoulder tackles, those take away so much from the realism. If Madden could eliminate those type of "over the top NFL Blitz" style tackles that would be great. Also there is to many of people just grazing each other resulting in a tackle. There are far to many situations where these two type of tackles happen. Very rarely in football if at all will you see the defensive guy make a tackle with out going to the ground, in Madden this happens WAY to much. I hope Im explaining this the right way, if Im not please let me know so some how we can get a video example.

If you could let us know if these types of tackles have been toned down or hopefully removed altogether

He said it wasn't gameplay, so I'm guessing it was something else, but if they had a gameplay guy doing something else I hope it is something that we here will appreciate, and enjoy.

Around 0:54 seconds

Right when the gang tackle animation starts number 67 on Seattle cuts towards a defender.

Maybe its not suction blocking but its weird logic..Especially with the new animations..being able to get out of a tackle, shouldnt the o lineman be following the ball carrier wherever he goes?

Yeah that guy switched his post out on me...it originally talked about suction blocking.

I am working on a big update to post about uniforms...I might actually get one of the guys on the Madden team to get here and post all the updates (there have been a lot). I am pretty sure the Jets logo was fixed in this batch.

Check above, I switched it on accident.

WOAH dude that is WICKED suction...I didn't even notice that when I captured it. I will have to try and repro that tomorrow and get it fixed. Nice find! Want to be a tester Kev5890?
