EA’s plans for Madden 2010′s run blocking improvements include:
- Added 50+ new blocking animations
- Added the ability for the blocker to turn and seal a run hole or a backside defender
- Added the ability for the blocker to drive a defender in a direction relative to the run hole
- Added the ability for long blocking animations to be procedurally steered via PRO-TAKâ„¢
- Added branching technology to break out of a block at ANY TIME (including before the blocker even gets there)
- Changed mechanics for block disengages / special moves to be all R-stick driven
- Tuned and tweaked tons of other stuff
