EA Sports has posted some planned QB improvements for Madden 2010.
New QB Ratings
Our next big change for the QB position was the addition of some new ratings. For countless years we’ve basically had Throw Power, Throw Accuracy, and Awareness as the only ratings for the QB position, so it’s very hard to differentiate the players correctly and have them perform more like their real-life counterparts with just those few. For example, a superstar like Tom Brady or Peyton Manning would previously have a very high Throw Accuracy rating like a 98, well that had to be the case for a 5 yard screen or a 65 yard heave! Here are our new ratings:1. Deep Ball Accuracy: Determines the accuracy on deep passes (streaks, deep posts, etc)
2. Medium Passing Accuracy: Determines the accuracy on medium passes (outs, corners, etc)
3. Short Passing Accuracy: Determines the accuracy on short passes (quick smash, flats, etc)
4. Throw on the Run: Creates a modifier to accuracy when the QB is throwing on the run. Every QB will take some sort of accuracy hit when throwing on the run, but a QB that has a high rating here will take a smaller hit.
5. Play Action: Determines the ‘effectiveness’ of Play Action for a QB, i.e. how often they can fake out or freeze the defense (which is obviously weighted against the defenders Play Recognition ratings)
They also discuss a new layered blending technology, as seen in the video below.
its iight but yall take to long to think about stuff, i think yall be saving some things for new games. it should not have took long to make new qb ratings, matter fact every position should have its own set of rating. for qbs there should also have something call tend. when it shows what the Qb like to do often, like just because someone is fast doesn’t mean they like to scramble, like bratt farve tends should she to throw the ball into coverage allot, which hes gives him allot of touchdown but also allot of pick, pennington on the other had should not like to throw is into coverage which dont give him allot of picks but gives him little touchdowns, tends should change a little throwout carrers but not alllot
ageing show should in fran. and drafted players should have cartoon face instead of no face, or better yet they should have real faces of real people mix, like 2K do.

Finally they put the throw on the run feautre into the game. I hate how they have Tom Brady throwing beautiful full speed run passes but Vince young doesn’t cause his accuracy isn’t as high.
