Run Blocking Improvements

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

  • PS2 Owner wanting to have and Xbox 360

    Is it available for the PS2?

  • O-Line Small Problem

    I like the improvements but it’s not as realistic as I expected. The offensive line and defensive lines are both preached to “stay low.” I would like to see more knee bend and technique out of the line but it is still a vast improvement from Madden 09 and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it.

  • I WANT TO see more realistic trash talking.. if they going to make this madden look realistic .. they got a long way to go!

  • They’ve made alot of improvements and in the NFL linemen don’t do the correct technique ever so this is close to the real thing

  • i play dline in highschool and that is evactly what this looks like ppl upright, terrible footwork, but it dont matter cuz thats not the focus this year its presentation and glitter. next year they will keep the presentation and make major changes to game play, they already started with gang tackles. I think the only way the progammers will learn is if the get some pads and a football and start hitting. ( I STILL LOVE EA AND MADDEN)

  • I hope they fixed all those glitches that 2009 had. QB walk glitch, etc. Madden is the greatest game ever but the glitches drove me nuts this year.

  • im really surprised this is a huge step compared to last years game cant wait for madden this year
