Let me take you back to your childhood remember the cartoons, the cereal, playing throw up tackle, or just playing football outside do you ever remember as (a kid) when your friend said "pass me the ball" and he ran too far for you to hit him what did you do.. you tried to pass the ball with all your might and did the HOP STEP to chuck the ball. think about it How many times did you take that hop step pass the football because you knew you couldn't get it down field. Now with that being said show me a QB or a human that can run 30 yards from the line, **** back and hit a perfect 70 yard pass off the back of his foot or running as if he was Joe Montana?


Ea needs to take one of their guys and put them on a field and show us sim guys how you can run backwards and hit the wr in stride. You show me this ill show you a smurf. The only way to stop running qbs is to penalize them for running backwards (this kills the game if your palying vs VY or vick even my boy tony romo) If the qb runs more than 10 yards:
take ten yards off the pass
make the qb do the hop step to pass the ball
make the ball hit the dirt Cb's can only cover for about 5 to 9 seconds depending on the pass rush
Float the ball
Over throw


but do something! Ive been a cowboy fan since the late 70's and ive never see a qb do the things in madden that ive seen on TV. You say “ITS IN THE GAME” then put it in the game. This will make the game very sim were it will force the madden player to make 3, 5, and 7 step drop backs and read the field

I like your vidz, and I agree with your points. But I have one question for you: How did you survive on that bus with all those punks who cheese constantly? Honestly, I tried to watch that show, but I was always so mad at how everyone played and acted it disgusted me.

I always felt that the vision cone was a good solution for this type of issue, but unfortuantely it was axed because too many people found it too difficult to use. It really wasn't you just had to spend about a week or so getting used to it and then it just became second nature.

Anyway, I feel as if this years madden team will adress this issue, snice they seem to be focusing on momentum, locomotion, change of direction, and the overall physics engine. I can't imagine that they would overrsee such a critical issue as not affecting a pass's velocicity and accuracy if thrown off the back foot or while actually running away from the LOS.

another thing in the NFL if a QB were to run backwards the DEs would shoot right donwfield and catch him and sack him before he got 10 yards away. like in your other video of the 2k8 blocking the tackles in the NFL push the DEs past the QB so the QB steps up into the pocket to pass, so if he were to run RBs and the tackles push the end the end would be going right into the QB.

Did anyone play 09?

The new Madden team, before the shipped, penalized QB on All-Pro and All-Madden from going back 15 yds and beyond by making it difficult by hitting your WR's.

My son tried Vince Young against me and he was furious that he couldn't take Vince 30 yds back and hit a WR.

Anyway, maybe there is some other stuff that could be added as well.

That's not the only problem; the reason why you can't get away with that in 2k8 is because the game doesn't give QBs the ability to do that. In 2k8 you need to have your feet set while throwing if you want your passes to have accuracy and zip on them. You also can't throw and sprint at the same time. This is a problem in madden; Qbs are able to throw across their body, off their back foot and while sprinting at full speed.

I wouldn't go as far as saying 2k was immune to this event. There was a video floating around of R. Cunningham launching a 75 yard bomb off his back foot.

I like the video but again you post about something that is being taken care of.

Check out the new QB stats and you will see that the throw on the run stat...yes...that means if a QB tries to throw on the run and doesnt have the stats he will be penalized for trying to do it by not throwing the ball accuratly

Also their is a new passing raduis(or w/e it would be considered) that is also going to help take these issues out of the game.

EDIT:
Please read what the devs have posted then you can rant away...
