What is Impact Blocking?

Basically kick out blocks and blocking on the second level. Good trait for fullbacks, TEs, guards, and maybe RT.

I've always assumed it was the parallel to hit power for defenders.

I always thought of carry as the counter to that.

FMT's team proves this wrong. LeSean has a 96 carry rating i think and still fumbles ATLEAST once a game against him

He has fumbled once a game this season except the AZ game where he barely got any touches. MADDEN PROPHECY!


But yeah, you can add an asterisk after every post for the 9ers defense.

This is turning into a 5th grade Sex Ed class. Amazing.

What does it mean when the ball goes into the endzone?

I get so depressed every time I go to upgrade my corners. They get no points.

 

[Splat]

I get depressed trying to make Taylor Mays useful in coverage. in the 50's for both Play Recognition and Awareness

 

[levious]

why not just focus on his zone coverage at first?

 

[Trasher]

Jason Hanson has 97 awareness. Holy fuck. I should put him at safety!

If you want to get rid of him I could offer you a trade. I don't want to have my SS's in coverage at all so he works well for me.

Nah I'm not looking to trade him, he's awesome. And I am working on zone stuff first, but he's terrible at the other things at times. I might just crank his hit power who knows

Interested in a swap with Leonhard? He's pretty good in coverage.

Isn't Impact Blocking the likelihood of pancaking someone?

That's what I thought too, but to be honest i don't know a ton of shit :-/ Is ball carrier vision useful at all if you're controlling the guy?

 

[Trasher]

I bet all of these upgrades actually do nothing to the game. It's probably just one gigantic troll from EA!

 

[McNei1y]

It's interesting seeing other people have these questions too. I was even talking in the NHL party chat a couple of days ago about what "Release" is. I actually had no idea. I mean it makes sense since it was explained to me but I always thought Acceleration and Agility where about that.

I still don't know what BCV, IB, and one another attribute that I can't think of are all about.

 

[Trasher]

Yeah I feel like a lot of them blend in together and seem pretty much the same. For example Play Recognition and Awareness. Aren't those sort of the same thing? What's more important?

 

[Sokantish]

Okay Drizzler just helped me out a bunch, you guys are in trouble now.

We know awareness is the x factor multiplier to increase over. You can have two identical players, X have 50 awr and Z have 90 awr and player X is a 75 and player Z is an 85.

Certain stats translate regardless of ovr and awr. speed, hit power, throe power, kick power and inj. These attributes always translate tangibly on field.

Does awareness actually have any impact on the field, or is it just for the cosmetic overall rating upgrade?

 

[DCX]

Play recognition could just be a multiplier for man/ zone CV and pursuit.

I think Trasher's got it right.

IDK. EA has never revealed the purpose. If you test CB to comeback routes with low awr vs high awr will they react better? Idk. Then again maybe its the play recognition that makes it work. So then testing high PR with low or high rating CBs on comebacks. Maybe CBs with low awr and PR vs high in awr and PR.

Might be the only way to test. It might be all bullshit and CBs with high speed get to defend the comeback better than those with high in either attribute.

Its magic dust.

Okay are you ready? Or is your "power out" still?

Hey, that's not the point. You helped me fix some stuff that I shouldn't have been doing and for that I thank you

If I'm able to bake a cheesecake while playing Drizzler I think you should be able to work and play Madden at the same time.

Bitch, I just told you what IB is! BCV is ball carrier vision. It's the back's ability to see the field/blocks/holes. Almost useless for player controlled backs.

Acceleration is how fast a player can go from dead stop to full speed. If someone is jamming them, it's moot. Agility is the ability to move laterally without changing too much speed.

I explained a few pages back the best attributes for WRs. Before we even started this knowledgefest. But nah, y'all just want to look at speed and maybe catch. smh

Correct.

Fine, I might have to pause though or even back out. If you can deal with that we can play. Can you deal Suzy Homemaker?

When I get back, I'll go through all the attributes, which are important for which position, and which are unimportant.

Hopefully, I don't detail everything for no reason.
