-Pass rush mechanics
A new feature called "jump snap" allows for gamers to have a jump start towards the quarterback if timed correctly. If not, people will get the 5 yard penalty.
-Tackling
There are 4 different types of tackling that have been implemented into the game. Pressing A+X makes for a conservative tackle, pressing LT + A/X performs a conservative 'breakdown' tackle (sure tackle) , X is a diving tackle, and using the right stick is the big hit. Just like there was a passing cone for quarterbacks in Madden 06, there is a tackling cone for defensive players. Let's see if this feature will truly make defense more fun.
-Game Prep and Confidence
In this year's Madden game, look out for "confidence" ratings to affect players. Players will have a confidence rating between 1-99. In Madden, a player's confidence can be affected by a number of different factors: whether a player is a starter or backup, margin of victory/loss, and their performance in a big game. If a player's confidence drops below 30, you will see a change in his ratings. If his confidence rating reaches a 75 or higher, his overall rating will increase.
