First up is a feature the developers are calling Pro-tak, Joystiq is reporting this new feature will allow for more realistic defense tackling along with improved evasive maneuvers for the quarter back. Best of all, Pro-tak will allow defensemen to gang up on an opposing player, the result? Up to 9 man gang tackles.

This new feature allows players to tweak the game’s play calling system. Coupled with faster clocks and “streamlined presentation” Madden NFL Your Way will let you make a game as short, or as long, as you want.
