That looked pretty bad, especially that spin by #11

Otherwise, they should trip and stumble over their own feet and fall on their face. If I go crazy and giggle the analog and make the player do all kind of crazy herky jerky stuff, he should lose his balance and fall over. If you're reading me EA, next gen, start with movement before you even touch making the actual game of football. Gotta learn to walk before you learn how to run a post corner.

That's so true. This is still the same engine so we could not have expected too much. Remember Madden redid their engine last year. NCAA 11 said no such thing. Just Pro-Tak.

Firstly, I'm a Madden guy.

But I've watched 2 new videos of 2 different EA games set to come out and I'm a bit concerned.

The vids I watched are the one in this thread and the new EA MMA trailer. What both have in common is there is too much sliding of the feet.

We are well into next gen now and it looks like EA is struggling to cope with real like foot planting physics. How does a foot slide 1 yard before a player takes off on his run?

Watch from the 0:55 mark in the video, before the player takes off from his successful spin he slides just about 1 whole yard! That is just ridiculous. (Btw, that's not the only one in the vid, just the most obvious)

As I said, I'm mostly concerned for Madden. But that's not on from 2 new videos from EA within a space of a few days. I can't believe they even showed that. It's flat out horrible.

On the other hand, besides for the slide of feet it looks ok. But I still saw what looks to be acceleration problems in the locomotion. Early in the video you see a blocker get rid of the defender then he sprints ahead like he is Chris Johnson.

I hope they fix it before release for your guys sake and hopefully for Madden's if it exists there also.

Well I ain't to happy with the video and all. It was decent and all. But I'm not jumping to conclusion right now neither. If videos in late may is still looking like then I would be worried. But until then I'm keeping a open mind about this despite the past.
