They still look like they are gliding on ice. Man, that's disappointing. I don't like the running animations at all. There just seems to be no friction between their feet and the ground. That, and the lateral movements are beyond ridiculous looking. I wouldn't have released that video if I were EA. That's not an improvement.

Idk, time will tell, but I'm not positive about this game anymore.

yea they really need to get foot planting down. There is no foot planting, guys just spin or cut without ever planting their feet and their feet just slide through the animation like they're on skates. The spin move looks HORRIBLE still. That was really my problem with the whole video is that the running still looks flat out bad. The knees always being bent, the ice skating runnings, the terrible cuts with no foot planting, the awful spin moves... those are what bother me. The other stuff i thought was alright. I can live with the WR looking back at the last second for the ball because in real life there are some routes where you know to look back after X amount of steps.

The running/cutting/foot planting/spin moves were the weak spot and without those things being fixed the game is still going to feel like last year's game.

That was a little underwhelming, to say the least. I'll wait for more footage before I decide anything. It does seem clear that a lot of those clips were used in the locomotion video released a few weeks back. Hopefully, those were from a really early, one-month old build.

I need some others to make a ruling. Does the ball speed and trajectory look exactly the same as it did in 10? It sure does to me. Again, I hope this video was made from a first build before they had time to make any real adjustments.

This video makes the football players look like they are ice skating....there are so many problems in this video: lack of footplanting (PS2 version looks WAAAAY better than this), lack of momentum, Defensive lineman just snaked around O-Line, no interaction, no battle of the hands, etc. And why are the players so robotic like??? Also College players are kind of huge in the video, not the case in real life....smh @ WRs looking like D-Lineman LOL This video has to be a joke, surely not a representation of 5years worth of work on Next-gen.

Not bad. Looks like an improvement over 2010, which is all we can hope for in gameplay, as most new features will be for presentation and things like that.

WTF happened to the stanford defender in the last clip??? Hes going for the tackle and because of a juke he does a barrel roll?

They know what they need to do and all. Nothing is perfect. I feel that this video should some promise. I'm not super impressed. But I like it. It is a work still in progress.

How many times are you going to fall for this "alpha build" nonsense?
