I'm sure Ian will post it when it's complete. The one he posted was a work on progress. They are still tuning it.

so far I'm very pleased with the new running animation. Looks waaay more realistic. If this years madden dissapoints, I'll **** myself, there is more than enough reason to get excited, hopefully everything won't go pear shaped before August.

The "Cartooning" has a night and day difference. As others have mentioned, having that completely perfect sprint form should only be seen in the open field on a breakaway or pursuing the breakaway. When in traffic people aren't running at full sprint speed in one direction. They are under control and ready to change directions. Also, take in account that the players are probably not at 100% stamina so their form may suffer some when running.

Lookn better, after i saw the animation from trailer i thought the animations looked too unrealistic for the 21st edition of madden. One thing i think needed to take into effect is how fast wr's, like in that Chad Johnson video, take long quick strides

Ian, how close are you to having the running animations tuned for another show and tell?

I think it is a big improvement.. But I also agree that the he looks to be laboring a little too much.. But very realistic..

Yeah I really like the new animation, it does look like he is laboring down the field. It also looks like he has a SPINE, in the 09 version he is running with his back in almost perfect posture. Cool, hopefully this will change with player type, weight, height and muscle mass. Awesome work so far!

Both animations look decent from the front, but I want to see a back view before I'm convinced the player has an actual relation to gravity and turf. Also, those legs need to be moving a hell of a lot faster, he appears to be jogging along preparing for a sharp cut and not in the middle of a break away sprint.
