The worst ones are Adrian Peterson who is about 3-5 shades too light and Thomas Jones who also has the problem as well as Laurence Maroney. There are a number of others. As for body builds, one glaring build being off is LaDanian Tomlinson's... he is still too thin.

This is very very true.

Will legacy/classic control configuration be included in a patch?

[Mofficial]

Why is it that when i'm controlling a defender, and the cpu jukes me, my player automatically goes into his "just got juked let me fall down like he cut upfield while I took a bad pursuit angle" animation? I didn't get faked out, so why should the player I'm controlling get faked out?

Skin tones can be changed and Donny will be changing them, as long as they don't have unique faces, body builds can also be altered but are determined on player weight. LT could probably be thickened up though.

Why do WR's whiff on blocks or run around in circles when trying to block corners?

What I am trying to figure out Ian... is why do the players universally take horrible pursuit angles when there is a pursuit rating??? I'm really not understanding. And even if it's because they have poor pursuit ratings (a la Offensive personnel) they don't have the common sense to take the best pursuit angle to prevent a TD?

In a response to the a thread about LBs not making tackles,

can you attest to this?

What happened to giving us the ability to edit any player's attributes mid-Franchise?

[bonannogiovanni]

Ian, is it possible to patch the game so that acc clock runs off even inside the two minute warnings? This way no huddle offense would be a must for the trailing team (added realism).
