This is a big hope of mine also.

But what also happens in real life is the 2nd defender hits the free falling body in mid air and changes its direction with a collision. Sorry guys, but until that is a reality in Madden I won't be impressed. When you're fully aware of what animation systems are out there, it's hard to be impressed by anything still based on primitive physics engines.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I do think it looks better than 08 though. But you bring up some important points I noticed but didn't take them to task. Even in the very first frame something weird happens but I just let it be.

Shearer does an impression of Vin Scully in that episode, but its not Vin Scully himself
