I think it would be a good idea if IGN had to pass their videos through you guys at EA for approval. Who cares if they get upset because at this point they're turning people away.

As long as the cutscene is seamless and doesn't feel stitched in with the rest of the game. I hate when the cutscene feels like it was taken from another product and thrown in. It breaks the sense of immersion.

To be fair to IGN, is their job to hype the game, or to give us unbias info with which we are armed to make our own decision?

IGN posted the vids. It's not their job to say "Well, this is just one of those mistakes that slipped through." It's their job to call it like they see it and let us decide. They're not a hype machine, they're a consumer information outlet.

At least... theoretically. It seems to me most video game news sites are WAY too buddy-buddy with the industry. We generally get honest reviews, but we rarely get honest PREviews.

I think IGN did us all a favor by showing the spiderman leap.. err.. lambeau leap. Now Ian & EA is aware of it now instead of 2 months from now. Hopefully it'll be fixed sooner as a result.

I hear you Ian and I hope its patched...

I just can't see who approved this to be in the game and actually give the thumbs up to show this like we wouldn't know the difference....

Maybe one of the Dev's made a mistake and put the wrong code in the game..

the problem is the animation itself. Heck id be surprised if someone hasnt don that after a TD. The problem is it being called the lambeu leap. obviously they have a few animations so hopefully its as simple as reaganging the code and not importing new animations via patch cause if that was the case I wouldnt hold my breath.

While you are on Ian, can you guys create a different tackle animation than the straight leg, right arm over the shoulder straight out tackle. The tackle you see on the slant thrown for a touch down per the celebration vids. That tackle is tired and over used!
