When I looked at the runner running in those videos, it didn't look, or seem to feel real or right. In my humble opinion, the runner was on the wrong foot at times. He would lean, step, turn on his pivot feet going the other way, and then the correct leg would move and the cooresponding foot would hit the ground. He runner never put his head up, shoulders back, and strided through his max speed with a sprinters form. Go back, watch the tape. This is good, but....nevermind...

I never post but I decided to because I actually tried to understand what you were saying. This is what I came up with.

As far as turning (which was the whole point of the video), if you are running in a straight line and decided to TURN right, then your right foot will be on the ground and your left foot will create the change of direction.

Now, if a player is running in a straight line and decided to cut right then your left foot would be on the ground and your right foot would create the change of direction.

This video was to demonstrate turning not cutting.

My 2 Cents.

Time to disappear again.

Ahhh. Agreed. I'm stuck on cuts/plants. When Ian said this blog was coming, I thought it would be my favorite of the "small" announcements. So far, I'm disappointed. Maybe if he showcased some plants, I'd feel better about it. I'm anxious to see someone string a couple of cuts together having to decelerate manually.

But I'd like to control a game with the miserable controls Ian described. I can't imagine it's so bad waiting for a foot to get back on the ground. It's a fraction of a second. It's less time than waiting for a hop step from an outfielder before a strong throw. I took another look at the vid and the footwork does look wierd.

So I'll ask it for this feature once again and hope that it eventually gets answered: are these features only for Xbox 360 and PS3? This is all great stuff, but I want to know whether I should be excited or depressed...

really didnt care too much about this update.... BORING

With the new momentum system will we NOT see players running straight out of bounds on out patterns, and receivers catching the ball and running 5-10 yards in the wrong direction before turning to head up field?

What your failing to realize is that no person can turn right without placing the left foot on the ground. I don't care if your cutting, turning, or jumping...if you want to do it in the direction that is right...you'll need to place that left foot on the ground.

Now, I'm not trying to sharp shoot these guys (the dev at EA), and I certainly did not intend to be rude or offensive. So, I just want to move on...and let this blow over. I liked the update, I'll make a video and anyone who wants to place feedback in the thread is more than welcome to do so.

Very good point, exactly what I was thinking. That problem has been in the game for years and was never fixed. Ian can you please comment on this concern if possible?
