4th and Inches (Part Two)

Collision detection should be #1 on this list. There's way too much morphing in the game. Players going through players on the field, refs, sideline players, endzone pylons, etc...as it they don't exsist. It's almost 2010 & morphing should be a thing of the past. Also, why put refs on the field if we can just morph right through them? Please EA no more morphing! It's seriously ruins the experience for me! Oh and for the love of God can we please get the players on the sidelines to look like the players on the field? I'm tired of playing the game & trying to avoid looking at the sidelines because they look like Nintendo 64 graphics. Definately kills the immersion feeling. Next year we need the sidelines to look like the do in the cutscenes during gameplay.

I totally agree with the forward progress comments. It reminds me of NCAA 08 when you make contact with the defense and the ref would spot the ball where you first made contact. Instead of where you were actually tackled at. Not as bad. But just reminds of that problem...lol

Nice article!

You forgot 2 things. the unrealistic best of both worlds, swat and midair matrix/david tyree superbowl helmet tackle animation and the removal of the hitstick. they say if u see it on sunday you see it in the game. and from a true fan of the game. i dont see ''hitsticks'' on every play,. i see sound wrap up tackling and thats what i wish would happen. to many times i have played a guy and been hitsticked on every tackle. while it its great when you break a long one cuz a missed tackle it has started to look arcadish.

wow,Lot of things i didnt notice.One biggie is players warping through defenders.This has happened to me on several occasions,I also think the running out of 300 pound Defensive Tackles and ends grasp is Way overblown.That should NEVER happen.Not with Peterson,Jim Brown,O.J. Simpson,I dont care who the runner is.Dt's should be able to breath on a rb and make him go down.Other than that It is stil a fun game.

Amen to that, Brother!
