Then you'd still have to contend with improper defensive play due to DB's making unrealistic plays on the ball. Not sure about NCAA, but in Madden the DB's begin breaking on the ball as the QB's arm begins it's backward motion... How does something like that ever make it past QA? Or a developer?

If this is sarcasm, bravo. If it isn't...

The one thing I noticed from the vid, that I haven't seen anyone else call out, is it looks like they have solved the problem pinning the footplant to the field, as well as creating a proper separation between bodies on tackles so the bodies do not warp through the field or appear to float above it.

Every thing looks great cant wait too play. But, the only thing i seen wrong is the fact that Arkansas facemask are white not black its in all the pictures against Michigan looks really odd hope they fix that one!!!

This is what the locomotion engine is supposed to do. In the past Madden hasnt had ANY kind of real locomotion system so the result was gliding around, morphing etc. I dont know if you have ever played FIFA but they have a great locomotion system, and ever since it was introduced FIFA has not suffered from the problems you mentioned above.
