To be honest, I don't understand why everyone things this is a great locomotion system. In many ways it feels like Madden. Here's my take-a-way: Left Analog stick can be used to move slowly or quickly (touch sensitive) RT is still used to Sprint, just like in Madden. Missing animations on turns (looked really bad at times here) Gliding on many of the movements, even some of the basic / walking / running animations at times Very quick stops when running fast Momentum feels inconsistent Did I play the right version of FIFA?

Even though I did like the Fifa demo, I agree. I don't think it should be used for Madden. I think Madden needs its own locomotion built just for football. I think that's what they said they did, but I know I remember hearing fifa in the mix.

I think what FIFA probably got right that everyone liked was the ball handling, but with regards to the movement itself, I saw little difference other than momentum seemed to be in effect, albeit awkwardly and inconsistently.

I hope they let the community day guys sound off on the new Locomotion system.

Acceleration and De-celeration is done very well in FIFA as well. Once a player stops or cuts they realistically accelerate again instead of just starting back up at full speed.

Agreed on acceleration, disagree on decelleration. I easily saw some quick cuts at full speeds that didn't look right at all.

Yep, which is why I'm hoping the CD guys can sound off on what they saw.

i would like to know how the locomotion will be handled with oline and dline interaction. especially with the footwork of tackles and the chop steps they are suppose to tackle and what happens when their balance is off due to a move by the defense tackle or end.

They said Locomotion only effects the running (movement), not interactions in the NCAA video.
