The main problem with the game right now doesn't seem to be the locomotion, but more so how it appears. It probably feels a lot better than the current system we have, but visually it looks like more of the same. Maybe it something with their engine, but even with this new system in place it seems like the players are skating more than planting on a grass field.

Maybe im just not seeing what everyone else is, I am far from impressed with this so called locomotion upgrade because i am seeing many serpentine turns with out as much as a footplant or chopping or a gather of any sort.

It's basically May now, so they have 2 to 2.5 half months left, not 4. So they should be starting to "polish" up soon.

Pro-Tak doesn't even look like its on? LOTS of falling, and most broken tackles are strange.

So far the running animations look modestly upgraded.. Still way too stiff, but I'll take any improvements at this time.

I like the quicker games cos this means I can now play more minutes per quarter, get more realistic stats and still have a quicker game. My only concerns with this is will the game feel like one big two minute drill ? And please tell me you can still use hot routes. I hot route about 90% of the time.

Of course you can hot-route.

Yeah I did, cowboy. You said that EA isn't working on any SIM features and just producing gimmicks for quick sales (usual rhetoric). I said locomotion is a massive sim feature, effectively discrediting your point.

I usually don't like to confront posters because it doesn't really help, but that post really annoyed me so I figured I'd inject some logic into the discussion... it didn't take much.

besides the jukes, where are the instances of locomotion?

what happens when a pass is made that a persons locomotion shouldnt allow them to catch? do they miss it or does it somehow make its way to the player?
