You can see the same exact action in Madden 10. Why does everyone have the same running animation????

The Bronco player heads for the intercepting player and then get sucked-backward into the blocker...


It's not cool.

I also notice you only see 3 team mates celebrating whether it be offense or defense.

I talk about transition animations missing from Madden all of the time, and this video is a prime example. At 0:32 after the play is broken up, the WR comes to an abrupt stop, instead of slowing to a stop, and the DB instantly goes into an arm raised animation, again without any type of transition. You can actually see the DB's arm materialize above his head. This is why people say the game looks robotic, because the animation transition movements are not natural.

^^^^^^^^

can't disagree but the risk of having "beautiful, long animations" is that you, the user--at times--can not break out of them....although after the play is over it shouldn't matter

I think EA has stated over & over they wouldn't take control away from the user

Which is one of the problems in NBA 2K, some of the animations take away from your control which becomes frustrating, that being said there has to be a middle ground with making it look / flow well without taking away your control.
