No I dont think it will be. I think the ice skating is a result of the engine.

I don't think it is necessarily the engine, but how the game is programmed right now. Currently, your player turns as soon as you hit the joystick, even if his feet aren't touching the ground. So you can turn in mid stride and get a skating look. I would think it is possible for them to get it to only turn when your feet are on the ground enough to cut, but I may be wrong. If they were to get it to work like that, then skating would be nearly eliminated.

I think it would be more complaints across the board, not by me, if players actually had to cut to change direction. Kind of like on Backbreaker when they gave real QB pocket times. Everyone swore the line play was broken, but they meant to do that. If people couldn't change direction on a dime like that, they'd swear the animation was bunk. Maybe not you and I, but overall population....

backpedaling players keeping up with receivers running full speed is my only dislike-wait I take that back. Pass rush still looks weak

EA wants to keep that responsiveness. To keep it, they have to give up proper running physics. If your player only turned once his feet were on the ground, people would complain it was sluggish. I think 2k8 has this type of system and many people find it sluggish.

I want it more sluggish which is more realistic and fun imo. The PS2 players were more sluggish and I miss the way it played. There is no way to please everyone here with one default setting. EA added game speed settings and speed thresholds to the game. I'd love it if they added an option for light, medium and heavy player momentum. That way everyone could be happy.

I want the sluggish feel as well. It makes players feel like they have momentum and bigger guys will feel like bigger guys. I know you can't please everyone, but I believe if you have a more realistic game, the sim fans like all us on OS will be pleased, and the casual crowd will end up liking it as well. Thats just what I think though.
