Nah... I saw it, I am just having flashbacks to last year when the right side of our line made him run for his life...

The engine needs to be able to tell the ball carrier to put a hand up and react to blockers realistically with respect to relative speed. Right now it appears it is only reading it as a pure physics equation of force and vectors and the user is responsible for manually adjusting speed, which just isn't possible with maddens controls. The engine needs to take into account teammates and intended direction but not allow that to trump momentum. For example if the rb runs into a pulling guard he should go down. If the are both going in the same direction he should not slam into the back of him and fall because the engine should slow his feet to dispel some of the impact. I will say though that all the other tackles in the video looked good and much improved.

I have seen what you are talking about with respect to a RB running up the lineman's back and falling - I've been on that end of it.
BUT I have also run up the back of a guard's legs and did not get tripped up.
In fact it played out almost exactly the way you speak of it needing to.
I think the reason why is because I didn't have the stick buried up full on.
It was kinda feathered and I think thats the reason I saw that and it looked pretty friggin good. I think that is the key, not burying the stick all the way up. I actually had it buried off the snap but when I hit the line I let off to pick a hole, thats when I hit the lineman and realized he was still running and I was STILL running, then I hit up again and we both ran with me behind him for just a second and then I made a cut and the run ended in a gang tackle.
So its there, but it needs to be more refined to happen more often.
Mind you, I've only seen it once and I've played probably 7 games.

Video looks good but EA obviously didn't pay attention to that fact that the Browns wore their "home" brown uni's not once last year. Maybe that would be different in the snow, maybe that will change this year, I don't know. Just amazes me that they have the Cowboys in white at home but none of the other teams that do it. Granted, there's not many left but there used to be more and EA never had it right then either.

I guess I am just a presentation nerd but I am surprised this many pages in that nobody mentioned how Simms initially talks about how the snow will be a factor for QB passes, etc, then turns around before the coin toss to say the snow will NOT be a factor, lol.

I hope they can fix that minor hiccup with a patch and it's odd if that whole "snowy weather" intro was recorded all together.

I absolutely love the gang tackle on Chris Johnson at 3.26!!

I would agree, but the browns president has said a few different times that the team will be bringing back the brown uniforms at home this year.
