This could be so dope man! My hopes up haha I've been hoping they'd upgrade the cuts.

Anybody feel free to "check" me but that video brought me back down to reality. Maybe this will look different from an actual game play view and I can see more of what's substantially changed but in that video I still thought I saw sliding/skipping, the runner generally covering too much ground at times. I think the inclusion of cuts mapped to left stick movement is good but is it just cosmetic, meaning the players still change direction too easily, gliding into space, just with a cut animation playing out. I hope someone understands what I am talking about and can maybe clarify what I might be missing here.

looks good. hope it's just for promotional purposes, but the offensive player looked a little overpowering. hope it's balanced, so defenders can knock out rb's/wr's/qb's as well.

Thats the main problem with the running. Its playing out a running animation but they aren't actually running, their gliding across the field. Im still seeing that, I only notice footplanting on the cuts. To tell how good the footplanting is we obviously have to feel it for ourselves.

I read the ESPN preview that locomotion has been improved. I hope it didn't just relate to the jukes. Still don't like the way they're running, needs to look more natural. Aside from that, glad to see they're on the right track. Just need to see some live gameplay and fluidity

I'm confused, are there any major upgrades in how blocking occurs?

LoL still given QB's the robot facemask, # 10 for Arkansas has it and he's the quarterback, it's early so ill give them the benefit.
