(Also, new d-line controls would be great) I did not hear any of this so i am very reserved on my judgement.

This is what I want to know also; looking at the video, seems like it's for every player because I see foot-planting on defense too, just look at :30sec.

I think it's silly to think different players will be operating under different footplant/movement mechanics, that's a bit of tin foil hat thinking if you ask me.

In the NCAA Football video, running animations still look stiff and robotic. Basically like in Madden 13 with IE on defense, everything is the same until you trigger the Infinity Engine.

Although, I'm quietly pumped about playcalling based on personnel and not based on formations and AI ported over from FIFA and NHL.

I wonder if Madden's IE is going to be better than NCAA 14's, since they implemented it a year ahead of NCAA Football.

Some of this is the best EA football news in 9 years.

However they do it, I'm with Smoke. The visual aid needs to either be turn offable or trigger reliant.

Looks exactly the same to me, think I might skip this one and wait until next gen. Tired of hearing empty promises, and ea's negligence to some of the leas wining teams in the league i.e the bills.

It's a different running animation with and without the football. I would imagine they could write the footplanting/movement mechanics code to only be applied to the "carrying the ball" running animations. That is my fear.
