We'll see what EA focused on as they release more gameplay vids.

The current game already has powerful RB's who move the pile with their balance and strong legs, so why would they focus on that? Of course they're going to focus on the new feature in the videos.

There is an animation where it is high and tight but it still looks horrible. They need to look at DeAnthony Thomas running the ball and mirror that, his running style always stood out to me as perfect.

i REALLY hope they do away with that "taking a charge" animation. after watching these videos ive seen it happen multiple times, even after a stiff arm or forearm.

I love watching the players helmets go through the turf as they hit it. Realistic physics? Yeah ok.

They're going to overplay new animations in these trailers. That's what these are for. To get consumers hyped up about *NEW!!!!* stuff in the game. They show RBs juking over and over and over again in the new trailer but that doesn't seem to bother you. A RBs going to juke and footplant on 100% of the carries like they do in the trailer? Nope. Just like defenders aren't going to fall down like a cannonball smacked them in the chest 100% of the time.

Anyone else see the patty-cake animations from the linemen during the vid? That alone switched off what little interest I had.

And it's poorly done. Which is why people (in this very thread) complain about power running, or the lack there of in this game.

Why focus on something that happens 1% of the time when you can address your poor representation of something that happens 100% of the time.

Tiburon is going to have to bite the bullet and use longer animations next gen, or come up with some new tech that allows a realistic look and the user control they're looking for. They add new animations and they still don't look right, but hey Tiburon is cool with it, looks realistic to them so I guess it's just a lost cause for guys like me.

Couldn't agree more.. Just sad.. Typical EA & Tiburon make small adjustments. That video clip was sad is all i can say, looks like the same game and another year of the same BS.. Wow.. How could people fall for this??
