Guess you've never played anything earlier than a ps2.

Did you notice any WR/DB interaction on passing plays? Any new catch animations? Did you notice anything interesting in the passing game besides the blocking?

"The moves at your disposal are the same as last year. There might be a few new animations on the line, but you won't fully feel a huge difference"

Hearing this really disappoints me about the D line in the current gen. It really should of been the number one focus although i'm glad to hear that next gen gets improved in this area. I'm especially happy to hear about players setting up their moves instead of running straight into blocks every time. That is a big part of this game that they've left out is having D line set up their moves with either stutter steps and/or counter moves. I really hope to see animations like in All pro football where a lineman will get a good jump off the snap and literally ride the blocker to the qb yet still be in control of the animation by directing his path with the joystick or pulling off a pash rush move during the "ride". It's hard to explain it but APF did it perfectly.

Looks like i'll be getting this game this time around along with a ps4.

Looks like a much smoother transition into next gen.

You have to realize that gaming graphics can only go so far. Besides, it looks great.

Any word on if they toned down the Precision Passing or if you can make the CPU press the seam routes?

The DL moves need a monster upgrade to allow more user control (spins, rips, etc). The r-stick moves sucked last year and it seems they aren't too good this year. My big concern is using the just "run into the OL and then turbo around him" move. That worked far too well last year. I hope that got toned down. I had to house rule myself into only using the crappy r-stick moves last year.

I'll be buying both games for sure. I can't wait for them. Good article!
