There is no snowball effect to Madden where the innovations and NFL representation progress more and more each year towards a more complete NFL experience.
Exactly right and what even I fear as hyped as I am after seeing that blocking improvement video. Below is a feature list from MLB the Show 13 over The Show 12. Compare that to year to year Madden imrovements especially Madden 12 to Madden 13, which was supposed to be their big advancement year. For MLB the Show, 12 to 13 was a year that even they said they were just working to help build their foundation. Madden apologists might not want to open the spoiler.

Never noticed it as a loose snap spiral, more of a high snap that is always handled by the holder. Its a canned animation to give some variety, but honestly I've not noticed shotgun snap issues in any recent Madden, 25 current gen included.

It's not possible to match what was shown on that video with sliders on current gen. Those are entirely new animations and interactions. Olinemen on current gen can't turn a defender away from the play I dont care what slider adjustments that you make. You can edit how long they can hold the pattycake animation or drive the dlineman deeper but sliders dont replicate what this video shows. Show me one video of your sliders causing an olineman to pull the defender toward him and then use his momentum to turn him 90 degrees to keep him out of the play.
I don't know what your adjustments have done for your game, but if you adjust penalties instead of slider sets, you will see different animations in the trenches. This next-gen M25 is like a Porsche with a volkswagen engine.

Show me one video of Madden current gen where the olineman turns the defender intentionally 90 degrees away from the play. We edited every slider and penalty slider until we were blue in the face. The only thing it does is change the time of engagement of the blocking animation. Olinemen have never turned dlinemen in Madden. Those animations arent even in the game. They engage that's it. What is shown in the next gen video is a new gameplay element.

The only thing I didn't like about that video is that I doubt there is a center in the NFL that can turn Paul Soliai.
