Good...makes me actually believe the Skills Trainer is going to be essential for people to master before they venture online or H2H.

That whole video was nice and actually made me a lot more excited to play the game...well done.

Stone hands animation? You mean a drop..?

I'm all for it too. If they get mad, then that's their problem.

Now give us a deeper CFM and force them to learn how to run a team the real way.

Same. Looking forward to feeling these changes first hand and even stepping back into online quick matches.

And this is where EA needs to ignore them. They've gone that route and it has not worked and the game is still working its way out of hell. They try to gain casuals and turn off core gamers and they will not win because they'll alienate the very people who WOULD be there for the long haul. The casual guy is not going to be there for the long haul. There will be plenty of items in the game for the casual person but they need to make sure they don't succumb to a voice that is not going to be around after one month. They've done that too much and even the diehards start looking elsewhere after about two months. So they've done enough babying and it hasn't worked out great.

Hopefully because it's not awful.

And we really need ball juggle animations.

I liked the candor of the guy in the middle regarding what got done this year and what remains to be done, and I really liked the clarity of the guy on the right's answers to specific questions about defense.

I also liked that they went right for specific legacy/problem plays and coverages; rather than hiding from questions about whether or not coverages that should stop a given concept actually do, they sought those scenarios out and let the game speak for itself. That was a stand-up move, so I respect the dev team for that.

Locomotion still looks terrible in many instances, but the player models looked decent, at least to me.

After seeing this, I'm excited to learn/see more.

One thing's for sure...that's easily the most detailed, "smartest" presentation I've ever seen come out of EA. Well done guys.
