Madden NFL 17 Video - New Spin Move

[poster]

At least #63 came back and engaged. In the past, he may have just did the silly block no one animation looking straight ahead since no one would have been in his "zone" to block. Line play and interaction between O & D line has been a big weakness in this game. I'll wait for more videos, but am concerned that it is still weak, hope I am wrong. Run blocking has been pretty good though, and you can see some of that in the short clip.

Low player level or not, not sure why #58 just stops and runs away from the play due to the spin move occurring. He reads it well, then just changes his mind once the spin move starts.

Not a football x & o expert, so not sure if he is reacting to another eligible receiver entering his zone and trying to go back and cover that responsibility? Doesn't seem like it, but maybe I am missing it.

Since he read the play well, he should continue the pursuit. If on rookie or if lower rated, maybe he gets frozen and is slow to react to the move as he gets closer.

Not read the whole thread for this yet... but i would hazard a guess that the guy was the force player or controlling the outside, and as the CB got blocked and AP was going outside, the AI made him back off to get around the CB block in order to set the edge again (as he couldn't just warp through the CB...)

people read into this too much its most likely on rookie level . read & react is lowered to the level ! It's all just to show case the spin! Lets break down the EA play footage on all pro or all madden .

Aye agreed, just no-one had offered up any theories yet. My mistake on the positions, it was the CB Shields trying to make the tackle and the LB readjusting at the beginning of the spin move with the S Dix being blocked on the outside.

Loved the spin move. Looked way better than the previous one. Really is great that their animations are finally going to the next level. They just need to make all the animations get to this level of fluidity and they will have a true fan again.

But you can't notice bad animations while you're playing, you have to do a replay in slow motion (*snickers*)...

Seriously though, it's a trip how they can add an animation that looks great but leave in bad ones that drag the experience down. I really want them to spend a year just getting rid of bad ones, but the challenge is them recognizing which ones are bad, and that's where I think the big disconnect is between us and them. What we see as bad they probably see as "I worked hard on that, I'm not getting rid of it!"

Alright. So, we've seen the juke, the spin, and the hurdle. I personally never use the hurdle. And, rarely use the spin. I wanna see what that stiff arm gonna look like, yo! I'm guessing they won't create even a tiny vid showcasing it cause it's been SO WEAK over the years!! Lol, but in all seriousness, I am hopeful based on the blogs and these quick vids on special moves that stiff arm has FINALLY been upgraded and will FINALLY be useful. Cmon, EA, show me dat stiff arm!!!
