With whatever they're doing/going to do, there has to be a greater visual "gameplay" display of player differentiation in M17.

I think the running back tier system getting diffrent animation is a great way of going ! But they should of did the same with Def pass rush . Top player get better rush Animation .

Better yet I say go traits like 2k did . Trait base and teir based ! With some players having there real signature animation !

A dev (not sure which one) said all simming aims for 115 plays regardless of selected quarter length

I liked what Dustin said about how a 90ovr type player won't go up the next week just because he has a good game and that only guys like a Devonta Freeman last year who really broke out would see a good jump in ratings.

John White did in a tweet. We worked on that in Austin. Super Sim is scaled to 120-125 plays per game, not quarter length.

I reckon a one or two point difference in a particular rating has a bigger effect on dice roll results than animation diversity, so in essence there would be an inherent difference between an 84 and 86 RTE, no?

Just because you can't see, doesn't mean there isn't an affect.

Good interview. Like what I heard about how ratings have been toned down. Kinda have an issue with a Cowgirls fan doing ratings though. Lol
