Tackles

Where are these kind of tackles? All these years you'd think they'd be added:

I don't see what you're getting at. I think the tackling is pretty good in the demo, besides a few ridiculous big hits every now and then.

If tackling took more of a group effort, it would make the game much better.

13 has two-man tackling, and can credit 0.5 tackles. I thought I saw a play in the demo where there was a 3 man gang tackle, and I'm wondering how the stats will reflect that. How does it work IRL? If there's an equal 3 man gang tackle, do all three players get credited with half a tackle?

IRL the stat for gang tackles is called "Assisted Tackles".

Assisted Tackles

Award assisted tackle if second defender materially shortens the duration of the play.
Award two assisted tackles (and no solo tackle) if the ballcarrier is hit simultaneously by two defenders.
Award two assisted tackles (and no solo tackle) if the first defender is unable to complete the tackle on himself. This guideline will often be used in an "in the grasp" situation or a shared sack.
Do not award assisted tackle if ballcarrier would have been successfully tackled without contact from a second defender. Players who pile on when a tackle has already been made should not be awarded an assisted tackle.
Do not award assisted (or solo) tackle if ballcarrier completely escapes the initial contact.
Do not award assisted tackles on quarterback slides

Doesn't say anything about if a 3rd guy comes but my guess is he would get an assisted tackle if he helped actually stop the play.

Edit: But in the case of your Dallas picture only the guys who actually stopped the runner from advancing get stats all those other players get nothing except satisfaction that they hit something.

I've actually enjoyed a lot of the tackle animations in the demo thus far. I can't complain much.
