Much better looking than NCAA

I thought that Run Free stuff was a joke - I missed that entirely - I just looked at the picture and read the comments haha.

Beautiful lighting, but as we all know screenshots don't tell much if anything at all. Nonetheless, very nice.

I'll wait for game play film before making my decision this year. I don't expect better graphics, I'm interested in how the UI, CC, and Playbooks/Schemes are incorporated.

Not much to glean from a screenshot...

...but I was quietly hoping that THIS would finally be the year that mouthpieces get back into the game. But alas...

I'm only going to get excited when I see this thing in motion. My biggest problem with this game has been the running animations among other glaring fundamental issues that need to be addressed. Hopefully these are the fluid animations Cam Weber promised us.

I hope they are working on OL/DL interaction and fixing the issue of letting TE's run free every play without jamming them at the LOS

This is what I am wondering considering what has been the Tiburon way of peicemeal. I really hope this new tech is solid and that it applies to everyone in motion, including the new real refs (only halfway joking about refs, have you seen the way those guys glide and dash in M13?), not just RBs and ball carriers. One would think that for Von Miller to be off balance like that, all players have centers of gravity, weight, momentum and are generally effected by IE 2.0 but who knows. Hopefully it's not the just a pic of the legacy, "juke animation triggers defender stumble animation" 2.0, lol.
