Players don't brush off shoulder charges by pulling out their protective pillow.......is this why the refs never call any fouls for running over a player?

That was so the dude not being mocaped would not get knocked to the ground by the guy checking him who was.

Okay, so basically that means that the shoulder charge will be completely underpowered?........since the defending player can repeatedly barge into an opponent & not knock him over, but retain the ability to keep attempting a tackle?

The result sometimes better be to shoulder charge the player, knock him down, and be called for a foul.

No that has nothing to do with the motion capture. That will be scripted in the code on how hard the collision is based on the two players strength. How hard the pusher is and how strong the receiver is and warding it off. But there will be other times when yes, both players fight for the ball for a while and no one gets knocked over. Happens all the time.

It wasn't shown, but I assume there are also other situations from the other end. And probably ones with dudes falling to the ground.

Okay, you make some great points. I just hope the system works realistically along with fouls being called in the appropriate situation. We all know that EA struggles majorly in properly replicating the amount of fouls called in a match, rendering the set piece game nearly useless.

There were some nice looking animations. Also, I think this was the first video with some of the new kits it. We're getting closer...
