Did they also redo the passing animations ?

If this is true and plays the way it is described then this could be a game changer on the gameplay front.

Don't like:
"Aggressive tackles were also improved so that defenders always dive towards the ball carrier instead of just at his facing direction."

To me that's not improved. That's making the aggressive tackles easier and less risk reward..

Nice. We have been complaining for years that this has been omitted and it looks like they did something. DPI is such a HUGE part of the NFL.


The list of new and updated penalties includes:

Encroachment, False Start, Offensive Holding, Facemask, Defensive Pass Interference, Illegal Block in the Back, Neutral Zone Infraction, Defensive Holding, Illegal Forward Pass, Illegal Touching, Delay of Game, Kick Catch Interference Running into the Kicker, Unnecessary Roughness and Roughing the Passer.

Were Qbs able to throw rolling out opposite throwing arm? Currently they do a weird 360 to throw it.

Im curious as to how much of all these improvements will find their way onto the 360/ps3 version?

Hopefully suction blocking is gone too.
