Maybe they have different animations based on player types? Doug Martin being a smaller, compact player vs. AB who is lenky.

I hope the Hurdle works differently, dont think ive ever pulled off a successful one yet and maybe gotten a few fumbles from it

Wow. I couldn't tell if he was running or having a seizure. The run animation is really at it's worse now. Never seen it this bad and Madden has had some bad seasons with it over the years.





Too much arm swinging, and hands going WAY too high. Nobody runs like this. It's as if it's not even pure motion capture, it's like they're manipulating the animations (why?) or keyframing (why?) or something. I don't understand all of the dramatic head swaying and arm swinging. It just, it just looks ridiculous.

Why can't we just get a normal, basic HUMAN run animation? What's the issue? I don't understand what's happening.

Maybe JP can find out something on twitter about the running animations.

The running motion reminds me of Woody from Toy Story.

Wasn't AB supposed top kick the defender in the head there? Hurdles are subtle, that's crazy to see that in the open field with defenders coming downhill.

The animation looked good, hopefully not overpowered and hopefully creates since murder collisions.

Okay, I'm gonna go practice running swinging my arms like a bafoon. Fix that crap.

Hurdles are nothing new

The problem I have is are we going to see 7 hurdles a game like that Odell Beckham catch last year? Or that David Tyree catch that was in the game forever. There may be like 5 players to get hurdled in an entire season. But I have a feeling it's going to happen all the time.
