I love the 2K football franchise, but the one thing that really bothered me...

was the run physics engine. I hated how when you ran the ball, the player that you're controlling doesn't smoothly transition from one direction to another. I guess this is the term where herky jerky came into play. The one thing that EA always had over 2K was the fluidity of the run mechanics.

Please tell me that 2K fixed this problem.

chk out the impressions thread certainly sounds like thats not a problem

You mean you hated the fact it takes into account momentum?

the running game is so much smoother than it was in 2k5.

It's not momentum when there were only four directional movements. The runners ran like robots. There is no denying that.

But I'm glad to hear that this issue is finally fixed. Like I said before, I always liked 2k better than EA, except for the run mechanics.

im gonna go ahead and deny it.

esp if you compare the jerkiness of NCAA/Madden. i think a lot of ppl would disagree with you

EA had ice skating for the longest time. I dont call that fluid. Maybe for hockey. I dont know how it is for this years game though.

A lot of people were overblowing this (for example "4 directions") and I think it was mostly b/c of people on the ps2 AND still wanted to play with the dpad. That's just part of the story though. The way madden's physics for everything is set up, some things look smoother but they're the same that make others limiting. The same has been true for the 2k series and while I felt the pluses outweighed the minuses, making quick movements with no momentum weren't very realistic.

I haven't played APF yet but I know the difference between nba2k6 (and up) on the 360 and playing it on the xbox was HUGE in terms of the same sort of physics, so I'd be surprised if you (who are worried about the running) weren't happy. We'll see.
