What happened to the left-stick "shimmy"?

Is it the same move that's in the 360 demo? Because the one in the demo -- if that's truly a shimmy at all, and I can't tell if it is -- looks nothing like the shimmy/stutter step in 09.

Adam, care to ship one of those builds to me?

Adam-

Can you confirm that the shimmy, and other left stick moves were toned down? I am having a very difficult time pulling this move off in addition to other left stick jukes that were in 09.

Perhaps you made the left stick moves ratings based? I think everyone feels a huge difference on the 360, even a slight delay on right stick jukes. Were there any official tweaks to the 09 system during the development cycle?

I feel the same, and I'd like to know too.

Just checked again. The sluggish response is what is causing the problem. I posted about this earlier. The spin doesn't happen right when you press B or anything else including the shimmy. To get it to work you literally have to jerk the control left,right,left,right then it happens on the second left,right.This is a major problem considering we have to time these moves.

Dont you think that if you can "shimmy" juke 2-3 guys consecutive guys that would be a bit unrealistic. The fact that you cant do it every time you choose is kind of good, but I can see where it can be a bad thing (i.e a one on one situation in the open field). I like the fact that moves with high success rates have been toned down. Fast doesnt = elusive. If I can shake you with an average, but fast ball carrier like Jeff Demps I better be able to shake you with less fast, but more polished runner like DeMarco Murray with a much higher hit rate. EA didnt seem to get the memo on speed and elusiveness. But hey, I'm buying it anyway. But will I be keeping it? We will see by July 21st (one week after release)

I think it's all bad. The right stick should be more responsive.

When I hit the juke, I've already anticipated the angle and so on. My player should react when I hit the stick. A delay isn't realistic.

I understand that. I noticed a delay but not a huge one. I was able to juke guys that I felt like should have been juked
