Anybody concerned about future gameplay announcements?

[ch46647]

Many of the community members who have had some hands on time with the game say there are several other "big" announcements to come.

Are any of these "big announcements" going to be gameplay related? I am a little worried because I know last year they announced locomotion and new run blocking as one of the first big announcements. Then that was pretty much all the big news we got in the gameplay department. This year they announced new tackling and better zone defense as the first big announcements.

Is anybody else a little concerned that there may not be much more to share as far as gameplay is concerned?

The other big news will be about dynasty, online dynasty or teambuilder.

I am hoping to hear about: (Or atleast a few of these things)

-Better WR/DB interaction
-Improved pass blocking
-Improved pass rush (Actual pocket forming with DE's rushing UP the field)
-Better passing (Ball velocity, ability to put touch on the ball, route based passing)
-Foot planting (This game feels very "floaty". I would love to see them add realistic footplanting technology like FIFA or several other games have)
-Greater seperation in players (Ratings that actually matter besides speed)
-Special Teams Improvements (All across the board)
-Realistic QB play and QB movement (Remove the ability to sprint backwards and turn away from the -recievers and just turn and chuck a perfect pass)
-Better run blocking in the second and third levels
- Continue to improve on locomotion in the game. (Locomotion seems to be spotty. It usually works for the player you are controlling but other players on the field it does not apply to at all)
- Realistic ball physics (Make the football react appropriately to tips, fumbles, drops etc. Right now it just spins in a wierd way and drops like it full of lead)
-Smoother animations and better running animations. (Play the PS2 version of Madden and NCAA and you will see what I mean about smoother gameplay)


I think the presentation improvements sound great. But these are important things that a football game needs to get right.

Well the blog from yesterday was gameplay pt. 1 so no.

Short of a few tweaks so far not covered in the announcements, I think the gameplay sounds solid. I'm hoping the "big announcements" include a rebuilt campus legend mode, and a deeper player progression system for dynasty and CL.

That is what I am hoping. I have a feeling that RTG will be improved. I am hoping that Deeper player progression for both modes. I hope that recruiting is greatly improved and editable. Recruiting is 80% of my Dynasty.
