Maybe I am the odd man out, but to me I am more concerned with how the game plays then how it looks. If they game plays great but looks robotic, I can deal with that as opposed to the game playing like junk and looking great.

I am intrigued by this new passing system and I do hope they added more ratings to help this live up to its full potential.

So how will the 25 trajectories thing work? Will we have any control of it or will it just depend on where the receiver is and who's around him?

i like what they are doin here... the animations look a little robotic though but its still looking better. the only thing i noticed that i still hate every year is the damn scoreboard at the bottom. fix the names, like ohio state should say OHIO ST not BUCKS...Florida State should say FLORIDA ST. get it right.

This, times 1,000. I am still very much skeptical after seeing that video.

Also, at 1:05 and 1:15 the DB still runs the WR's route and turns around at the exact moment to pick or swat the ball down. Then later in the clip they said that they fixed this very issue and showing these same clips as if they are a thing of the past and no longer in the game when we just saw them earlier when they were talking about the QB throwing across their body. I'm a little confused by that. That juke move looked like a backbreaker juke move...ie not good at all, very very robotic. But yes, the catching animations looked great and the back drops looked okay a little robotic. Overall, I'm glad they worked on the pass trajectories which was greatly needed as well as the "awareness" of the defense. They just really really need to work on animations to make them look smooth and natural.

Again, agreed. Great post.

I like what I heard, yes animations still robotic but from what we learned if they get these things right this will be a fun game this year. This new passing system has so much potential if done right. And the read and react defense helps tons. HOWEVER there has to be something added defensively to balance out offense getting this boost, maybe thats what Madden is talking about with making defense fun again.

EDIT: biggest negative for me is still no proper foot planting, players are sliding all over the place and cutting on a dime.

hopefully their just using that scoreboard as a cover up for what is actually going to be represented in the real game

Perhaps this will be answered on Tuesday but how you expect that to be answered in a two minute clip when talking about passing features is beyond me!!

I am pretty sure it has said Bucks in the past as well
