If you can pick 1 football element EA nails, what would it be?

If you had to pick an aspect of football that EA gets right, what would it be?

For example, Line interaction, running lanes, route running, tackling, etc.

What is the football aspect you think they get right?

*Edit* Changed the word "nailed" in the title since people are getting hung up on that word. What are the football elements that they do well. We always focus on the gameplay and stress that it should be the #1 focus, well what do they do well? We are hearing and seeing plenty of what they don't do well but how about the positive aspects they get right in replicating football.

Passing. (At least for 13)

I give credit where credit is due, and EA really stepped up the passing game.

This thread is gonna get flamed even though it's perfectly good to ask. All sarcastic coming one after another. EA gets a lot right just the few things they don't get overblown because of the EA name. 2K has it's problems but they are never brought up because people worship anything they put out.

Who didn't see ridiculously stupid posts like this coming?

keep it on topic, FOOTBALL ELEMENT not sliders or recruiting. I'm talking about the actual game of football. I think TDenverfan is right, passing seems to be a strength. I'm talking about just the offense because obviously line blocking & defense aren't great but just the passing itself has improved this year.

And the reason i bring this topic up is because of what i read someone else say in another thread and it had me thinking. They were talking about how EA seems to just tweak different elements each year individually but collectively it doesn't equate to good football. So i was wondering what those different elements were that people thought they did a good job accomplishing.

I'm playing 13 now and it's def the passing and recruiting. Much improved.

The glaring weakness is blocking on the LOS. If they fix that next year, this will be a very nice game again.


edit: sorry suave.... The passing is the only gameplay improvement I see. No more leaping LB's or magic DB swats. Offensive line play is bad though. very tough to run the ball.
