Re: Madden 18: My analysis on QB animations (Brady and Manning). Still concerning?
As a former QB myself, I love the attention this topic is finally receiving. I couldn't agree more with the OP. The footwork, as stated above, is also baffling at times. Just fire up 17 and roll out to the left with a right handed QB. Try to throw on the run to the left and look at the footwork. The animations there do not resemble anything a QB above middle school level was taught on a roll out. I've seen QB's even do a strange spin and shuffling of feet before starting the throwing animation. It's very odd. Some of the animation has improved, but it's frustrating to see how little it has changed over the years. Attention must be paid to the finer details of the sport, and in turn you will receive a game that is as fun to watch as it is to play.
