That's exactly what I keep asking. They always implement stuff into the game, but never fully. A physics engine that is still more animations based than physics based. I mean where is the gang tackling?! Madden 10 had much better tackling animations. True step only the ball carrier and user controlled defender. Touting this up yet only 2 guys at most have it? Living Worlds doesn't appear to be fully featured. Guys still static on sidelines, bad player models, far too many repeats...etc...etc... I just don't get why they add things, but never fully implement them. What's the point of it?

Some nitpicking for me, McCoy is tip toeing the sidelines, #99 comes at him (assuming running pretty fast), and McCoy easily morphs right into the shrug off animation, and keeps running. I'm assuming #99 is a DT? Raiders fans?

One other thing: Hopefully this means the bad weather/crowd bug is gone. For those of you who dont know what that is: In CCM/Franchise, anytime it rained or snowed, the stadium would only be half full. Thats extremely disappointing especially when you play a cold weather playoff game and the stadium isnt sold out.

Hopefully this is gone with the new crowds.

I really am but, EA is not helping anything with these video's. I went from being very impressed with the "gameplay videos" of E3, to seeing what it is now. I guess what they showed was Madden 2020 gameplay. I'm not trying to be funny at all. I actually like what the game looks like it is going to be but, I just feel lied to. I am 99% sure now that the Monday Night Footballs sims were next gen video. I just wish EA would stop the charade and just show us what the game is. The sidelines are still pretty bad. I'm not some 2K fanboy so don't jump on me. I'm closer to a Madden fanboy but, AP 2k's sidelines were worlds better than this. When you ran out of bounds you had really sideline interaction with the rest of the team in REAL TIME. These "sideline interactions" look like it's just a cut seen. Maybe I'm wrong but, doesn't it? The Crowd looks nice and other things look good but, come on. I'm trying not to be overly critical. I just want this game to be so good but, it looks like we are getting a little better version of current Madden 25. I really don't mind it if they get the CPU AI right. If they can give me a CPU opponent that is smart and makes adjustments I will be happy. To me this is not lowering my expectations. This is by far the most important thing for me. You can have everything else right but, if the CPU sucks then it just gets boring real quick.

After re-watching. If you look at the McCoy run Chip Kelly steps backs while he is still in bounds but approaching the sidelines.

As far as the helmet tap that could be a cut scene. Won't know until next week.

Yea liked how they mention the crowd will stand up when you throw a deep ball. I'd love see that, thats one of those hold your breath moments, that either ends with a sigh of disappointment or the crowd erupting. Will be cool to see.

I didn't see one woman on the sideline or in the stands lol, that's all I got.

The NFL loves making money off breast cancer awareness. They will not be happy about this.

There are also five trainers and nine assistant coaches on sidelines, and these characters have more than 300 animations Look for sideline characters to move up and down the player box as the line of scrimmage moves down the field.

Is that 3 of the same trainer clones standing together?
