Has anyone noticed the pre-play fidgets now?

You will and I have but I didn't see any of this until LTMagic pointed it out to me. I know I've seen Aldon Smith signal to Willis and Brooks, and Willis signal to Bethea.

This stuff just needs to be all over the field more. It's a little thing but it's always bothered me how the wide receivers get set. They just kinda shuffle to there spot instead of running over and getting set. Worst part is they have the animation in the game. It's just not consistent. Which has been one of Madden's biggest problems. Consistency. I see things I like at times, they just don't happen often enough.

True but if you noticed, they did fix the WR foot alignment.

It would be cool if he actually had a mouthpiece to grab. I was really hoping for mouthpieces this year.

Any noticed at the playcall screen on that vid.... what does "Tempo: Normal" mean? On the lower part of the playcall art.

Attention to detail is a must for Next Gen so It's good to see stuff like this. Now if they would just add names to the back of sideline players & give them their correct socks (instead of every sideline player having high socks smh) then they could be on to something!

True but certain areas still need a lot of work (sideline player detail, woman & children added to the crowd, cheerleaders, cameramen & people in the crowd not wearing shorts & t-shirts in snow games, etc..) These are all things that need to be addressed that hurt the immersion. Hopefully next year Living Worlds will be truly flushed out.

Yes it would be nice to have those but there's a lot of on the field stuff that needs done first.
