Has anyone noticed the pre-play fidgets now?

True Step is footplanting, here's two really good videos about it from M25

Do you have a link or source that says they're implementing a new animation system and making locomotion based on momentum? This is the first I've heard of it.

Yeah, I'm not seeing this in the recently released vids. One of the 1st to be release had James of the 49ers swerving up the sidelines. And I've seen it in other vids.

Those choppy steps, body leans & plants are not triggering nearly to the extent shown is these 2 vids you just posted. Both narrators are addressing & presenting exactly what I'm talking about, but it's not present in what's being released. I'll look closer.

Clint just told me they were not able to get to formation and auto subs this year, sounds like they are wanting to completely redo them not just tweak.

That's really, really disappointing. I'm starting to become worried that CFM will hardly be touched and most of the stuff added will just be for the owner side of things and not the football side.

Already in all the videos i've scene... the QB has done that neck cracking animation where he rolls his neck left and right as he approaches the line of scrimmage.. or he points to the to the linebackers.. every time! It's progress... but doesn't seem very deep. Just like the intros.. I feel like i've seen all the intro's have to offer at this point from just seeing the E3 videos.. Coach kneeling on the ground with the QB before he comes out.. or leaning on his shoulder talking in to his ear.. RB/WR grabs his helmet and flips it up in the air. It just is NEVER varied enough. Why not keep the old team intros in the game and add these little things one by one each year? so there are many options on what could happen when the game starts? it makes no sense. and as far as the real-time celebrations after plays.. I've seen the JJ watt salute, the dribble basketball fadeaway.. and the lebron celebration already many more times than I should have seen them at this point.

And this is just from the demo. I never understood why EA takes things out of their game. I remember one year they had authentic team entrances. How about adding those for some variety. What about the QB storylines they had one year? You're right, I've watched a few vids and seen the same celebrations/animations over and over.

It might've been because the cpu was running the ball. I know at least in Madden 25, the cpu is not subjected to true step like the user is. The animations will start and stop short so the cpu can go where it wants to go. That's why I was really hoping true step was expanded on for all players.
