Yeah, some day we will get untucked jerseys, unbuckled chinstraps, and proper equipment. Until we get that stuff, they cant make much more progress toward realistic, gritty-looking players.

Yeah, they don't have any Nike gloves in the game at all and some in the game are as old as around 2003. The cleats are all old too and we still haven't gotten the team color ones from the M13 blog. And a lot of the face mask proportions are off as well.

As for the screenshot, it looks good. Definitely looks like something I never saw in M15. I remember when I was trying to replicate the M16 screenshots in M15 I couldn't even get my receiver to leave his feet and I don't think they ever looked back for the ball until it was right on top of them. This looks like a precursor to a potentially really nice animation but it's just a screenshot. The one thing I hope for when it comes to these animations and playouts is that there is multiple outcomes for each. I don't want to see this animation coming and know my guy is going to lose every time. All about looking good and being organic. Excited for E3.

It's a screenshot, and they aren't going to risk spoiling anything with E3 two days from now. You can do the same thing with a real picture of these two, just find one that happens to be before contact is made.

Speeding up the scenario a solid second to see a hand on a shoulder or arm spoils what they already told us and we've already seen in the trailer?

Still bad graphics in a dome, what is the cameraman on the right looking at? Hopefully the gameplay is amazing.

Not in a dome. And he's probably taking an action shot of A-A-RON!

Either in a dome or night game, why does the pic look dim?

It would not spoil anything. If anything it would get us more excited to see it in action.

On the other hand, I'm not getting excited over what appears to be a screenshot of two guys in separate animations.
