Is it just me or does this game look really bad in motion?

The running animations, along with the QB dropbacks and the default throwing animations REALLY need to be reworked.

Pretty much how I feel. The thing that I wonder about is if the game has to animate that way to get better looking tackles, because that part of the game has improved a lot over the last few years. Watch the Cowboys/Redskins video with Zeke Elliott. Just awful...

Why'd you quote me? I didn't say I had a issue with them. They look fine to me....

I personally don't think that has anything to do with it. It's just a lack of priority to get the game looking beautiful in motion. They clearly can produce good looking realistic animations(some of the catches, jukes, and playaction animations look great), it's just a lack of effort every year to get those animations all over the field.

Yeah player movement is a mixed bag right now for me too, hopefully next year/when they go to frostbite they will focus more on core running animations.

I really hope and pray, because if they don't improve the animations when they move to frostbite, I'm just giving up. I know the player models will look better when they make the switch, so that will be a definite plus.

Lets hope so. Another thing that contributes to this is after the ball is snapped the CPU has an intended path for the ball carrier to go. When you use the stick to take the ball carrier off of that path things start to get ugly. I've tried to lay off the LS and let it play out as long as possible, but it doesn't really help.

I also think the jump to infinity was premature, and now they're stuck with it....
