Fan animations..Ian...whats up buddy? Care to explain this some? PLease tell me you guys are incorpereating last gen presentation things to the next gen platform. Man, I am getting very excited...one question and hopefully its not too early to tell. I actually liked tom hammond as a commentary. I have heard him before and hes not bad, it was just that you can tell not a whole lot was done with him in the studio in comparison to collinsworth. Chris they had as more fluid and strung together audio clips where as tom was like a last min kind of audio and it sounded robotic and joe montana sportstalk footballish. IS tom staying and a lot more done with him or is he replaced?

It seemed to me that Hammond did a lot of voiceover work, but Collinsworth sounded 100x better because he is mainly giving generic comments about a player. They don't necessarily have to be context-specific. Hammond is the play-by-play guy, and probably had to record at least double the audio Chris did; and then it all gets spliced together in-game. That's where it comes off as robotic, in the splicing together. But EA knows that, I don't want to start a "thing" about it.

On-topic...imagine a whole row of crowd members just dancing after a TD. The player comes over to celebrate, and the crowd is so busying busting a move, they just ignore the player.

Hey Ian what would you consider sideline animations? low impact or high impact moves, I would love to see dynamic breakaway sideline animations.

[Unmasked]

Pretty cool. Also, it'd be cool to see coaches/players on the sideline running down the field with a guy that has an empty field ahead of him.
