That was great to read. Alot of effort and attention is being put into this aspect of the game. Im very happy.

I want to add something. When a WR is about to get jammned and wants to lose the Db, its more of a individual skill that doesnt reflect how well he runs his route. As a Wr u teach yourself a way to lose a Db who wants to jam you at the line.

Some use a quick jab step one way then go the other, and some may run in place with some quick stutter steps, then jab one way and go the other, and some just use strength.

A gd DB that can jam well also has good strength , and sometimes waits for the wr to run a yrd or 2 then jams. Its not always at the line. They use different ways to accomplish this.

Please take all this into consideration and use the right animations for this aspect of the game.

Its weird but getting away from a jam or if your a DB thats jamming at the line is like a whole other mini game, and skill set. Its really important to understand this.

Thank you EA for really working on the WR and DB interactions.

Honestly, Its not easy to sell me a games going to be good, when my minds already made up, but I have to say, those are some great improvements in those area's of the game. Having WR fall every once in a while(weather determined/balance rating?) is a great idea. Hopefully the IA is boosted here, so that the Defensive backs even grab a INT every once and a while when a receiver is down, making a easy grab for the DB.

Nice work Ian, keep moving forward!
