I don't know how effective PMs would be. I can only imagine how many PMs Ian has in his box every day.... I would not expect him to be able to go through even a small % of them.

I even made threads WHEN HE WAS ON.

And lots of users came in and said "I'd love to see if Ian/EA fixed this".

Heh, as entertaining as it would be to send them a cake, I don't think it'd be appropriate. I guess I don't get that upset anymore as I used to because I'm resigned to the notion that nothing will change for a while; atleast not until they change engines. A lot of people here won't like to hear that, but I hope next time around they'll actually think before they design it with the community in mind and hopefully it won't be such a bitch for the dev team to implement important features.

Don't believe everything. He said they fixed the QB throwing animation, dropback animation but yet it looks the same.

Don't believe everything you hear, especially from EA.
Understood but my point wasnt towards what and what not to believe from EA but for people to stop whiny about the same thing lol If there was just ONE thread and everybody ran in there and complained, it wouldnt be so bad you know? Everyone is entitled to their opinions...

The QB horrific throwing animation looks exactly the same, the dumb way he walks around in the pocket looks the same. Same horrible running animations. The animations/game still looks robotic and not smooth.

Also, is it just me or does that first pic look like the CB superman block?

I know that they tried to show the Superbowl but it still looked bad, the least they could have done was get Holmes catching animation right at the end.

I'm pretty disappointed right now. I was expecting better.
I think your statements are very accurate. The animations look terrible IMHO too much like last year's game.

Re: Was anyone else extremely disappointed from the trailer?

A lot of this muckety muck back n forth could have been avoided.

Ian has shut off his PM's as of a few weeks ago. He was getting too many and it's hunker down time at EA.

Has anyone read the Ian thread? Geez, he said there are some critical issues to tune the game trailer, animations is one of them.
