Anyone else HATE this animation?

[DeLuX]

Its a good animation it just needs to not happen as much and when it does it should only happen to small guys.

And, once used, don't use them again for a good long while.

I could of sworn I heard them mention that they could track animation usage. I know they can track play usages but can't remember about animation.

I like the idea of having queues, but for that to happen I think they would need to have multiple animations of animations happening at certain angles. (Not sure if that made sense lol)

This reminds me of the facemask problem in 09. Still remember that explantion that the reason some faskmask animation never came up because certain angles needed to be taken and other factors.

Yup I freakin hate it! That and a good dozen others need to be removed. Send that piece of crap to the animation walk of shame....

No animations should be based on whats happening on the field and who's doing what to who.

I like the little tidbits of player specific commentary, but there are not enough for the players that they cover, and they don't cover enough players! They should do some for defensive guys as well, and for return guys like Hester and Bush.

I'm sick of hearing about Willis McGahee's knee injury in college every time he touches the ball. It's just stupid. Nonetheless, a very nice feature that was new in 09 that has a lot of potential!

THIS animation is SOOOOOOO annoying. A receiver runs a drag route and is past the DB with room ahead. You throw the ball, maybe leading towards the sideline away from the DB, and right before the ball gets to him, he spins around and loses ALL momentum. DB catches up and then the play is over. DUMB.

Agreed, but lets hope they have more than one animation for each circumstance.

Brandon Jacobs doesn't usually get hit like that, but I would like to see this in madden. This is not exclusive to Jacobs, I just want hurdles to be more dangerous. Of course they don't happen alot, but this proves that once you go airbourne anyone can get jacked up. It would be rare but it would be nice to see hits like this every once in while.

It would have to be a situation like this.
