There's no denying the fun I had playing that unfinished version of the game, but as open as they were to suggestions, and as easily & quickly as some things were addressed on the spot, I expected more.

I assumed footwork, especially for defenders, and the pocket would be addressed. Major let downs at this point.

But there's still time... I think.

The game play sequences in this video are really short, and we don't get a side view of the players running styles when they have the ball, however from the back view it sure looks like there are new running animations in the game. Of course, that might just be wishful thinking on my part. Ian said they were working on new animations, gave us a peak at one them (which looked far better than the old ones), told us to be patient for the new ones as they were reworking all running animations, and then never spoke on the subject again.

I'm basing my guess at new running animations based on the arm/shoulder movement of the players who have the ball.

What do you guys think? New running animations?

Yes. I have a bad habit of playing as if players will respond realistically. I remember throwing a few pics not expecting defenders to react so quickly.

Hopefully Ian & company realize how much of a gameplay issue this is.

I do remember being punished for over running plays, but that's probably because defenders plant for 180 degree changes of direction. Hopefully it's easily tuned to account for more subtle changes in direction.

How about HIGHLIGHTS at Half-Time? Are refs going to throw yellow flags for penalties. Are coaches going to throw the red flag for challenges? What about weather effects? Are the fans going to wear proper attire that fits the weather? If it rains or snows people should be wearing rain jackets & snow coats? Is the grass going to look muddy in rainy conditions as the players trample on it. Grass should kick up as players plant their feet with change of direction. We had most of these things on the PS2.
