i dont know about you but when im sprinting down field i'm pretty much straight up, the only problem is when the players are accelerating or getting through the hole they are still straight up, they should have a low center of gravity especially hitting the hole.

The running animation still looks ROBOTIC Though

Man that is awesome! The whole thing...

Funny to see/read where people are whining. I get amused by it

Ain't noboyd catching jacobs with a 10 yard lead with him already running top speed and only running about 50 yards...Not sure what football some people have played or watched in real life...

I am excited for Pro tak and even though I think the hits could be a little more violent and hard,I am stoked of this new innovation in Madden.Can't wait to see Lendale piled on in my franchise!

I thought the reason they showed us these videos was so we could critique them and help devs improve upon it.

At least it's Brandon Jacobs bowling through tacklers and not Darren Sproles.

My only critique would be that either the running backs just fall straight down or they break it for 50+ yrds. I would like to see them break the tackle more often but the force of the hit still makes them fall to the ground.

Heres another example of what I mean watch at 1:06...

[doHTML][/doHTML]

Mike Sellers doesn't really break free of the pile, he carries the pile down the field and when he finally gets free his momentum forces him to the ground. I haven't really seen this.

True but we don't really know when this video was so we don't know what all has been fixed and what still needs to be worked on. Also there is a huge difference between critiquing the videos and just straight up bashing it.

I personally think it looks good. Sure the running could look more fluent but I will take the current running animation considering they have added/fixed a lot of things and I don't think we know all the details yet.
