In APF2K8 the HB would put his hands out and shift to the right or left depending on which side he's running towards. This needs to be extended to contact by tacklers who run into the HB / Tackle packs as well. On the QB contact, HB running contact, the animations would actually effect gameplay. In all other scenarios it's pretty much only going to add to the immersion / experience by avoiding unrealistic scenarios such as the HB running in place.

Exactly. This has been one of my pet peeves for the longest time. When they hit the back of a lineman and run in place, I can't tell you how many times I have seen this playing madden. Definitely need to fix this since the running game(I think!?) is supposed to be at the top of the list this year for the madden devs to fix up.

man i was just getting ready to post that rgiles. it wasnt the best, but it was there. suprised alot of ppl hadnt mentioned that this was one of the hated "we had it in madden '__, but we took it out for no good reason features". just like the signature running styles, but thats another topic for another day....god if they would ONLY build and stop taking away, where would we be now??
