O-Line and D-Line interaction must be represented in Madden 13.

Well, Madden 12 is done, and from the footage i've seen, the Line interaction still leaves a lot to be desired.

Here is a video, showing how important line play is:

There is no need to watch all of it, in fact, just watch the first run through of the APF 2k8 play. That is one of the most true to life animations i have ever seen. The DT didn't beat him outright (which is the only way an OLineman gets beat in madden) he beat him by about 80%. It wasn't enough to get the sack, but was enough to get through and impact the play positively for his team.

Show me 1 video where this EVER happens in madden. The blocking is static. Either you are beat, or you stay blocked, parallel to the line of scrimmage.

Uh, Madden 12 is NOT done... it will be worked on until it goes gold.

Yeah, they are going to implement an entirely new set of animations are they?

The game is being tweaked now. What ever animations are in the game, that is it. They have never patched new ones in, or taken old ones out. All they can do is limit or increase the frequency that they appear.

I have to agree with Pendo in that while Madden 12 is not done, they are not going to change the Oline/Dline interactions as they look the same as they have with every Madden on the new consoles.

I keep saying this to people in threads, but it's a pipedream. We ALL want better oline/dline interactions that are based on physics, weight, etc. But I just don't see it coming in the drastic manners that people want.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see massive improvements to it. But I personally believe that mistakes were made with the core game itself when it was originally designed that has left the current dev stuck. They're changing what they can, but I have a feeling that certain things aren't going to change.

We're going to see some improvement with the new collision system they have going (reducing suction, etc), but I think we're going to wait until Madden 17 until we see something that we really like.

If no one bought the game for 1 year we would see an unbelievable improvement.

Also, 2k might get the license soon, then we can actually have some competition.

Actually it has been done for months. They simply fix bugs now. All features have been done for several months.
