Re: Base on the last 3 years...what animations have to go or be cut back?

There are actually some pretty aggressive catch animations that rarely ever trigger. There are actually some decent DB swat and pass break up animations that rarely trigger as well.

We end up getting too many "catch it on the hip" "alligator arm" "twisting torso" animations when more aggressive "go get the ball" animations would be more appropriate.

The synchronized over the shoulder catch with the WR and DB is pretty bad.

I would like to see more near miss passes where the defender and receiver go to the ground only to have the ball short hop in there. Some just beyond the reach of the receiver passes would be nice as well.

Blind swats.

Too many gravity and physic defying swats especially by LBs. I think the problem isn't as bad as some people make it out be but when the LBs body is going one way he should not be able to jump in the other direction.

Not really digging the up around the chest hug tackle and roll over animation. It's okay, just happens at weird times and far too often.

Low hit stick tackles need to trigger when you do them. Very random. Used to be very responsive. If it's a timing thing make the defender fall on his face. We'll get the timing right. More DBs should be low tackling vs chest high tackling.

Too many stonewall chest bump tackles.

D linemen steamrolling O linemen happens too much.

D linemen getting pushed to the ground happens WAY too much.

Elusive guys need to be more elusive. No animation to take out but juke moves need to be boosted up. Never feel Hester is a threat on returns. Chris Johnson never shakes you. I miss back jukes and the slightly exaggerated jump cuts where you could make defenders miss in the open field.

The dumb squat thing players do after plays. QBs did it a lot last year after they threw the ball. RBs do this too on passes to the flat. They decide to do the "take a dump" and let the ball hit them in the head instead of trying to catch the ball.
