I've noticed it on occasion, but I'm typically not even paying attention to the players post-play unless it's showing a replay.

The zig zagging is the worst part, but I also think they cover way to much ground with the steps they take, which makes them appear to be floating.

Totally. They body floats along with incongruous leg movement. It just looks weird.

I was just watching a youtube video of a game being played, and the guy was moving with big ben outside the pocket to the left side and he looked like a giraffe running when he was back peddling towards the sideline. They definitely need to have them take smaller steps.

I can only hope they have intentions to fix it this year and have just not talked about yet. If you add 430 catch animations, how can you not touch the running animations??? Running is such a basic fundamental aspect of the game, I would think you would start there before you do anything.

they're passable at this point. they used to really bother me. but now i don't really notice them.

edit:

i just watched a vid of madden 2003 and it is pretty sad how that game's running animations completely outclass that of madden 2013's.

You nailed it with this description. Well like the new team on Madden said. This is only the beginning for them.

They addressed some really important areas of the gameplay. Hopefully next year they will target animations and the game within the lines.

Now if they can't get animation right by next year than it is obvious that the engine they use is great for graphics , but not good for animations.

I agree. If running animations and footwork, along with interaction overall(especially OL/DL) isn't addressed, I will just give up hope until they get acquainted with the next gen systems.
