The more videos I watch, the less I seem to see the impact of the Infinity engine

Not really, but good that you are speaking with your wallet.

I'd say that's pretty much what people expect.

Its only going to matter if they use the right foundation for the game, and the right personal. Sony use to do NBA games , and they all sucked.

guys must also be forgetting the NFL Gameday Series.

What else should have priority over the building blocks of the game of football?

OL/DL makes everything work on the field. It's the basics of generating and preventing offense. Having that aspect of the game limited and stale impacts every single snap on both sides of the ball.

I agree, which is why I'd advocate for a solution to it, not a band aid. Spend time on doing it right once, not multiple band aids.

It guarantees a fresh look at football. Backbreaker wasn't good overall but I enjoyed tackle alley and the unpredictable physics. 2k clearly did the line play better in their games and it's hard to deny it's more fun to run the ball in that game than any other. NFL Fever did read and lead style passing that was unique and fun. I have Tecmo Throwback on my console and I still like that game from time to time.

Variety is the spice of life as they say.

I just wish they spent the two years "under the covers" getting it right, instead of having yet ANOTHER year of whatever it is that it uses now.

Or apply Infinity to OL/DL as well as to the clipping issues. If they can put in a new physics animation engine in 6 months...(from Jan to June when E3 arrived)

Why wasn't it a priority (and seems like it never has been a priority)? That's what I'm saying.
