nothing about the video got me really excited and nothing about the video turned me off.

Yeah it is. I was just responding to the comment he made though about the Oline needing to be stronger

The O-Line needs to be smarter and more technically sound. They need to move players outside. I don't think "strong" has anything to do with it, they're in retreat on passing plays.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE the new Deep Ball camera. GREAT addition.

Now that I can agree with. But I would really like for them to look into some more realistic protections. I think they need to scrap the psychic Offensive line blocking in head to head games and make people call protections at the line. You sink or swim on your protection call. I hate psychic Oline blocking.

It seems like EA just needs to rebuild their tackling engine and collission detection. No Gang tackles with more than 2 defenders. Some of the collissions are awkward and make no sense. Look at when the Bills DB pretty much bumps the Colts WR with his shoulder pad and the receiver falls flat on his back. Some of the stuff just defies physics.

But as long as the game play is good ill be happy.

They actually did rework the tackling. Not sure how much of that is showing in this video though, but one of the videos Ian posted showed a lot of new tackling.

Having been playing APF extensively the last 2 months... it does not have 3 man gang tackles. Neither does 2k5. Stupid myth. It has 2 man gang tackles that occasionally interrupt a one man gang tackle... so every time you THINK you see a 3 man tackle, what you're seeing is one guy fall off the tackle and two guys take his place.
