Saw one in the Vick vid too. Nice addition! Finally! I hope they're frequent, and I hope DEs take the outside rush more times than not(CPU).

I believe they tried having DEs abandon run responsibilty on pass plays last year and take the outside rush. Now they have animations to match.

I hope there's some contain AI on run plays to go along with this.

Yes, you are the only one lol. And if you aren't you should be.

Like what they've done, and it looks a little better, but let's reign it in lol.

With all due respect to rgiles, what you are talking is still NOT in the game. Maybe it's in 12, but I doubt it.

It really wasn't noticeable to me at all. I can't remember if I did get stuck but, I don't think I did. My last game about a month and half ago.

Do you still get stuck? Have you played the game enough to know?

No man, that was the first thing I noticed when I saw the Vick video from ESPN First Take yesterday. Graphics definitely remind me of 2k in that sense, colors, models, and lighting.

Visually (besides the grass) looks the same as 11. The entire movement/flow/ animations look like 11 besides some of the tackling. The tackling is not what is expected of gang tackling. The hits seem to have a greater affect animation wise on the WR/RB. I guess that is a nice touch.
Player models all seem about the same height. I think EA should thin out some of the player models and give them more of an authentic look. QB throwing animation looks to be the same for each QB they showed.

Welp we will see if anything else changes.

We're talking about animations that trigger when the ball carrier runs into his blockers, correct? Yes, that is in M11.

Is it consistent? I'd say so. The difference, like I mentioned, is that they don't collide like they did in 2K5. They'll stick there hands out or attempt to squeeze through there. But it's way better than the 'Mario running' in years past.

If you still have the game, go into practice mode and try it for yourself. You can indeed interact with your blockers, whereas that wasn't the case before.
