Running animation.

[Gagnon39]

I did a search and didn't see anything on this topic for Madden 13. I know its been discussed before but I'm just curious if EA has made the running animation more realistic. From the looks of the videos I've seen so far it doesn't look good. For me this is one of the main reasons I don't buy Madden. Every time I see a replay I almost start laughing at how bad the running animation is. Has this been addressed?

No still the same.

Then I won't be buying, again. I think that the running animations on the old Xbox were much better than the one's on the 360. Of all the animations to get right I would think this one would be the most important.

Nope. Still a no go

I agree with you .The running animations should be the most important animation in the game. I wont be buying madden either this year..madden 2004 and madden 2009 on Last Gen in my opinion was the best running animations..

What's more disappointing is how bad they've gotten since M10. NCAA 13 has some of the ugliest looking run animations.i.e. football being held in place down at the player's hip. Ugh, they look so bad. M12/NCAA12 didn't get running animations right, but they've regressed so much to 13.

I'm kind of curious if Madden's juke is going to be as busted as NCAA's. That hop juke is terribly slow.

Yeah from the videos the juke looks just as bad. No idea who thought it was a good idea to add that. It just looks terrible. Also the run animations in NCAA 13 are definitely terrible. I thought I was the only one who noticed them holding the ball extra low at times.

I am not trying to start a bash-session on this topic but how is this not an issue that is brought up constantly (maybe it is) to EA? Do they realize how bad it looks? Surely they do. The only reasoning I can come up with is maybe somehow the animations are tied to the tackling system/animation and have to look that way for some reason.
