I would certainly agree with you man. But, based on what I actually saw and played, things are looking up here. Now, as for how they are using the attributes... UGH!!! Some of these answers are not impressive. But, believe it or not, I say give them a little wiggle room with this one. Just a little.

The running game is the best part of Madden (minus the overpowered blocking at times) but I love how it feels having the ball in my hand. They just have to add some weight/momentum to what they already have control wise. That way maybe we won't have to play the game on slow to get the players to move at realistic speeds overall.

It sounds like next gen M25 will have the weight and momentum affect the ball carrier so that is something to look forward to.

Some of the things I'm seeing mentioned in this thread as 'improvements' were supposed to be in the current gen games because of the infinity engine. The main selling point for Madden 13 was the new engine that would make player size and momentum finally matter.

Size and momentum will never really matter if the game is based on animations, unless they lock lock certain animations to certain body archetypes. For example Brandon Jacobs will be able to pull off those super truck moves they added to madden 25 but Chris Johnson cannot.

As is stands every player has access to the same animations with the exception of the precision modifier moves.

Well, they didn't at E3. I'll say that much. But much could have changed since then.

Feels like forever since we got some new info, hopefully we'll see something on Monday.
