Yeah it's pretty noticeable from that camera angle; that's why the no refs and chain gangs jumps out. Like someone else said, it's like watching a full stadium practice. If they'd concentrate on adding "little things" to the game it would help liven up the gameplay.

I agree w/your post-play comment also. It's improved over last year though. Getting the game up to 60fps makes the anims look better, but I still think the way they've done player strafing/lateral movement looks weird

The 1st guy fell off as soon as the 2nd guy cleaned up, and he fell to his back in the same dead-roach style I've always seen. I still haven't seen 2 defenders engaged with a ball carrier at the same time. EA's hype men said we'd see guys pile onto tackles.

Agreed. I think I even saw an Olineman start blocking one guy, pass him off to another Olineman, and pick up another rusher. Nice!

What I didn't see was this type of interaction between DEs and OTs on pass plays. I want to see a DE get blocked, but still get up field to contain QBs(users who roll out/scramble every play). And free lineman still stand around waiting for blitzers that are never coming. I want to see them help.

There was some nice new one-on-on stuff, but I still haven't seen 3+ players interacting.

But that's a common animation from NCAA in the past.
