So, players are still running on a turntable?

Guys, come on. This is how frothy rage gets stirred up. You guys should honestly know better than to consider this stuff.

ea has reps on these boards don't they? Asking for a statement (that appears to me that multiple poster want) doesn't seem too unreasonable.

No, EA has employees who come here on their own free time to read what is said. There is no appointed rep. on these boards. You will not likely get an answer, so keeping at it will only cause unrest for no reason. You having been here long enough should know this.

Even if someone from EA comes on here, that isn't a question they are allowed to answer.

There's no need for them to make a statement on this forum. They're advertising QB dropback animations for crying out loud. Believe me, if they do something as important as reworking the running/footplanting physics, they'll have a trailer and two blogs posted about it.

If you don't see it in any of the lead-up information, it means they didn't change anything.

Basically, just assume nothing was done until you see a trailer/blog telling you otherwise.

We know it isn't in this game. I just want to know if it has been talked about/ are they planning on it in the future. If they aren't then fine, just say that.

A Game Changer already answered the question for you in post #29.

Thats quoted from one of the game changers over at tradition sports who's had actual hands on. Now lets just hope that the devs keep it that way and dont fold under pressure to the arcade boys before release. Even if its not fully tuned back to our last gen standards I'll fully appreciate this. I'll take small steps. Gradually bringing it back is cool with me. As long as its not like the previous couple of years.

Words that crush my hope - 'tune', 'a bit', 'especially the ball carrier'.

'Tune' & 'a bit' doesn't imply the overhaul that's necessary. And 'especially the ball carrier' implies that the same rules don't apply for defenders.

I also don't remember foot planting being represented well last gen. There was some foot planting on major changes in direction - near 180 degrees - but nothing that stopped folks from swerving.
