I am so much more confident for the future...I realize that everyone is pretty smitten with some of the things that 2k has done with OL/DL interaction, and I just saw this video:

Watching the LG on this play...

So all they have is long canned animations for "get engaged" moves. If this was in any way truly dynamic, the DL would have peeled off and grabbed the quarterback...but instead he just kept going right by him in a pretty unrealistic manner.

We can absolutely do way better than this when we start to implement more realistic edge rushing. Steering, branching, looping, etc...they have none of that - it just is a really long animation that looks good.

Thanks for whoever posted this in the pass animation thread...a really good example of exactly how they implemented it.
