You don't see them as blow ups, I do. Some others in this thread do also. We'll have to agree to disagree.

It seems that weight would be necessary to carry them forward, and the lack of weight would justify them not moving forward, so when you say they have no way and are being blown up and still moving forward, then it seems... off.

The players are clearly not bracing for impact of the tackle though, and that's leading to hits that appear more violent than they would be otherwise.

It would be nice for everyone to be on the same page with regards to video footage, and considering the link I provided is actual gameplay footage, and not a video of tackle alley that's meant to show case the extreme hits, I think it would be well worth your time.

If you watch the gameplay, that's not always the case, but you're right about players not bracing for impact and that's leading to bigger hits.

Whatever tweaking they did to it I heard nothing about, and it probably came after I stopped keeping up on the game as much.

Yes, it's in game action, but it's not what the gameplay looks like. Please watch the gameplay footage so you can discuss this knowledgeably. Discussing gameplay based on a demo meant to hightlight big hits (tackle alley), instead of actual gameplay is a waste of time.

Looked cool as hell, but still the same thing.

No.. the most recent one was not on PSN. Please watch the video I posted earlier in this thread.

Here it is again. This is what we have been discussing when we say gameplay.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. All I can go off is the content and tone of your responses.
