Few things I noticed:

Players lowering their head for impact. Every single shot shows this. These are the "transition" animations I was talking about so that the jump from running to interaction isn't so jarring.

Camera flashes in the audience only happen on TDs / big events. Look at the Jacobs TD gif that was just posted. You'll see the crowd before the TD and there are no flashes. When he scores and spikes the ball you'll see camera flashes. This means that they must have built some more audience logic to react at the proper times. Hopefully this includes the sounds so that the crowd is more aware of the game situation.

Pro Tak animations are smooth as butter. I'm not sure if Valdarez would agree but these animations look very realistic imo.

Player momentum seems to be drastically improved. Still definitely could be better, but Ian said this is an area he'll be working closely on with the remaining time he has. Movements seem deliberate and "physics based".
