The one thing I noticed from the vid, that I haven't seen anyone else call out, is it looks like they have solved the problem pinning the footplant to the field, as well as creating a proper separation between bodies on tackles so the bodies do not warp through the field or appear to float above it.

This is what the locomotion engine is supposed to do. In the past Madden hasnt had ANY kind of real locomotion system so the result was gliding around, morphing etc. I dont know if you have ever played FIFA but they have a great locomotion system, and ever since it was introduced FIFA has not suffered from the problems you mentioned above.

Looking great!

If that is what the actual game looks like in motion than I will be very impressed. Can't wait to see more.

I am a little concerned about the "slipping on the miss tackle" animation. I saw it a few too many times in less than 1min.

Notice the shoulder movement in the new NCAA 11 running animation. That's something APF2K8 had right, and I tried to point out in the Running Animations thread in the Madden forums.

I saw that too, hopefully it's not a return/replacement of the "greased pig" from '09.

a few were the exact same play from different replay angles though.

I agree. Then again, they may just be showing that for effect. What I'm more worried about is it seems like if you juke a guy, he has no chance what so ever in making a play again. Some of those defenders fell right off the screen lol. I hope that's just for effect too otherwise the juke seems like it's gonna be all powerful.

Yeah, I'm hoping it was just an attempt to show off how well it works and won't become an issue in gameplay.

More than likely that's just to show how it works.

Since acceleration matters this year, I hope EA went through the player ratings and made sure no one had ridiculous acceleration attributes that didnt deserve it.
