Animations EA's next-gen football games have always had very quirky animations. The players don't give the illusion of running, cutting or jumping. They just kind of glide across the field. 2. Passing Game Once again, the passing game doesn't get any love. There is still barely any control in the passing game. Its either a bullet pass or lob, nothing in betweem. Putting any touch on the ball is impossible. 3. Weird interactions between players When WR's and DB's bump its a very akward and weird interaction, like the engine doesn't know what to do. I think EA needs to implement the physics system from their NHL and Fifa series to help in these situations. Bumping and small interactions need to be much more realistic.

i agree especially on #1, they need different throwing animations and running animations to make these guys feel different. They also really need to nail foot planting because guys slide and make such unrealistic movements when cutting and running. I think thats why it feels so fast for people, because there doesn't seem to be weight or foot planting that contribute towards the physics in the game.
