I agree. Just a theory of mine, but I think EA football games are built with a focus on fancy jukes, spin moves, exiting TD passes, pick 6's...etc. But then then have to figure out how to back into these conclusions, and fill in the blanks of everything that occurred after the snap of the ball. And that can mean some wonky stuff, and fixes are bandaids that tend to screw something else up.

I hate to sounds like an old school "fundamentals" guy, but the game really does start in the trenches. If that was the foundation of the video game, and they got it right, it wouldn't be so hard to add on the next level of the play...the skill positions.

Again, just a theory of mine.
