The game needs to be blown up and re-done, and until the developers realize this... we will be getting more of the same. No patching or band aid fixes can help the terrible foot-planting & zig zag running, the horrendous passing game with morphing defenders. The brutal OL/DL interactions, and just the overall lack of animations in the game. Didn't they say 430 catch animations or some bs? Why do I always see the same 5? We are being lied to year after year and it is depressing.
Something that I often see go unnoticed in the critiquing on here is the little things.. what happened to all the little things in presentation? Being able to choose what type of event a game was.. breast cancer, playoffs, regular season...etc. Now it is only exhibition or super bowl. Why can't I choose the temperature? (it was in plenty of past maddens). The developers remove relatively important functions of the game to give us gimmicks and failed additions year after year.
