Unfortunately, this seems all too accurate. Just by virtue of sig animations being seemingly ignored, one could gather that they've gotten away from them. Smh...
I remember pointing out how sig animations weren't working to a dev last year. I was told, "I have no idea, I don't even look at the QB when I play." That's not to mock the team but rather to point out that when you suggest they aren't a priority, it passes the smell test.
