Sim, hopefully you can answer this as this sounds like what I've been asking for since I've been on OS.
At 1:12 of the vid, the Rams' #79 drives a SF defender WAAAAY down field. I'm hoping that's the vertical displacement in action. If so...
What I'm more concerned about is the lateral displacement. Are engaged players able to move laterally?
One of my biggest issues has been that engaged players are stuck in one spot until someone wins. It kills the spacing on outside runs since none of the engaged defenders can flow toward the play. Because of that, RBs end up one-on-one with CBs way too often. Unlike real life where an engaged edge defender can still do his job, contain, Madden defenders have to disengage to have an impact. If lateral displacement is what I think it is, this issue may be addressed.
I've seen DEs get pressure before, but it always required quick disengagement. Can DEs get up field while engaged? Can they make a strong edge rush but have the OT ride them beyond the QB? If so, is the speed of these animations on par with real life?
