I'm still seeing the same animations we've had for far too long. Tackling looks nice and graphics are obviously amazing. Hopefully presentation is improved and we do find a few signature animations.

I'm now looking forward to playing this in 5 weeks.
What really stood out to me is that they actually used an internal presentation that included a lot of technical information about what they're doing. This is a clear sign that they understand how detail driven a large percentage of their fan base is and they're attempting to present their efforts with a more technical approach and I appreciate that.

Seams like this team realizes the majority that buy sports games want realism and they need to balance out arcade and sim gameplay to continue driving sales for the title. I'll support their efforts as long as they just keep driving the game forward, the past several years have just been brutal because it really felt like a lot of excuses and spinning around in circles.
