Well, you see, back in the days when they didn't have as many, they were able to get the ones that they did have right. As a result, with fewer animations to worry about, the game played much smoother. MLB 06: The Show had far fewer, yet it played great. In the end, you notice the animations more during cutscenes than during the actual gameplay.

While I don't agree with this I totally get where you are coming from. And I must admit, more animations can lead to more problems with implementation and triggers. ALSO, I have to admit more animations have diminishing returns.

I think that these problems should be tackled head on as opposed to avoided, because even though there will be bumps along the path it will lead to a better product in the end. You make a good point for avoiding though and instead focusing on a few really good animations.

TL;DR: You made a logical and constructive point that I just happen to disagree with. Bravo!
