Honestly I hope they are building something on the side to release one of these years, but the animations and the quality of them is the biggest thing holding this game back. One reason why the game doesn't feel fresh to alot of people. Alot of the same animations from last gen still trigger often.

I did love the new handoff/playaction animations added last year. Best animations in the game honestly.
I'm all for new animations but until they actually address locomotion with real inertia/momentum and weight the game will never feel right. Too many times I see Eddie Lacy with 12 yards of steam, get contacted by a corner and immediately stop any forward momentum he has, no driving forward just hitting a brick wall.

True Step needs to be implemented to all 22 guys on the field, it's great that the ball carrier has to decelerate and accelerate and can't zig zag but when the other 21 players don't adhere to the same rules things get wonky.

My biggest peeve is the warping/shifting on catch animations, I'd rather the catch animation play out and the wr not even get a hand on the ball than having him warp to be able to make a play.
