No, that is wrong.
APF still animates better. Fact. The running game is way better. Dline and oline interaction blows madden away. The passing game is miles ahead. I mean look at QB drop backs. Heck simple things like the ball actually being in the QBs hands. I mean QB drop backs and throwing motion are so much better in APF it’s unbelievable.
Basically it’s 2k vs live animation wise. But the difference is much worse than that.
All of these are indisputable. Madden has improved its not terrible. Some new animations look really good. But it’s still so far behind. In many areas.
