I will happily agree with 2 of those 3 and disagree with ratings matter. If I see someone in 19 getting beat at the line, I look into why it happened. ie Jimmy Graham is a terrible run blocker and anyone on D can basically rag doll him. So, I feel ratings matter more so in 19 vs any other year.
Agree with the physics and canned animations, no doubt. I'd also throw in clean up more RPM(happens a few times per game on my end), get rid of that awful 360 degree animation with the CPU QB avoiding the blitz and throwing across body. Also, warping can leave any time as well.
And just to add on to a quoted post, gameplay is king for me, always has been, always will be. My point was, there are other people feel that cfm, presentation or equipment and player authenticity is more important than gameplay. Even though I may disagree with their priorities, I won't point out they are wrong. (I was guilty of that previously)
