I really like that the locomotion will apply to all 22 players on the field.

Mmm. Seems like these changes could make the gameplay better but goodness does it look strange and unnatural. Running animations in a football game must be one of the hardest things to get to look lifelike because Madden hasn’t ever been able to do it

Running animations are still pretty janky, but I have to say, that video impressed me. Still going to wait to hear some real impressions though.

Color me intrigued!!!

I can see some movement improvements

Main thing is AI usage to really establish Player Differentiation.

Do shoulder pads look bulkier to anyone else? Looks odd on some of the defensive tackles/ends

I actually thought the sprinting animation looked good in the open field.

I don't like the "one cut" animation. I don't understand why the player is going into a high-knee animation. A "one cut" runner from a zone blocking scheme standpoint is going to plant that foot and accelerate out of the cut.

I would like to see more footage with 11 on 11 from a gameplay perspective. Perhaps it looks better in motion. I would also forgive an ugly animation if it functioned realistically in a football sense.

Love hearing that they want to get away from dice rolls in open field tackle interactions. I'll take it with a grain of salt, of course; But I'll always respect a product that is trying to seperate skill levels across the user base within the game's mechanic.
