I'm sold. It's not without its flaws, but they finally fixed a lot of core problems. Players actually run similar to human beings and not malfunctioning mechwarrior bots. There is a pocket, fleeing it is a gamble and QBs can be pressured. IF we can turn down the frequency of the "lame duck throws while getting hit", that's a great addition.
This is a much different game, not just the typical EA approach to overcompensate in one direction with overdone sliders and superhuman plays. It is possible to throw over a DB who is sitting 7-10 yards in front of a play. Out routes and deep patterns can be thrown beyond the WR. You no longer need 5 yards of separation to complete passes.
Defenders rip ballcarriers down from behind by the shoulderpads too often, halting their progress immediately. But overall it's better to err on that side than the guaranteed extra 2-3 yards when tackled from behind.
The gang tackling and ability to both break free and get the ball stripped are a nice addition. As long as those aren't overdone (or if so, can be tweaked by sliders), that's a nice addon.
QBs no longer throw it right to a DL that you change from blitzing to dropping into coverage.
They've finally gone to work on the core problems in this game. Now if they would just take care of some of the inexcusable basic errors, like rosters & uniforms, they'd be fine. In this day and age, you could round up a dozen volunteers for each major team to fact-check your work.
