I do have to say that I like the infinity engine they are moving to. It was a huge reason I loved Madden for the first time on this generation of consoles....
Its not an "engine" at all. Its a mass collection of new tackle animations.
If it was a fucking "physics engine" then you wouldn't see Ahmad Bradshaw stop and cut so fast that his upper body trails behind his lower bodylike a god damn cartoon.
Strength ratings are still fucked - no angle logic (doesn't look like they'll ever attempt either) pass rush is garbage (you're either locked up with your blocker and going nowhere or instantly blowing past him. No consistency in that department.
Defensive awareness and alignment is beyond fucked. Still can't check TE's at the line, but hey, who needs them to NOT have a free release?
Being able to get constant clean jams on WR's off the LOS is incredibly annoying.
Halfbacks or anyone coming out of the backfield into the pattern still aren't properly defended. TE's down the seem are uncoverable unless you manually do it.
There's just no point to play online. Its a bunch of kids and adults who've never played a down of real football in their lives, know nothing of scheme and execution but everything about cheese and nano's.
Time to take my money elsewhere.
I'm done with EA football games.
edit: May I suggest the bolded to everyone else as well.
