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.

You aren't quitting your Florida coaching job in the OD are you?

On topic, fix the line play and you may be able to keep a lot of the sim style players. EA admits they sacrifice realism for fun gameplay. Which is funny because that "fun" gameplay is what makes it so un-fun at times for sim style players.

Imagine if they got actual football coaches, players, experts, etc. to test this game instead of a bunch of nerds that no nothing about the sport. They just want three plays that work and to throw bombs to their 99 SPD WR. :(

This guy probably fits the category. http://forums.traditionsportsonline...ameplay-improvements-what-it-all-means.97433/
