Does it not kick in until the animation of firing out of their stance ends? A little concerning to me.

I just said something about this, I don't see ANY true step in those pocket videos.

Depends on what they do with the defense. The defenders still look a little off to me. The oline being improved is great but if its like current gen with the run blocking then the game will still be way too unbalanced. Defense needs some major love.

Where are the referees?

That looked much better than the previous ESPN videos, nothing mind blowing graphics wise, however the blocking animations are leaps and bounds better

100% agree this is really an eye sore

I agree, the way the ball comes out of the QB's hand was bugging me out this whole generation... and now it looks like its still there for this Next Gen Madden.

What I gathered from those clips.

Line play, they improved the animations tremendously. Glad that it actually looks like the players are fighting for position now. Finally. Now they need to add in players being pushed forward or back.

Secondary animations and qb throwing motions, all look the same as current gen. The graphics definitely did not wow me.

Overall seems they are at least making pushes for some type of realism. Now i want to see if it translates into the way players move. No more fast twitch unrealistic cuts PLEASE. I want to see player weight and momentum actually matter now.

At this point still a no buy for me on NG but definitely looks better than what i expected...

Much better. Still will reserve judgment until we see live unedited (particularly off screen) gameplay
