This is not bad!

Pretty cool

I wonder how much stats matter and effect how much these happen against certain players. Hopefully it's not totally random and some 70 overall can do this to a elite tackler all the time

I can't remember the exact stats, but these only trigger when 2 players with certain attributes which are close enough, lock horns together

There’s also a new mechanic in the run game that can be used on both offense and defense – Tackle Battles. This is a twitch mechanic that gives uers the ball the ability to influence the outcome of tackles as both the ball carrier or the defender making the tackle.

Whenever a defender and ball carrier get locked up in a standing tackle, a random face-button will appear on screen – the first player in the tackle battle to hit that button, wins the tackle battle. For the defender, this means completing the tackle and for the ball carrier, a win is breaking the tackle. The size of the timing window and the frequency of tackle battles are determined by the ratings and styles of both players in the tackle battle. A bruiser running back is more likely to get a tackle battle with a linebacker than a cornerback.

Looks terrible....

This looks terrible. Seems like EA goes backwards sometimes. Why rely more on icons and meters? With today's graphics, why are they not trying to rid the game of them? Why would EA want us looking at anything but the virtual players? No need for distracting icons.

If there's anything that could simply rely on button mashing, it's breaking tackles.
