Animations are not physics, come on guys there are real dynamic animation systems out there that can react to physics, even being used in real games like <insert all Rockstar games>.

That seemed dynamic to me. They aren't hand animating every collision possibility, so it must be based on their physics engine.

I haven't owned a Madden since '98. Is this the one to get now that the 9ers are supposed to be good?

You can still tell it's all controlled by keyed animations underneath :/

I guess EA is too cheap for Euphoria. (R* making a new Blitz with Euphoria would be amazing.)

Was about to say: collision still looks janky as shit. Really wish they'd either adopt Euphoria technology, or create their own. For all the problems Backbreaker had, poor animations were not one of them.

At least a couple of shots in there were suspendable. I wonder if that will be in the game?

It still seems so robotic and stiff compared to Backbreaker.If EA and Euphoria can't come to no terms because of R* then maybe a new Blitz with Euphoria technology is in need?
