out of curiosity, what difficultly level do you play on?

I ask this because on both games that animations and AI are completly different when you take it off of the default settings. Madden, on All Madden mode is the most realistic football game AI to date, hands down. The stats are par to those in real life, if you arent that good it definitly shows. You cant throw with accuracy while scrambling and off your back foot. Even the reviews state how much of a sleep madden took this year if you play on the all madden level. Things cant be real on the easier levels because it would be to hard. A beginer picks what receiver they are gong ot throw to before teh plays starts, much less look for the open guy and sets his feet first.

The main animation is espn is what I hate the most, running. Just plain old running. Its unnatural the way the the player moves. If you try to run at an angle he compleltly stops his forward momenturm, faces straight left, then faces the direction you want to run in. The animation is so bad that fast players get tackled by slow players just becuase they tried to turn. I had to adapt my running style knowing that natural movments were impossible. I hated that and for that reason along it makes the game miserable to play.
