Ahhh. I didn't see that. That did look good. They need WAAAAY more of that... and for outside moves, and skilled DTs, and LBs... and lateral equivelents for LBs & d-linemen beating blocks on run plays. And add some animations where the blocker wins by riding the defender beyond the play on moves like that.

Still way too much stationary blocking though. But EA's working. Maybe it's a matter of AI at this point and getting the situations to occur more often. With Madden having a month advantage on NCAA, they may finally address one of my concerns.

I might have to contact the Madden-Could-Be-Sweet-Next-Year Club for some literature.
