How about for OL picking up stuntz and blitz from the DL and LB twisting and stunting when they blitz. For example a guard coming out to pick up an OLB.

I dont understand the point of posting with out reading the article first but anyways... I think it will be great. To many times i have been on a big drive and try to cap it off with what looks like the perfect slant to the corner of the endzone only for a corner to come off another WR withought missing a step and jump right infront of my perfect pass. Cant wait to see some vids with this implemented

Before i start my useless rant, i want to say Thank you Ian and company for these updates. It really is going to go a long way if you guys truly tend to these communities interactions.

Now on the topic at hand, not to sound ungrateful or anything, but is this new feature anything more than just a eye candy? Does it really affect the game since the models are running of the A.I. and not vision?

I know lots of people have complained for this head tracking thing, but i don't really see it being a game changer in anyway shape or form. If the DB sees the ball or not, his A.I. will react to it the same way right?

This will be great if it works well. I second that it should be implemented for the OL, and for RB's in the backfield and picking up blocks

Good stuff. Will try and think up some ideas for this. I'm sure this will be to 10 pages by the end of the game.

Edit: If the QB cannot see the DE coming from his blindside he shouldn't be getting rid of the ball off his backfoot (Robo QB).

This is great news!!! There's nothing worse than having a DB leap straight up into the air and knock the ball down without even looking.

I wish we could see an example of an DB or WR actually tracking the ball in order to provide some serious feedback. I know you guys will have that soon for us, can't wait to see it.

No. That's what part of the technology is to prevent I believe. Most of it sounds visual to me as well, but I believe it's also suppose to prevent defensive backs from doing stuff like this. But it's also suppose to give them the ability to look back at the ball when they're in step with the receiver.

Sounds cool but IMO this game needs a completely new engine for me to buy it again. I get it ever year and within a month im bored because I feel like i've done this all before.
