New speed curve = Poor Pursuit Angles

This has always been a problem since....forever. Defenders have always been takin the wrong angles. I guess the problem is even bigger this year.

Yea there has always been but this year it is terrible. They can be 2 yards to your left or right shoulder and will run right along side you the entire length of the field.

Actually it was the opposite in the early PS2/Xbox days. Remember when you'd have the corner on a running play and you figured you had a long TD run but then inside the 5-yard line or so some CB who came from way across the field would tackle you? He took the perfect angle to flag you down, like he paused for a sec, calculated the Pythagorean Theory and figured out exactly what yardline he could catch you at if he ran in a straight diagonal line.

I didn't buy the game because of a lot of other flaws that I knew would make me give up on the game after a very short while. This pursuit angle problem hadn't even been discovered yet. After seeing these clips, this alone would have been enough for me to take the game out of the tray and never put it back in again.

There have been issues with pursuit before, but I can't remember anything as bad as this.(I didn't play the last gen '08 version)

If you can ignore this and still play the game, then I salute you, because there is no way I would be able to tolerate this at all.

The frustrating part about all this is they did alot right with this game but all the other stuff just puts stink all over the game. Hopefully it can be fixed with a patch ...and soon.
