Pre-canned tackle animations have been ditched in favour of the physics-based Infinity Engine 2, which ostensibly allows things like size, speed and momentum to factor into the outcome of every collision. It’s a nice change that makes plays feel more organic and keeps them fresh even as the hours with the game start to add up. Player movement and fluidity typically look smooth, though during the Road to Glory mode I noticed some odd, jagged cuts from CPU-controlled players with the ball.

Unless you have been in Antarctica for the last year, you know the Baltimore Ravens won the 2013 Super Bowl. So defense still wins championships, right? When B-More won its first title in 2001, that powerhouse defense basically won it itself, given that Trent Dilfer (!) was the starting QB.

2013 RotoRob NFL Draft Kit: Top 10 Fantasy Steals

Many Fantasy owners have already wiped him from their radar because of the suspension. Blackmon does have a past history of getting in trouble, so he is still a very risky draftee. But don’t forget he did rack up 64 catches, 865 yards and five TDs despite being saddled with a sub par QB. Blackmon also finished the year by catching at least six balls in each of the last four games.
