I think this is my new #1 request for 2013. It would speed up the players (animations and movements become shorter and quicker to compensate for the loss of yards per stride) but SLOW DOWN THE GAME! With more control you would not need as much space to make a move as wolverine was saying. Actually the space would probably move from 10 yards away from a defender to 6 or 7 with the same amount of strides remaining to have to decide on a move. A late kickout block would allow you to still cut up inside andnot get stuck on your lineman. Etc.

It also would alleviate the slide effect in the game imo. Defenders turning and covering so much ground in coverage (as the oregon safety does in the new gameplay video for 12) would not happen, giving a perfect balance to defenders in the new zone and man coverages. A hole in the defense would be easier to see but not abusable. Defenders would basically react in a more timely fashion. Wrs would also benefit in this effect by running routes in a more natural fashion, especially during cuts, where sometimes the player is turning before they are planted.

Line play would be condensed and quicker moves defensively combined with smaller/shorter strides offensively would give rushers a chance around the edge! Make that first 1 or 2 steps at least "seem" more explosive. Pocket would collapse a split second sooner as well i would think just because of spacing issues.

Just an overall game changer really.
