I think the next-level bit has to do with neural-net based AI and animation from what I've read about Euphoria's and Natural Motion's tech. In other words, the AI has a "real", unscripted sense of self-preservation or whatever goal you give it, as well as "real" control over its body as opposed to scripted animations. So if the AI is given the goal of tackling another player, it's actually sending signals from its virtual brain to its limbs, creating on-the-fly animation and responding in real time to what's happening on the field.
