Will do! That's the point of me going on here... to talk about what I see on media releases. I've weighed positives and negatives over and over. Apparently you only see the negatives. It's alright. I have no agenda

We all know BB is the only game privy to this, don't we?

no you're right, but for some reason this syndrom seems to be amped up for BB

I assume you are alluding to Madden. The reason its more "acceptable" is Madden remains largely unchanged from year to year. The changes add up if you look at a wide berth (say 5 years). Its easy to predict if you have previous data. This is BBs first iteration, not 5th.

Why would you assume I'm referring to the other game? It doesn't matter if it's Techmo Bowl, a game that comes out every 5 yrs or once a year. No, wrong assumption. Why would I even compare the two?

It happens with every game in different forums across the net. People have a right to state an opinion and others can process it if it's just opinion or fact.

I'd rather people bring up opinions and if they become fact, then maybe the developers can do something with that fact down the road instead of the opinions being swept under the carpet by people who defend the game to no end.

Trust me, it's seems amped for the other games too.

I heard that!!

It's too soon to be trippin off 2 plays that showed a ridiculously unlikely throw. At least were seeing the good, the bad and the ugly before it's released.. At least were not being lied to. OTHER games devs make wild promises and show videos with specific gameplay footage to back the promises..


Were all starving for REALISTIC football, thats why were sweatin 2 lousy plays

I am still playing NFL2K5 which tells you something about the state of affairs. But to think this game is going to revolutionize console football is just ridiculous. It will take them 5 dev cycles to get all the kinks out with blocking, cpu AI, animations, etc. They may have a base to work from now, but the initial offering is going to leave alot of hardcore football folks disappointed. Maybe the arcade kids will gobble it up. C

I agree with part of your post.. the part where we will get what were ssing now at release.. As far as not challenging madden? Who cares.. Madden isnt the standard in realistic gameplay, so it's pointless to measure against that game. Madden has DOZENS of KNOWN gameplay flaws and people still buy it and love it (Not me, im maddened out).

With a license and refinements, this game could be great.. Using madden as an example, from Madden 2005 to now, How is madden better? It really isnt, 2005 was a better game..

Because were starving for realistic football were over-reacting to everything we see.

If BB had an NFL license we wouldnt be talking right now, it would be a must have , must buy, day one!
