I was trying to figure out if that was how it was going to be in the final product, or if that was just to hide what they were going to do with it since they used that demo to show gameplay. I'm really hoping for the latter, but you never know.

looks like bama stadium expansion is in the game!

I wouldn't hold my breath on the presentation fellas. This is EA. Don't get me wrong, I think it will be A LOT better than what we've been getting, but still not in the league of other games in the past.

Football broadcasts show a ton of replays, at least 1 every 2-3 plays, so right there alone they're lacking(unless there's an option for more replays which EA isn't known for). The long pass play there definitely should've been a replay shown. I'm not even asking for analysis, though it should be there, but just the regularity of a broadcast. This is their big feature, and once again it seems like they're going for the just good enough angle.

Now from the skipped replay the camera angle looked sick so kudos to EA for that, I just hope the game is filled with them.

Which brings me to pre play. I saw no close-ups, not even a camera change pre play, so there's another area lacking.

Now post play some of the cutscenes look really good because they are nice and tight, but the angles are wrong from what I've seen. The 1 play where the Alabama player's bumped heads looked great, but the camera angle was too low giving the perception that the camera man was on the field, that's not broadcast. Also the post play camera cuts look decent, but the zoom isn't tight enough, and it's too static. It should feature a few seconds on at least 2-3 players before the play selection screen reappears.

These are all minor things but with the graphics, this game could look simply phenomenal. I just wish EA would go all out. The thing is the adjustments are simple based on what they have, they just don't get it unfortunately.

That read option there looked great. Gameplay looks alot better than that first video we all received.

Why would anyone hide new and fresh exciting presentation?

There is noone out there to steal it so why would they?

Is it just me, or does Russ kinda suck? His reads on running plays are bad, he doesn't step up into the pocket on passes ... just kinda makes me scratch my head a little.

Game looks pretty good, though.

it'd be sweet if the ref's actually threw penalty flags.
