Good to see they finally got the Browns' brown pants in there.

Everything run's hand and hand as far as I'm concerned. If game play is greatly improved but, franchise's big problems haven't been addressed then I wouldn't be happy. Because I'm a strictly offline player and all the game play in the world means very little to me if I'm not building on to something. I want working IR, good sim stats (for cpu teams), Presentation, etc.

On the flip side, even if everything in franchise has been improved and everything "works properly" that means nothing to me if game-play sucks. Poor game-play makes playing franchise less rewarding because the games just aren't fun. I rarely (if ever) sim my teams games so, I want good game-play to make the game worth playing. If that makes sense.

So Locomotion's not a feature now? Riiiiiight

Most of the people that were involved with these sites where either online players OR tourney guys. THAT is where these sites came from. Not from OFFLINE players. Remember they are OFFLINE players. They aren't going to come to some site like this, they play the game OFFLINE.

Yeah, I caught your original post before you edited it where you asked me "are you high?" Real classy.

When you look at only how you play or base it on how your circle of friends play and then throw in some random websites where other hardcore players go, and say that's the definitive word on how 6 million people should view the importance of one aspect of a game, then you really don't understand minority vs. majority at all.

I'm not telling you franchise isn't important, I'm telling you that you don't represent the majority no matter how much you'd like to believe otherwise.

Like I said everyone I know outside of forums plays 90% of the time offline. They could care less about forums or even really talking about.

No. I would argue the opposite.

Clearly you do then, huh?

You win, I will bow out. You clearly are all knowing and working for EA marketing department and have access to all the statistics that are completely impartial polling 100% of those (6 million was it?) buyers.

You're making assumptions based on zero data. What is worse? At least an OS poll and research from Kotaku support my argument.

I noticed they got the Browns brown pants uniform in. Should make some happy...(not me, I hate those uni's).


Overall feeling about the video------meh.
