I must say that from the amount of commentary I saw today on E3 things seemed to run pretty smooth. They kinda of gave us a taste when they showed Joe Montana playing the game.

all they need to do is improve online franchise and/or Superstar mode and its a guaranteed buy for me

I don't think he's being negative, just don't understand the physics not effecting gameplay part. That completely changes the way a game is played.

Now I just need to hear about one more thing, namely, teammate A.I. BFD talks about this alot and I agree. I don't like the fate of the team just to be in my hands. This is a team game and I need my A.I teammates to do and act like the real players do and act. Outside of that this looks like it will hold my attention.

Whoo, and you guys should have seen the connected careers explanation earlier. It seemed pretty interesting.

You don't understand. Let me paint a single instance that flushes your point of view down the drain.

Madden 12: WR makes a catch animation, the LB goes for it as well, LB bounces off the WR and the WR catches the ball, then rips off 30 yards.

Madden 13: WR makes a catch animation, LB goes for it as well, LB and WR collide and the ball flies out of the WR hands or at the least stumbles to the ground for a 5 yard gain.


Let's not make inaccurate assumptions about what a new physics engine will do. With what they're putting into place, Oline-Dline play in the next year or so will be completely changed forever.
