Yeah it would be great for arcade hockey gamers. It could certainly fill the void of NHL Hitz. I don't get the infatuation with Euphoria. I think it does a lousy job of representing the sports physics of strong willful players fighting to keep their feet and muscle past each other. The Ragdoll-ism runs way too rampant in BB.

Have you really played BB? It seems like you are parrotting the same assumtions that people had before the game acutally came out.

The contact animations mainly the tackling, blocking, are great. The stiff upright running animation is more of an eyesore.

Besides the ocacional oddity that occurs maybe one in twenty plays the contact animations greatly trump the scripted stuff from other sports games especially when you consider how it affects the actual gameplay and when you consider other football games have odd tackle animations too. I have never seen anything in BB thats breaks the laws of physics like the guys falling off of the ball carrier in Madden. NFL 2k5's bread and butter tackle was a closeline.

The only time the physics in BB are consistently unrealistic is during pileups and when players slide on dry grass but when you consider that no football game has ever had pileups thats a petty thing to point out too.



Since it doesn't seem like you have played the game. Take a look. I dont see any ragdollisms.
Look at the passrush at 5:13.

From my experience playing BB I don't feel they are good with sports games. While the physics was good, it was a terrible representation of football. Players didn't feel different from one another. No one moved like football players. While some of the animations like tackles and everything along those lines was great and needs to be incorporated into EA's football games, the EA series still does a much better job of representing the game of football itself with the different attributes and ratings.

Physics is great, just need to make sure you actually do a better job of making it seem more like the actual game itself with the different players and many different styles of players and player types.

@above..........did u just say EA did a good job at football? Really
