that and the majority of game developers/publishers do the very same thing. look at the Rainbow Six Vegas 2 trailer, or any Ubi Soft game at that. Forza 2 was the same way as well. the first Halo 3 trailers had nothing to do with gameplay as well. Trailers are meant to hype a product, thats there purpose.

Looks as though there won't be many defensive struggles in this years game. And as being someone who isn't that great of a thumb jockey, it looks as though I will be in for quite a few beatings playing multi player.

Looking good. Two odds things, snow in Clemson? How often does that happen? And at the end, the BC mascot doing the Heisman pose with the Notre Dame player.

I believe that celebration at the end was the Eagle mocking him. The video end before the celebration ends.

This trailer, I thought, was pretty obviously not some artist's rendition. To compare this to the Madden Next Gen Spot is ridiculous.

While it does seem they are putting more emphasis on offense and stick moves (which I like), I don't think we can automatically assume it will be all offense. I had a bit of a problem with last year's game in that there were too few big plays. That led to almost all scoring drives to be of the long 10-15 play, 75 yard variety which wasn't realistic. If they could find a way for the game to allow more big and exciting plays AND produce more three and outs I would be really happy. I never scored a ton of points last year but I also didn't punt enough either (I only play offline). It would be nice to have a good balance.

One thing I do wish they could do, probably will never happen, is real wind in the game. Show trees waving, if there are any, and put the american flags on the game. They have the poles in the stadium. HA Then have those flags blow in the direction the wind is blowing. But it isn't nothing too big. Don't ever see it being added.

That was tied to the fact the CPU would never throw deep. You never had to worry about getting beat for a pattern more than 20 yards cause it wouldn't even be attempted. That with the broken turnover AI was a gamekiller for me. It pigeonholed the offensive and defensive gameplay for me and made the game CPU offensive gameplan redundant.
