I hope sock length is an equipment option. I would like to see FL with white and blue shoes, as well as all other teams' colors.

Hopefully it makes it in but 07 had this on its E3 build as well.

Nice looking game. The game look way too fast. If they could fix the qb ai then this could be a playable game but I need a pocket in a football game.

LOl @ EA...Are the DE's running man to man with the OT's & RB? Damn EA you can ruin a good game by not implementing the basic fundamentals of football. I dont care what mode it was on the DE's are supposed to contain & come up filed on passing & option plays. Is this so hard to do?

I mean just add the damn animations & it should be played depending on how good a DE's awareness is...On the play where Tebow rolls out the DE follows the RB to the Left side of the field leaving the Right side wide open. WTF? This game has so much portential but EA cant get football right, I mean just look at the guys playing it. NERDS!!!! He is playing on the easiest level yet still abusing the exploits. The game looks damn good though, hopefully on All American & Heisman it plays more discipline.

You are 100% correct.

Until their football games get a realistic QB pocket and containment by the DE's, NCAA nor Madden can never be considered simulations.

The OL/DL play looks absolutely horrid as usual in this vid.

Looks great, but I see a game w/ an awful lot of emphasis on offense and precious little on defense.

Me thinks it'll be an offline game primarily for me this year.

The company is led by a Brit, so I no longer expect much.

The game reeks of being catered to how 10 year-old Timmy wants to play with his friends.

I'm sure their soccer games will improve going forward, so they'll have THAT going for them, which is nice.....
