I'm pretty positive someone will blast you for this comment, but I had to snicker because I have felt this way too. There is just something suspicious about it. We shall see I guess.

I don't know about hoax but I don't see why people aren't worried about how they haven't shown much when the game is supposed to be coming out next month.

maybe it's a viral campaign by EA to show off new engine in madden 09 (even showing us 'old engine' movies to keep us thrown off

never know

Ummm...where did you all get June from?? First I heard of anything concrete...

The June rumor was on the boards a while ago, but was later changed to TBA 08. I'm thinking June is out of the question, no matter when they release it though I think it'll sell good. I'm thinking after everyone suffers through another crappy Madden and returns it is when people should start buying it

Weren't people around here saying pretty much the same thing about APF?

It's true though for people who gave it a chance. I played it twice last week, and 4 times this week and got it the day before most people when it released.
I'll not play for a month or so, but it draws me back in. If it had a franchise, and the ability to edit the teams and confrences imo it would have been very special.
I thought about selling it for a while and decided to play it before i did and what do you know...i started 2 new seasons w/ 2 new slider settings and knew it wasn't going anwywhere but back in ye old library of games/dvd's.

I'm really looking forward to backbreaker- it's new it's fresh, it's not TV style, but on the field, new physics, ...it's a fresh take on the sport within vids. If I end up loving it, I'm not even sure that means I'd stop playing apf completely in the long term, because i expect it to be THAT much a different experience so as not to make one or the other feel stale or incompetent.

If BB has a franchise, I'm sure it will sell more than 250,000 copies...(sorry 2k, but that WAS dumb of you...)
