Anyone and everyone trying to call it a tech demo or a sales pitch, without even knowing what the game is about.

Yeah, reading comprehension problems... And apparently far too much idle time to let bogus ideas with little foundation creep into their puny minds.

Hold your friggin' tongues unless you can back up what you say with some substance. And if you can't see the implications of what this dev team is doing then you are a moron, doin' nothin' but stinkin' up the OS forums with nothing but hearsay and conjecture.

I am very excited about this game. There is a big announcement coming soon from the Backbreaker devs about a merger of some sort.

You can say the same thing about the Backbreaker fanboys, we've seen a few tackles and a minigame with horrendous AI, and from that they're extrapolating a game that will put Madden in its place and revolutionize football games. I'm rooting for them since I think NCAA/Madden have gotten beyond stale and I like a lot of what they're saying, not just the tackling engine but what little we know about controls. Let's just not anoint them yet without seeing full 11 on 11 gameplay, even EA can make a trailer look good.

Let's see. One guy calls us ingrates and you are calling us morons.

Is there nothing people can do better than throw insults??

Bottom line, all I'm saying is that I haven't seen enough for me to jump around (and certainly not jump on somebody's back for not sharing enthusiasm) and get too excited for this game. When I see a full-on gameplay vid, then I'll vest more of my interest. At this point the game is like a tech demo (for me). If you get pissed at that then really, that's your own social issues to deal with. I respect your enthusiasm and in no way am I getting in the way of that. Have at it.

EA must be buying the game in order for them not to release it.

Honestly this was probably their plan all along. They demo the engine and get some company interested. They have not released a date, limit the info/screens to nothing, and don't even have a publisher. They only show a red and blue team, not uniforms, no logos, no advertisements, etc. The game is not a demo, but I think they were trying to demo it to companies to pick it up. Now that someone has picked it up, the demo will be over and they will finalize the game for what the buyers want to make it into.

If it was originally more than a tech demo, they would have released a date, had a publisher, etc. They were just waiting for someone else to come along with the resources for that.

They aren't merging with EA.

Mini-Game had bad AI because it's a freaking MINI GAME, THEY ARE MADE TO BE BEATABLE

that is all.

How is that dogging the game? Speculating on what form it might end up as is not talking bad about the game.
