I seriously doubt it, given the fact that they're still talking like it's gonna take awhile longer. What I don't understand is the people who are going off and supporting this game like it's going to start a revolution. We haven't even really seen the game in motion yet (like true in-game play)! Why not hedge your bets just a tad, people, and wait to see the game - maybe even play it - before you anoint it as the best football game?

It obvious that the continued resentment over Exclusivity is the reason why this game is not being scrutinized by many posters with the same discerning eye that they use for most other games.

Some will say that they're just excited about the art direction and the physics engine of course, but that's just a part of the equation.

If 2K hadn't have been turned into a Martyred game, then essentially everyone here would be looking at this game with much more skepticism instead of touting it as The Savior of Football Gaming.

Nice Find!

I don't care what anyone says. I just want to be able to play another football game BESIDES Madden!!

[bowdown2shadi]

Yeah, I like options. Madden looks good this year though, so I'm not as hyped up as I used to be about Backbreaker. When it comes out, I will watch gameplay videos and read reviews.

We will see.

You make valid points. When I was looking at those screens, I immediately began to think of how will they pull off line shifts, defensive adjustments etc. There's a lot to be done.

The overall concern I have with this game is that at its core, the game is more about a specific technology than it is about football. For so long mnay were hoping that Natural Motion would work its way into a football game. Now you have them making their own game and my thinking tends to be they have Euphoria going but then what?

Will we see some nice tackles and then a drop off in the game's representation of football?

I guess. I don't see anything special. I know it's not done yet but, wasn't to be last year. Just curious, I don't know the details. Anyway, early screens of APF and Madden looked better. I guess we'll play the waiting game on when the put some more info out.

Just a side note. I think it's really annoying that you have to put in your email address just to see some info. Talk about trying to keep everyone locked down. Nice try...

This game looks awful. No Offense, Where are all the fanboys. Where are the handtowels. Why do all the guys look the same. Where are the realistic sidelines. Where are the Refs. REAL TALK

Can't say it any better than that, jfsolo.
