Yikes, wouldn't that be something! I know that 100 FPS is essentially the next step from 60 FPS, so if they feel they can do 90 FPS without tons of optimization, I'm all for that.

I suppose the trailer downscaled the framerate or something though, because the trailer definitely wasn't running in 60 or 90 FPS.

i have yet to see a runner break a tackle. the only things i see are big hits and jukes. if anyone else has seen a broken tackle, let me know.

no, that was for the tackling sequences or something like that....game should run at 60fps.. I wonder if it was just that video, or gametrailers... maybe if someone downloads it, it'll move smoother.

Anyone else think its funny that David Hayter (Solid Snake, "Its in the game" guy) voiced this trailer? Or at least someone that sounds very much like him

The QB's looked like they were jump passing the ball.

Not loving those fadeaway passes.

The game needs a hook with all the disadvantages it has. The hardcore here may not want to hear it, but those free-form big hits may be enough to draw out some casual purchases. It shouldn't be expected that it's going to get most base football concepts correct on their first pass. I know people will hate to hear it, but Madden had back-foot passing in their game for years into next gen. At the very least this may be a case study on why it's next to futile for any developer to attempt making a non-licensed football game. I think there's a lot of unrealistic expectations riding on the title

I'm sure this will be a slider based game, for me at least. I absolutely love the catch animations; as you can tell the receiver actually looks the ball in, and uses soft hands on the catch. Still waiting for more to come.
