um, if the team your controlling is always on the bottom, and you're on offense, the offense would be on the bottom...

meaning you'd be looking up at the field ahead... aka the same orientation as madden on offense (albeit in a closer "3rd person" view)

I like the physics, but i dont know if the game will feel like football. No NFL Teams and i didnt see any refs or chain gang on field. Also the jukes look plain and boring. Sometimes u need canned animations i guess. Just execute them correctly i guess. Also how will passing with analog work? Also i dont like the defensive vew. Hopefully u can change the cameras.

Oh god, STFU. There are guys in the NFL and college who hold the ball like that.Stop nitpicking about something so stupid that no one will notice ro care about when playing the game

Anyone who buys Madden period is foolish. Madden is garbage and is not even close to being realistic. All Pro 2k8 owns Madden.

You dont need NFL teams for it to feel like football genius. All Pro 2k8 was more realistic than any other football game

With all the changes in Madden 10, BB has a lot of work to do. I was tired of the Madden franchise and tired of wasting money on a game only to return it a month later. Madden 10 came out and it is hands down the best football game I have played. It does have its down points in the franchise, but with everything they changed I am hoping to get a revamped franchise eventually.

BB has to do something fresh with its franchise mode to get most people to buy it. The gameplay in Madden 10 is great imo, so in order for a game to compete it will have to outshine Madden in presentation (just pick someone other than Collinsworth to commentate and its a win) and in the depth of it's features. I believe that is why AP2k8 never reached a mass appeal. It was a nice change of pace game where things were done differently, but you have one season and you are done. I will definately try out BB as I am a huge fan of football in general and in the spring is a time I am itching for some more football. I just hope it outshines 2k8 in the depth, and puts the presentation and franchise of Madden to shame.

Madden 2005 > Madden 10. Hands Down. Not even close.

No, it is not always in split-screen. That is if you are playing an opponent sitting right next to you breathing the same air.

Backbreaker will rock our socks off this spring.
