What were your expectations? If you were in here last week, the announcement was exactly what the blog showed.

Did you expect some game play announcement at SB time?

I don't understand why people are disappointed especially if they knew what was coming.

I'm not disappointed in the blog. I didn't expect anything from it ; that's just how I felt after watching it. I've learned that you can't be sure as to what is (or isn't) going to make it into the game, until the game is actually released.

Oh, ok, hard to tell with your head banging smilies.

I'm glad that they're heading in the right direction again. If they didn't have the same "everything you see on Sunday" goal than all of the strides from M10 would be lost.

That's actually Larry not Mark.

Colour me slightly optimistic. A video that said nothing, but was still worth it - although no real franchise comment left me sad smiley face. Again, those whiteboards could mean nothing (or more likely are a safe way to get early information out without committing to it like last year) but the Blitz guy's ones had me thinking.

With words like flush, sfx, hints, passing hints, it sounds like his contribution may be an optional graphical overlay. You know, the sort of graphical hints and ticks the hyper sim crowd is resistant to - usually because they are not optional (see: big *** red circle)

Remember all those debates on here about how to get people to feel the rush? And all sorts of colour codes, rumbles tied to awareness etc were suggested? It could just be a series of "clues" for new players. Like making a passing icon glow for a second. After all, they were on about stopping the rookie throwing 8 ints. All optional, of course.

Couple that with "Realistic [ A.I ]" and you could get a game that broaches both.

How are you guys seeing the whiteboard? Every time I pause the vid, the words on the board gets blurry because he's panning most of the time.
