Is it just me, or does the gameplay screen look... hard to follow?

Looking good. Hope to God they didn't mess with the gameplay!!!

This has real promise.....ONLY if the rosters, team names and jerseys are fully customizable. There has to be the potential to turn this into an NFL game IMO.

Did you not read the article? 32 customizable team names and rosters. What they will likely do is make the teams have the same colors as the NFL teams

Please please please please be a Madden Killer. Tecmo games from the nes/snes days were so much fun.

Those are the same plays in the same slots as the original game LOL! I bet the same mechanics are still present. I wander if we go online will we see NG dives left and right?! Remember, those kill 3/4 of the playbook lol.

It looks cool. The main question is whether they once again fooled with the gameplay formula and screwed it up or left it the way it was meant to be?

This is shaping up to be an exciting year for Football video games.
