I'll get NCAA Football only because i love college football too much not to get it but this game doesnt look like its worth a purchase and i'm too skeptical about getting Madden again.

k, nice knowing you.....hope to see you post next year

OK guys, a couple of observations. First, every play is going to be different. It's not like Madden, where we see a flaw and keep seeing it due to an animation trigger. What we saw on those 2 plays will probably never happen again. The ol/dl interactions will be different on the next play. The dbs will react differently on the next play. It's all based on where the players are at that time. I think that's the point that we're missing. Everyone has great observations, but every play's going to be a fresh experience. Not even the guys in the NFL make every play everytime. Sometimes they get beat, take the wrong angle, miss a block, run into a block, etc....

Now, I think we've all been burned by that other game and we are picking this game apart with the same mentality. I think we need to change our mindset and remember that every play will be different. No 2 plays will be the same....ever. No trigered or canned animations, just good ole physics-just like the football gods intended.

I'll say it again....The DB should have never turned around. BB got it right!!!!!

I see some potential, but some of the movements are a bit stiff and whats with the sound when the football is thrown?

In developer's diary 1 and 2, the ball is glowing. It's on ROOKIE mode, so of course the AI will be dumbed down because of this. We have no video evidence that this will occur when playing on normal or hard mode. You are being to hasty in your decisions and reviews.

You can tell a lot about the direction of where the game is going by what the developers choose to show. If they had a great pass rush and really deep play books, they'd show it to us instead of dribbling out these two second clips of the bare bones rookie mode.

Good observation. I agree.

I'll be honest, this game does nothing for me.

I am still going to give it a shot, but my hopes are low at this point.
