I think goal line will have a whole different look and feel with this engine. Instead of having 22 individual animations bumping into each other and not meshing well, these can all blend into one animation...a "pile" if you will. Should make goal line runs and goal line D way more interesting and realistic.

I hope the RB can dive over the pile at the goal line. I haven't seen it yet but, I'm skeptical that It'll be implemented.

So you've played the game? Interesting. Mind sharing some details about the franchise mode, or maybe the teams?

Wow, the last two videos released are quite impressive. My only concern with Backbreaker is, that it is going to be so ground breaking, I won't be able to , or want to go back to regular football games again. This is both good and bad , the good, I'll never buy Madden again, The bad, I'll miss 2k5.

Impressive video. May have to start removing the "For a first year effort" caveat.

I can see that. I actually like the Blitz player models better than Madden 10's, but that's me.

in the words of peter griffin.. this game is friggin sweet!! lol I believe most folks good or bad go with what they know. I see potential in this game, so much so that i believe EA will do what they always do. buy it out, and never use it. cant wait for this one! hope we can customize well.. may have to get the ps3 version because of the ease of file transfer, i dunno. I want the 360 version for xb live. guess i will have to wait and see.
