Hardly. A physics engine has nothing to do with AI. Physics-based tackles might be fun to look at....but AI is what makes a sports game go.

I am REALLY excited about how they metioned that the crowd reacts during the play, and is designed to react with you. That is amazing, and is what I have been asking EA for for years now. I have a feeling, if it is done right, that there will be an atmosphere to the game that we have not experienced before. To me, that is very important. Example : Battlefield Bad Company..this is a game with incredible atmosphere that makes you feel like you are there.

I am hoping BB pulls it off, but the way it is described really sounds like they will.

I think they just wanted to have this game run smooth as possible with the regular gameplay first and foremost for their first release.... 11vs11.... and in the future or maybe this year after an patch update...they can add sideline personal, when their engine can handle the extra players on the sidelines. I believe that is the main reasons they have the sidelines scaled realistically in the first place...it is to easily add new stuff to the graphics engine over time as they tweak it, so it can still run smooth.

REGARDLESS, my statement is still true...they was heading TOWARDS the sidelines, and they were celebrating and jumping up on each other while the crowd was in the background going nuts...not every comment someone makes has to be dissected. They were technically standing right at the sidelines, hence the sidelines comment.

hmmm.. I wanted to see if you can import pics and logos.. but this is actually a brilliant play by Naturalmotion and 505!! EA and the NFL have no lawsuit if the game doesnt allow you to IMPORT logos, but have "poetic license" to re-create them!! whatever the fan does with the product is fine, they do not allow you to violate copyright by creating the logo from scratch! they dont make it easy.. but not impossible to do! colors and not copyrighted, cities either.. but if i create the ravens logo, legally its not 505's fault! lol!

I suppose as long as they don't promote it, it's okay.

They have come close to saying you can create the NFL, but have so far caught themselves and said pro teams from around the around.

Not knocking this game but I feel this will feel more like CFL (Canadian Football than NFL type).

The passing doesn't look pro style, and we know the running like in the cfl is not used that often.

This game will offer something completely different which is needed. I look forward to this game and hope we can start seeing some videos where people are playing on the higher level where you don't see the glowing receivers running backs etc etc..

I know they threw that mode in there to get people used to the game then ante up to the next level which takes out most of the stuff.. and I know it can be "turned off". I believe it's meant to get people used to the new Camera angle.

We know one thing, you will either love or hate the camera angle, and since there is NO other one... this will be the deciding factor on the games success. Can they pull off the new Camera angle? I hope so, we need a refreshing title!

[Methlab]

I think it is pretty obvious from reading reviews and seeing gameplay, that the camera angle is going to deliver.
