I think it will too. I just clearly remember how much more intense APF felt at a slightly closer view. Once we get right down in the action it should be pretty wild.

I like the thought that you and your opponent won't actually have a complete view of the field. So, there's a chance that your opponent misses a read or blows coverage. It should be a lot more chaotic, and mistakes will stem from that.

My guess is early on that blitzing, aggressive defense will be king in this game given the new view.

I think the tackles are flat out amazing looking. But honestly I am 200% more excited about the view. So many good things will come out of it. Much more realistic view point. No more god like view

Your still picking the plays as If you were the coach and playing the game as If you are the player so It can still be a chess match. I have a feeling playbooks won't be very deep anyway(would be surprised If they were) but, I think It'll be less of a chess match but, a chess match none the less.

I agree with this whole post.

I also agree with CK and Phobia that the camera angle will be alot of fun.

So why is Madden successful?

I dare ya Kasey....BRING IT ON!!!

this is where using real football strategy is going to be fun....reading the defense pre-snap...counting the defenders and where they are......looking to see where the safeties are.....remembering previous plays in the game of a similar defensive line up.....all this and more just from the pre-snap.........then BOOM

OH SH1T LBs Blitzing in.....where to throw where to throw. D:

but its funny after a while of scaring someone with Blitzes up the middle....you can sneak this type of play in:



>:| Fumble!

The ground can't cause a fumble, so did they rule it a sack or a sack and fumble?

I think the ball jarred loose when Kitna first got it....but the ball was stuck together between the two....but once they landed it came flying out....

man do I love that hit.....it reminds of Big Boss Man's old finisher
