Nope! If you're happy, then it's a good purchase! They don't need to make a sale with you, it's money in the bank.

Last year's game is a beer coaster at my place. Garbage. I wish I could erase the disk and burn some music on it.

Not owning a copy every year is not an option for me, I need football.

I'll buy it used. If the game is good, there won't BE any used copies available, right?

I've got money to burn. If EA wants it, they'll have to EARN it.

It is startling to see just how much better the running animations look in Backbreaker compared to the ****-sandwich we have seen from NCAA. For the first time I have actually started to be more excited about Backbreaker and Freakin' Tecmo Bowl than I am for NCAA and Madden.

I really do hope Backbreaker develops a strong community and provides us with the one thing EA is NEVER going to do - give the gamers a new perspective and ditch the damn 'god-cam' POV...

Something just doesn't look right with that video. I mean the games looks VERY nice as far a graphics are concerned, but it just doesn't look like there has a been a very big overhaul in gameplay. I didn't buy NCAA 10 last year in hopes to see HUGE changes to NCAA 11.

I can't see myself spending money on this game(a game which doesn't include my school, BTW) and it's looking like this.

HOWEVER, I will say that it is VERY early, and the game might actually turn out to be pretty good.

Basically looks the same to me. Also noticed at .36 seconds that they still havent made the jostling look real and authentic. Aye DB Keeps a hand out on the WR to feel where he is so he can watch the eyes of the QB. 2k5 had that down packed. Hope they fix b4 launch or atleast Madden does.

Player models look fantastic, graphics overall look great.

Same old animations though. And that cut at :36 was really, really bad. I don't know why they would allow anyone to see that.

Most of all I'm disappointed to see that players still run in that weird robotic same way where their legs never fully rise.

But I like NCAA 10 (i shockingly preferred it over Madden10), so I'll probably like this too.

I almost feel as if EA each year is looking at a different game than I am when it comes to football. I mean some would say they lie but I always read their comments, blogs, etc and I get the feeling they're being truthful, but they're just looking at a different game than what we end up getting or something!!

This is the tact that I take.

I dont believe EA is being evil, dishonest, or whatever.

I honestly believe that they think that what they do, best reperesents what their customers want.

Remember Madden 09? When they brought in a bunch of those Madden tour bus dudes to show off all of their money plays?

Why would they do that? Its because they believe that is what their customer base wants.

How come the pass protection doesnt break down when the QB abandons his drop, and sprints out of the pocket? Why cant DE's contain the pocket and take basic, fundamental pass rush angles, how come CBs dont play the proper technique based on where their help is, why dont zone defenders converge on underneath routes until after the ball is caught? How come OL ratings are irrelevant? Its because they believe that the majority of their customer base do not care about these things.
