Options is never a bad thing and its a shame NM decided to have just one camera setting. I am not going to mind it but I still would like to watch all the interactions and see how a play developed. I would see all kinds crazy things in 2K5 and APF as the play went on but with this camera angle you will not be able to see that.

I dont buy the " more realistic " angle either. I enjoyed FPF with 2K5 but I only used it as a change of pace.

Maybe NM will decide to patch in a traditional camera angle later on.

Wait.. WHAT???

Lol and they couldn't have done that with a tech demo whilst shopping their engine to other developers? Or they couldn't have just done tackle alley as a downloadable XBLA title? You can't market and package this game the way they have, then just say "hey, don't expect much out of your 50 dollars."

You aren't describing a football game, you are describing a tech demo.

Has anyone given up a touchdown yet? Ive played 15 games all on hard and the CPU still hasn't scored on me. The game might be too easy.

I meant that as well, though maybe I misinterpreted what the person on the BB forums meant when he said "multiplayer". I actually very much hate the idea of referring to "online play" as "multiplayer", as seen in this rant.

So is "multiplayer" in the demo referring to online play, or split-screen?

I've given up one in the 10 or so games I've played and that was only because I went for it on 4th down deep in my territory. If the computer has the ball farther than 10 yards away from the end zone they just lose yards or don't gain anything. The AI is horrible.

Split screen
