This is still an important game for the progression of realistic football video games though and I hope it performs well in the market.

Don't know if what exists on the market is exactly made for the hardcore realists.

Funny since he was one of the first to come out with the news that Madden 07 didn't have fatigue.

Anyways, don't see why anyone is critiquing his views so heavily... what he's saying has been confirmed by others that have the game. Also, he actually has the game unlike many who are critiquing him.

I think I am going to get it for the 360. That seems to be what everyone I would play online is getting if for. Has anyone heard of any differences in the versions as far as performance or graphics go?

Does he have a video of himself beating the CPU easily like he claims?

I'd love to see that......

also, what are "early" impressions....are these not covered in an embargo?

how come there are not more "early" impressions from other sites.

Not sure. Did he get the game from 505? Or did he like many others around here manage to get it himself personally. If it's the latter, then the embargo does not apply to him.

If it's like the Demo, I could maybe see that. I still haven't given up a TD to the CPU in the demo. Now like I said earlier I haven't put the same time in to the demo as others have (long week of work), but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility to be honest. I don't know his skillset, but it's not unimaginable.

I am not sure why the reviewer is always to blame when this game gets some negative press.

well, I don't know if that last sentence was directed to me....but its not about blaming him for anything....its just that from my time playing the game...the CPU is not as easy as he claims.....so I'd love to see him play, it wouldn't be that hard...he has put up videos in the past, I believe.

now from streams I've seen from full games....the CPU does make stupid decisions late in games...mainly the draw plays in key long situations.....that needs to be fix and should easily be fixed....

for now I think a setting of Medium, with Human's player form low...might cause less interceptions.....but I'll find out tomorrow morning...

I think the Hard setting might be too hard for the CPU's QB against the AI defensive teammates of the Human......if that makes sense...lol.

but yeah, if anyone is part of Pasta's website, ask him to put up videos of him beating the computer....with the weakest teams...lol.
