I would have to agree with this assessment. All of my friends (25-35 demo) play this game offline. Yeah, we try to start an online franchise, but life get in the way. For the most part, we are all playing our own franchises OFFLINE. None of my friends come to forums.

Stux, you really need to cool out. I was asked a question about it and I answered it truthfully with factual information I was given FROM EA. It appears you don't like that information... well, I suggest you take that up with them, but I'm sure they'd be making it up too, right? LOL.

Anyway, we're not communicating anymore. I come for constructive discussions, not nonsense.

IL.

It will be interesting to see how d-line stunts are handled, and d end dropping back into coverage and even delayed blitzes. The assignment ai was kind of vague the way it was explained. Hopefully it is primarily used in run blocking schemes.

I'll take his word any day of the week.

He's meet the folks at EA twice in person.

That is more personal than a few random polls.

Let me get this straight... Me saying that an internet poll doesn't represent the whole, is an assumption? C'mon. No, that's just good 'ol fashioned common sense. You could go to a site for hardcore shoe lovers and take a poll on what color is best and everybody could vote red. That doesn't in any way shape or form extract a definitive conclusion that red is everyone's favorite color.

And as far as the information I got from EA, it is what it is. You're free to believe whatever you like, but I know what I was told and I gain no benefit from telling you anything less than the truth.

Well EA could answer this question REAL fast. It is this simple.

Ask ONE question the first time someone puts the CD into the console.

EA has never asked me what my interest is in the game. I guessing they haven't asked a lot of people.

Then they would really know and the speculation would be over. Even IF and that is a BIG IF this guy has spoke with someone who divulged the results of EA's marketing department to him that doesn't mean the marketing department is doing a good job.

If that was the case any game with a marketing department would have a successful franchise and be rolling in cash like Scrooge McDuck.
