Those guys where hired actors and they had the best play by play relationship in a gamer ever - they flowed like Madden and Summerall in real life and the actual spoke about the game even throwing around actual stats - 2Ks engine was so advanced and that was for the regular Xbox. But to that point - 2k5 had better line blocking and already knew that a rbs that hits the line should get skinny, push off and find the gap. Great to see EA just figured this out a little less than a decade after the fact.

Players running into and interacting with the line - yeah been there and done that. Running should be fun and my control skills should be as importing and the runners stats -every tackle and spin should not be pre-calculated. If they dont figure out how to make it fun and and stop cheating with the Defense jumping routes that they are not looking at - or not back stepping into zone before they attack the run if they are zone - just stupid stuff like that - should be dont with by the point

you would think with the NFLs attitude about concussions that they will tell EA that mouth pieces reduce concussions and are mandatory - in fact this year I think all pads including hip and thigh are required in the league- 2K would make sure they got that level of accuracy - but i digress.

Some of these responses are laughable... What are we honestly going to "know" about a couple quick seconds of actual gameplay footage? answer, nothing whatsoever...

In fact, in those quick little 2 second blips of gameplay, I saw numerous canned animations and typical madden BS that we've been dealing with since PS3 launched...

When are people going to realize, no matter what EA "says" they are going to THE GAME ENGINE IS STILL FLAWED AT ITS FOUNDATION!... Nothing, and I mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING they "plug in" or "fix" at this point is going to change how the game plays... Your still going to see morphing and canned animations and glitches and money plays and on and on and on...

This year we're working on the trenches... Next year we're working on WR / DB interaction... Next year we're working on Pass trajectories... blah blah blah...

HEY EA... HOW ABOUT YOU FOCUS ON FOOTBALL... These videos, and the excitement that ensues afterwards make me smh... Haven't you people learned anything over the last 10 years???

Yeah for sure, I would hope so too!

What's worse is that since Lynch wears an Air XP helmet, the front bumper should have a Seahawks logo definitely not a RIDDELL logo.

I fail to see how these things don't count as 'football', but by all means continue on with your not at all hilarious and completely level-headed rant.

Everything sounds good. Was really hoping to hear information about a legit halftime and weekly recap show being added.
