They needed to make a game that brought people to the edge of their seat as soon as they saw it. It's great that they are talking about OL vs DL. But they should be talking about line stunts, coverage shells, half slide protection, quarter slide protection, trail technique, bracket coverage, man coverage inside vs outside technique, Run Defense built into the coverage, blitzing from space, timed blitzes, aligned blitzes. But nope.

Come on LB...your talking real football...You know damn skippy that real football and EA have nothing to do with each other.

Up to this point, huge disappointment, what has been offered up so far. The videos have been very underwhelming to say the least.

I'm hanging on a thread, and it's a slim thread, that TruStep, AI and Livingworld, which we haven't seen, yet, will somehow save this fast sinking ship.

What the heck happened to those webcast that would show the upcoming technology? I did enjoy those even if some of the implementations didn't work out.lol. The heck is marketing doing? Very little, in my eyes.

We live in hopes and die in despair.

If you are talking about how much money each EA franchise makes your probably should.

Agree with the rest though.

But Madden IS losing money. Cost of the license + the rising cost of development and poor sales. Def. not the most ideal situation for EA.

So let me get this straight, you defend Madden to death and bash NBA 2K?... Hmm...

Again, doesn't matter to the NFL, and it must not be hurting EA very much financially because they can still comfortably afford the license.

I was thinking the same thing while watching....the the players looked "boxy" or something.
