Love how his face ask morphs into his shoulder pads. And how he looks like a Koopa troopa from the Mario movie.

Whatever you do, don't look at the footwork in the video. You'll wonder where the skates are...

Wish we could get through to EA Sports that they have to replace the movement / footwork in the game. It's a game of movement, if you don't get that right, then everything else will suffer.

I tell my boss last week's report was obviously flawed, but I've listened to his criticisms, and this week's is the best report ever. My use of True Facts (tm) and Infinity Font (tm) will change the way reports are written. Last week's report was riddled with logical inconsistencies, flimsy fabrications, fudged statistics, and terrible abuses of the English language, but this week's is a marvel of flawless thinking and writing. I've literally doubled the time devoted to report writing, a wise decision that will ensure top quality reports for weeks to come.

Yeah I made a mistake. Brain Cramp on my end. My bad

Well, I've been reading this thread throughout the day. I got to page 23. My eyes hurt.

Anyway, on bad snaps, penalties and tournament players:

If they're worried about tournament players, why don't they take out all penalties? Or do they disable them completely while playing? I honestly don't know.

But, how do you implement a simulation/casual experience? Have one simple setting in the options menu that enables these features that the casuals/tournies don't want.

For snaps? You can have it random and give lineman a snap rating (my preference). You can put a small outline of a "hit box" where the snap has to go for it to be good, and the player has to use the right stick to keep it in there and snap it. You could incorporate both of these too, so good snappers are much easier to aim, and the snaps don't get crappy when they're really exhausted.

No offense to this guy but why are we getting updates from him and not EA?

And that Tom Brady build shows just how bad this game is. You can't even take the time to make Tom Brady look decent?

I think that portions of this look pretty good. But my ultimate problem with this next gen game goes back to E3, when Cam Weber presented that trailer as, in his words, "actual gameplay footage."

And since then, I have seen this game get farther and farther away from that. From the RB cuts we saw in that trailer (check it out here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSPXoZ1ARI4), to the dirt and mud on players' jerseys, to RG3 dropping back and scanning the field before taking off--I'm not seeing ANY of that dynamic ability, player models (compare Tom Brady in this new video to RG3 or Russell Wilson in the E3 trailer) or movement in these new videos, despite what we were told was "in game footage." Personally, this isn't even living up to what Cam showed during the IGN demo of AP running against the 'Skins, either (which, personally, I was impressed by).

So I feel lied to, and that's not sitting well with me. I know EA devs dislike the "hate" they get on these boards, but the truth is that whoever is in charge and running the show over there is being blatantly disingenuous.

I felt like the true step video Thursday was very close to what we saw at E3, probably the closest thing to it that we've seen yet.
