That would be an interesting option.

They should provide some.

Show some vidoes of hard/pro/whatever it's going to be called mode and show that the AI will be better.

I agree about jumping and saying "AI SUCKS" when it's on easy/rookie/whatever it's called or by just taking any two plays (for good or bad) but I don't want to just assume it's better - show that it's better.

I agree. But saying that you hate this game off of a 1 minute video is completely insane. My point was you can't give a review like that off of a one minute video that's in the "alpha" stages, nonetheless being on easy mode. I sure wish they gave us some more detailed video footage being played. There are 3 gameplay footage that the ball is not glowing and it look's much better then this one. But still it's too short to tell. I assumed madden 10 would be as good as the trailor's, yeah...that didn't turn out well did it. That game is filled with programming errors. I'm already waiting on this one. I already traded in madden for this, madden is too easy to exploit to be any fun period. I'm still waiting on news about injuries and stuff. Come on NM, give me a quick fix.

This happens with all games, not just exclusive to BB.

It's all just a matter of opinion.

Ya, I read before the basic or acrade mode there is only a few plays. In pro there are more plays so no worries about Tecmo Bowl sized playbooks lol.

Not bad so far...looking forward to being able to get my hands on a final copy. I liked the replays so far...Hope Commentary isn't stale.

There is no commentary in BB.

I thought the vid was ok. Nothing that really made me say "WOW" but I really look forward to there field of view that there offering.
 
# 31 CreatineKasey @ 03/12/10 06:49 PM
That was the shortest gameplay clip in the history of gameplay clips.

Why the heck is the center a good yard in front of everyone else? In the first play the QB was supposed to be under center but he was a yard behind him. What the?

The DE in the first play had outside contain. There was a blitz from the MLB and ROLB. He took the LT wide because that left the middle open for the blitz. The LDT was double teamed, then the C saw the MLB. The LG didn't release the DT to the C, so the C went and blocked the MLB. The DT beat the LG with an inside swim move.

Now what was the DE doing? I don't know. He was wide and normally would have been to wide to make a play. The QB was moving to the right where he has a double team block, so maybe the DE didn't want to get caught too far up field and wide if the QB took off. It didn't look good, looked like suction blocking in Madden, but hopefully that is a bad player.

The CB was beat, so if he turns around, he would have been torched. He got beat on a simple route, but he had saftey help, so he looked to be covering the shorter inside routes. Turning around to find the ball once he was next to the WR would have looked a lot better.

Hopefully they fix those 2 issues or it only happens on arcade mode.

Just watched this on GT and came here to see if it was posted.That vid looks like actual gameplay and it looks amazing! Only bad thing I thought was ....
No Commentary

OK guys, a couple of observations. First, every play is going to be different. It's not like Madden, where we see a flaw and keep seeing it due to an animation trigger. What we saw on those 2 plays will probably never happen again. The ol/dl interactions will be different on the next play. The dbs will react differently on the next play. It's all based on where the players are at that time. I think that's the point that we're missing. Everyone has great observations, but every play's going to be a fresh experience. Not even the guys in the NFL make every play everytime. Sometimes they get beat, take the wrong angle, miss a block, run into a block, etc....

Now, I think we've all been burned by that other game and we are picking this game apart with the same mentality. I think we need to change our mindset and remember that every play will be different. No 2 plays will be the same....ever. No trigered or canned animations, just good ole physics-just like the football gods intended.
 
# 36 bjones16 @ 03/12/10 10:17 PM
I'll say it again....The DB should have never turned around. BB got it right!!!!!
 
# 37 Artman22 @ 03/12/10 10:18 PM
I see some potential, but some of the movements are a bit stiff and whats with the sound when the football is thrown?

You can tell a lot about the direction of where the game is going by what the developers choose to show. If they had a great pass rush and really deep play books, they'd show it to us instead of dribbling out these two second clips of the bare bones rookie mode.

Good observation. I agree.

I'll be honest, this game does nothing for me.

I am still going to give it a shot, but my hopes are low at this point.
