while that does look cool, there's no way to know if that controls well. It might be pretty and plays worse than madden.
That might be cool on kick-offs, not sure If I could play the whole game like that. Anyways being on defense might be pretty F'ing tough there...
I know that video was of a mini game so the camera may be like that just for the mini game. If the camera is like that at all times it would be a major turn off but right now looks like a definite rent.
EA exec 1: Boys we got trouble, some other company is working on a football game with some potential. EA Exec 2: Whaaaaaaaaat? they cant do that! If they do our plans for monopolizing the industry are in jeopardy! EA Exec 1: Right and we may have to actually compete with them to make a better quality product. EA Exec 2: We cant let that happen. EA Exec 1: So what do we do? Buyout? EA Exec 2: Get the check book
The flip side of that conversation: Game Developer #1: Man, this is an awesome game! We're gonna slay giants with this one.. Game Developer #2: Yeah! Shows just what can happen when you stick by your principles and follow your vision, doesn't it? Programmer/Phone Guy: Um, guys, EA just called with an offer to buy us... Game Developer #1&2: No WAY! Not on your life! Never! Programmer/Phone Guy: ...for 500 million... Game Developer #1: Wait...23 people work here...(figures in head) so that's a little under 22mil per, right?? Prog: Yes sir. that's correct. Game D #2: Where do we sign??
Sorry fella's Madden is the king and until someone can even SNIFF it, it will be the most bought video game ever for a long time.
Those missed tackles were horrible. (That was my impression of it) Madden is a great game, only issue is that they don't improve it year to year as much as they should. Even without upgrades though it's still waaaaay better than any of he 2K sports games.
