No, there is a big announcement before E3. Well, actually in eight days, maybe shorter. Many speculate it is when we'll learn who the publisher is and when its being released. No one is for sure whether they'll be at E3.

I always wondered why folks are so adamant about "dont buy this game because..." or "this will be better / worse than madden.." wow.. if you dont want it.. dont buy it.. and what about this peeps on the sidelines.. madden and ncaa had the same canned animations and NO REFS or CHAIN GANGS for years.. yet folks still bought them. APF from 2k had the best sideline annimation and interaction.. smack talk.. catching folks going out of bounds, real uniforms and it still was totally dissed by the maddenites..

WHENEVER this comes out.. im getting it.. if your not sure.. rent it.. otherwise opinions are like.. well you know.. lol!

THe game needs to have SOME sort of immersion through atmosphere or it will quickly become stale, not matter HOW good the physics.

My biggest fear is the actual football stuff. The X's and O's. The Tactics. How ratings will factor in, etc.

Physics engines are great, but without solid football fundamentals this is nothing more than a tech demo.

I am also scared, becasue 2 or 3 years later, we've still seen no 11 on 11 action. We've still not heard word one on the actual football piece of this puzzle.

Despite that, we've got people here declaring it the greatest thing since sliced bread, while having the gall to cal other people fanboys.

LOL, well put. And honestly, I should have pre-empted what I said by saying that, of course, gameplay comes first.

Your last sentence rings so true though, it's not even funny. Haha, it seriously makes me laugh thinking about it.
