Of course they are under NDA. I've been through the process. I'm just going off of something Rgiles said. Anyways...

Well for everybody predicting a Kinect feature for "Gameplay 2" (myself included), the fact that they didn't mention Kinect at all today only adds fuel to the fire. Esspecially when we know there is some type of Kinect feature added from the leaked description on EA's site.

My guess is to take a picture of ourselves with the Kinect (new menu selection) and then possibly call the plays and move and stuff for the Superstar mode (connecting careers?). Taking a stab at it, but sounds possible.

1. Anything regarding June 4th is conjecture.

2. The text on the two flyers are identical.

Both say 8 QB evades.

Both say 430 new catches.

Both say 20 pass trajectories. Etc., etc., etc.

That is not "similar," as you said.

That is identical, or "copy-and-paste" as I said.

Similar, identical, copy and paste, call it as you want it, it doesn't matter. The same person is in charge of both games as I said.

You are bound to have identical game play features, except for June 4th(conjecture or not) with the same person in charge.

Yay, at least now everyone knows Him and Phil are in the game.

Honestly don't know, I don't handle the visuals.

Motion Blur?! I thought we all bought new HDTV's to reduce the amount of motion blur...

So they put CBS in the game without it actually being in the game and voiding the contract with ESPN. Well played EA, Well played.

I like the added presentation with Nantz and Simms, but Phil looks like he's going to come through the TV and take my soul.

You guys are going to be very disappointed when the monumental game change is Kinnect.

^^^^ What is the point of this?

This dude has no idea on whether the new feature is Kinect-related and yet he's acting like he knows. Kinect was heavely promoted for Tiger Woods PGA 13 and it still didn't affect core gameplay for both consoles, so I'd say there's no real indication June 4th will be about Kinect.

Anyway, what I don't get is what is the point of jumping ahead to things you don't know about, instead of focusing on the improvements seen today?

Btw, this is probably the type of dude that says "no new ol/dl interactions is a gamebreaker"... Well I bet if they fixed ol/dl but didn't address psychic db's as much then he'd be claiming that to be a gamebreaker. Will never be satisfied and needs to find any reason to bash.

Stop being frustrated game designers FFS!

# 217 josephid @ 04/26/12 12:13 PM

They want to let the QB drop back or control himself? Just like Madden, they don't care about gameplay. It is more like watching a game at times. Heck, you don't even have to call the plays.

And this is a bad thing because?

I am pretty sure that during the NCAA Football game play blog they said that the game play team for both NCAA and Madden is the same team which explains why both games are getting the same game play additions. They said they work on the game play for both games and just tune them so that NCAA feels like college football and Madden feels like the NFL.

# 220 kjcheezhead @ 04/27/12 02:33 PM

I liked the presentation improvements. The new disguising of zone/man is nice and also the hint of possible physics is encouraging.

Watching this game in motion and the oline play is still just as excruciating as ever for me tho. I'm also not big on users overriding wrs not supposed to be looking for the ball or that it's still not truly route based passing. Probably gonna wind up passing again this year.
