IGN preview & new video

WOW.. i just love these sort of off the field storylines.

Anyone catch the stadium selection screen for WENTWORTH STADIUM.

It talks about how the local rodeo is known for wrecking havoc on the field conditions in late september.. If its saying what i think its saying. the field will suck pretty badly and games in late september will show the field degrading like theres no tomorrow and fumbles everywhere. Just an overall unique mess.

That's one of my pet peeves in all the football games. Do the developers think that looks realistic in any way? How many times have you seen that in a real football game? EA is absolutely in love with that animation. Drives me nuts. Doesn't ruin the game by any stretch of the imagination, it just looks stupid.

I think their intention with that animation is to plant for a quick sec..that your guy may or maynot be injuredn as he lays there flat on his back. To me that what it seems like

The more Videos I watch the more I think it's almost necessary to draft a Gold Corner like Woodson. I'm willing to bet 90% of people online draft Jerry Rice.


Which sucks because I wanted Payton/Rice as my Golds.

It may be because it's 2 in the morning, or it could be because Jack Tatum is one of my many favorite players, but this part of the "Building A Team" video just got me so hyped. Actually, not a part, but an attribute of Tatum's, who is a silver caliber player.

Special Attributes
Ball Strip

Big Hit

Footsteps

Strength Bonus

Hmmm ... Lott, Tatum, Banks, Carson, Van Pelt, The Fridge, and Clyde Simmons? Yeah, I think some serious footsteps will be heard with that bunch on the field.

Get good pass rushers and he will never have time to throw to Rice....
