I'm not really excited at all about that.

The problem IMO is that there are just not enough defenders in this game to offset the offensive guys. Nobody in this game will be able to cover Rice. Then that video had a generic CB on him. This was my only fear with the game. Look at how man Legend CB's there are vs the WR's. It's not even close. Without a Prime Time or Daryll Green Rice will own this game. Rod Woodson is close at CB though, but are there any other gold CB's. He might be the only one. Should still be a great game to play though.

Yeah I noticed that. They were running 46 Bear vs 5WR LOL. If you don't throw the ball quick it's over.

Not only that but wouldn't it have been more clever to say something like Vandelay or whatever those names he used to throw around.

This is probably going to be one of those games where Montana and Rice are just unstoppable. Making the game not fun

I cringed when I watched those too. Haha, as someone else also said, it does seem to get a little more disappointing with each gameplay video I watch. But I'm also seeing some great stuff with the silky 60 fps on Xbox360. So how would you all feel about a high res 2K5 with some tweaks and some same old stuff? I think that at the core that is what we are getting. And honestly, I'm ok with that. I'm a HUGE 2K football fan, and I know that I am a bit fanboyish inside when it comes to them sometimes. But as Intihar said on the 1up podcast this last Friday, I don't think its the second coming that alot of us think it is. But I'm still pumped to get my hands on the demo soon. And if it comes down to just this, that Greg Thomas and the boys gave EA a little kick in the behind, with Madden looking seriously more promising than the last few years (all EA hype aside, but dang I need my NFL license, ha), I'm ok with that for a first go around on the next gen systems.

I'm not disappointed with the Rice TD's here because he's being covered by generic guys. But if that happens to guys that I have drafted as Legends that's when I'm going to just roll my eyes and be like ummmm hmmm, whatever LOL.
