I hope that the "Break Records" comment means that there will be a deep statistical tracking element to the game.

Despite player stiffness and fadeaway passes, this game looked really really fun! Everything looked smooth and the interactions looked very solid. That got me really jacked to play this game. From what I saw, it looks like the big hit frequency thing will not be an issue, the tackles looked more reasonable there.

I just want to see in-game footage, not just quick cutscenes and footage. I will say the passing game looks a little iffy.

I noticed in the earlier trailer that DB's looked like they were standing in cement when the WR's caught balls downfield.

I suppose the statement should be "We have yet to see a RB truck at all" They have yet to show a power back try and go head to head with someone and that is something I am very interested in seeing.

There is very brief footage from the E3 video that shows the players breaking out of a tackle and also being tackled and losing balance only to put his hand on the ground to try and get more yards.

0:34 guy breaks out of a tackle
0:41-43 #42 has a defender fall off his back as he runs forward
0:43-46 guy plants his hand to regain balance(it almost looks like he slipped the defender a roofie or something because he is just laying on the ground after falling down and he then trips over the body)

Looks pretty good, but not good enough to garner a sequel. The average gamer will just see Madden without NFL players.

I might get it.

To each their own, but I don't see how this game is going to make it. There is nothing from that trailer that would convince me to drop 60 bucks.

And why Backbreaker for a name? Stupid. But that's just me.

And why does Madden say its simulation football? Stupid if you ask me.
