Not sure how my post proves your point. All I said is that it's the first brand new football game in 6 years and I'm excited about that. If it was EA instead of 505, I'd still be excited for the technology Natural Motion is introducing and the approach the team is taking. Maybe more so because an EA title could have used the NFL.

I think that OS has alot of visitors who lurk, but are still sports fans....and maybe they just voted. but don't get me wrong, I understand why you closed the poll. either way, it was a fun poll...as well as an interesting informative thread.

Yes, you are correct, nobody said they would flood the poll, but when looking at the redirects, it shows a few IP's coming straight from the BB forums to the poll and voting multiple times. It's ok, the polls will be locked down for OS members only now, so multiple voting will not be an issue, inside or outside.

I'd be more excited if it was EA, actually, there would be a lot less left out and it would have the NFL license.

Wow, is it really that serious people?

I just wish it was somehow against the TOS on the BB forums... So we could weed out those noobs. lol
