I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about the dev and the fact they had played football games before.

why not? As much money as EA has been losing, and the cost of the NFL rights means less money they can put in their game. A good challenger could really put them in danger.

You've seen their books? Other than wishful thinking what is the logic behind this and what numbers are these assumptions based on?

EA's not going anywhere and their #1 domestic sports franchise isn't either.

I didn't word it well. I was in a movie theatre waiting for Iron Man to start and using my iPhone, so it could have been worse.

EA is not losing money. They're just not making as much.

What the difference between making 339 million and 400 million a year?

They're not making as much net income. But if 300+ million profit each year is losing money, then I'd gladly be a loser.

I should note that I have not followed this game as closely as some of you, so there might be things that I don't know about that I'd possibly like/dislike.

Pros:

Euphoria- This game just looks so awesome becuase of the physics alone.

Customization- I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for a game with full customization like this to come out, I am very pleased with what I've seen with the customization. I can't wait to get into making the teams and stuff, this alone almost makes me want to buy the game, so that probably shows you how much I love customization(don't know why, but it's been that way my entire life).

Cons:

Camera Angle- Now, this is definitely subject to change. This is only based on some of the videos I've seen, and I could very well enjoy it once I get a chance to play with it in the demo. I remember before mlb 2k10 released I hated their new batting camera I saw in videos, but once I got a chance to actually use it, I fell in love with it.

No injuries/fatigue- I'm pretty dissapointed these aren't included, I remember back in nfl 2k5 how I lost Palmer and had to put in some rookie QB and really struggled because of it. I know it sucks to lose your best player, but it's fun to face adversity IMO.

I am really looking forward to this demo, and am hoping that this camera grows on me because I've been intrigued by this game ever since I heard about it a few years ago, and it looks like a very fun game IMO.

You and me the same!
Of course all that customization means absolutely nothing if the game plays like crap. I really hope it plays a good game of football
