Do you think that ONLY 4 Attributes is going to limit the player dynamics?

Just curious to get your opinion about how you all feel about having only 4 attributes to differentiate between all the players in the game? Do you think this a bit too limiting to distinguish all the subtlies and distinctions that we've come to expect from various players around the league?


btw, I am just loving this demo....for all the things that you could argue that are limited or rudimentary from a football perspective, is more then compensated by the fact that every single play, hit, tackle is always a little different. This just keeps the game so fresh and exciting to continue to play and almost makes up for all the minor shortcomings of a first year sports title.

It's a physics based game though, you have those attributes + height and weight.

I could see granularity issues too though.

The ratings are relative to posistion. A QB with 90 strength is not the same as a MLB with 90 strength. They also work and represent themselves the way they are supposed to.

Because of this, I can deal with only 4 ratings. It's better than 20 ratings that mean nothing.

I think those are the only 4 attributes we see. I think there's more. I bet there's Arm strength, pass accuracy.

Why are guys not sure that the other attributes are just not viewable in the demo?

The devs have stated at least a couple times that there a position specific ratings as well like throwing power and accuracy. Until we play the full game I am just going with the notion that they were simply left not viewable in the demo but are still in the full game.

I dont think so as long as they actually work. I could care less if there was just 1 overall rating or something....just as long as what the number says reflects what happens on the field.

good point...I guess my biggest fear/concern is will we ever be able to see subtle distinctions and styles of different players in the league with just 4 attributes. For example, we all know that in the NFL, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and Larry Fitzgerald are all star caliber WRs but are also distinctively different in their strengths and weaknesses.

Do you think we will be able to see these subtle distinctions in this game?.....just a question for discussion.


I do love what this game brings to the table in revolutionary terms....its a sports game that finally takes gameplay to next gen with its physics based engine

Once again, if very well could be the case that the other attributes just aren't viewable in the demo. Seems like you guys are ignoring that possibility which to me seems very likely considering what the devs have stated before.

If there was only 4 attributes I would disappointed to say the least.
