For all that locomotion 'big upgrade' talk,I don't see it.EA still has that 'weightless' feel to players.It feels like your gliding them along,'skating'.

With a decent patch(o-line blocking,int's)Backbreakeris is the game I'd rather play.

Yeah, and I wanted to see otherwise. The graphics are kind of "surface nice" (a lot of people think otherwise) but I prefer BB's-the models have more weight to them and are more suited as football players, even if their sleeves don't move.

Once again, my major problem with the demo, is the ease of the passing game . The pinball view is good for accumulating MVP QB stats, but it's not much fun.

EDIT:to your point about BB being the game you want to play I second that. To your reasons (O-Line Blocking, INTs), I would say that as far as the run blocking goes, I wouldn't mess with that too much. It needs work, but I don't want it tweaked too much in the O-Line's favor. I would like to see the O-Line pass blocking tweaked a little more. AND GET THE CPU OFFENSE TO RUN THE BALL AGGRESSIVELY AND EFFECTIVELY.

Yeah, I just called in to check-BB is currently $14 trade in, $11 Cash.

Man that was quick. Just a few weeks ago when I called I could have gotten 25 bucks(store credit) for this game. If this upcoming patch doesn't solve some of these major issues then it looks like a made a mistake buying this game.

Can still get $22 if you send it off to Amazon.

The trade in value is going down fast because no one wants to buy it.

I'd say some people would give it a chance if they knew it existed.

Oh, and one thing about the passing game is there aren't too many short pass plays. Like normally when you get a pass off in this game, you're looking at at least nine yards gained.

That's where there comes this issue with if you mess with the running speed of the players (their 40's are terrible) as well as the run blocking and such, there will be too much offense. Well I'd agree, but as a balancing point you could surely recreate some plays so that there are more short passes that are easier to make and long passes are more difficult.

Also, backing the QB camera up a couple of more clicks would be nice. I wish there was some other form of periphery as well, because I know that if I'm a QB and I'm facing east, even if I'm eyeballing a receiver that's north of me, I can still easily see what's coming east of me. Sometimes I can still see a bit of what's west of me, but this game doesn't really have any sort of way to tell you this. Even threat meters like in ESPN NFL 2K5's FPF feature would be nice, anything that can help you scramble and evade if you need to.

Oh, and scrambling in this game sucks. Just don't do it lol.
