Gamespot-EA's top 25 continued...

Suction blocking ruins EVERYTHING...

Its a joke how i can be on the verge of setting sacked, then cutting right and watching the defensive lineman copy all my moves and purposely run into a lineman.

Its awful...It shows EA doesn't watch football..If i worked at EA and saw this, i would pause and say:
"What the **** is this, why would a guy purposely run into a defender..Do any of you watch Football?"

Then i would get thrown out, find a brick and chuck it at there window...But EA is rich, so it would probably just bounce of the glass and come back at me.

I just saw the VT one... I can't wait for this game.

So are there not clear visors in this game? Both Kyle Wright and Drew Tate wear the clear kind in real life, but in the IGN videos Wright had the dark tinted one and in gamespot video with Iowa Tate has a dark one as well.

I'm not happy about it either, but that was the first glaring example of suction blocking I have seen to date. Otoh, I have seen several plays where defensive players continue past potential blockers on their way to the ball carrier, so hopefully this was just an isolated case.

Would someone please prescribe this guy a chill pill....it was one time that it happenend...whooopeee...it doesn't appear to happen often...all games have small glitches, especially sports games....you're acting like this is going to prevent you from buying the game just because you saw it one time in a video.

Im not even very upset, im calm right now.

I guess you dont realize how suction blocking ruins the game, if it is in it will be a shame.

I am with you 100%. I was happy with the lack of suction blocking then..... I am happily watching all the vids when I get to that.......am awed by the pancake a fraction of a second earlier then - WTF?! I watched it over and over again trying to see if maybe something else could have caused it. NOPE.

Hopefully it is isolated because I liked everything else.
* empty seats up high in the TENN vid
* dog bones on the backs of helmets, even in the cutscene of the lineman dropping into their stances (tiny, but a nice detail)
*day to night in NEB
