Re: Where are the FPM haters now?


I remember when Super Nintendo first came out with "Mode 7" graphics for NCAA BBall (i.e. 3d environments) and I immediately imagined a game that played just like ESPN FPF.

I always wanted to see the football coming into the reciever's hands and turning an running, or rushing the ball through the line, having to make the same (limited) reads that a real RB needs to make to break a play. Mostly by feel and a sense of where others are on the filed.

I can't wait to finally play the game I wished for 12 years ago.

Re: Where are the FPM haters now?

I could care less about FPM. It is a gimmick, and doesn't interest me in the least. I'm buying this game because of the "traditional" gameplay. The fact that there is a simple, straight ahead custom cam is enough for me. This topic should be revisited in a few months anyway. THen we can see if anybody is playing it anymore. I have a feeling that people will go back to old faithful eventually, but we won't know until then.

Re: Where are the FPM haters now?

Most haters are still waiting to play the game. That way they can decide whether they hate it, like it, or love it.

Most Haters are waiting to play the game just so they can say they played it and nobody can dispute their prejudice anymore.

Brittney kissing Madonna was a gimmick. This is a mode of play and VC thinking somewhat out of the box. I am not buying the game because of FPM, but I will have as much fun with it as possible.

That's probably true but more because of fear of failing and having to learn a NEW type of gameplay.

As has been told, the mode is not easy and takes some getting used to.

I'm certainly not predicting it to be a hit with the traditional NFL 2Kx crowd.

I'm saying people who like trying (and struggling through the challenge of trying something different) may like it.

About 2 months ago it seemed like more than half the people hated VC for doing this FPM thing. People were screaming GIMMICK and what not. So what's the overall consensus now?




I'm still here !! I still won't use it!!!
