I PRAY the AI on O/D works....

That and the play calling/playbooks and what customization/options

Oh and gameplay - as in pre-snap, game views, etc.

Because this stuff in this video looks really good.

That gang tackle at the 2:10 mark is the best looking thing I have ever seen in a football game. Not 2K or EA can touch that.

I'm getting the feeling that this games is going to piss off a bunch of "cheese" type players. Playing defense is going to be unreal versus anything else we have played before. When you go for the pick as the Saftey and miss, you won't be able to turn right around and catch up, your momentum will carry you out of the play. LBs taking bad angles or not covering their zone are going to get killed.

I think a lot of people will have to give it time to adjust to the feel of response from the players.

That is a great observation. If it makes cheesers unhappy, then all will be well with the universe.

I'm not there yet. I'm getting both games. (NCAA Football 11 is the one that's questionable.) Madden has the NFL license, and it offers a different gaming experience from Backbreaker.

However, an interesting point was made in this video.

How will people be able to go back to "canned animations" after playing Backbreaker? Will Backbreaker fundamentally change the way you view Madden?

There's no doubt the envelope has been pushed. People will want an NFL licensed Backbreaker. The NFL has to realize they're not serving the fans with the exclusivity deal. Anyway, enough of that. That's a familiar gripe.

I like the new video. Well done.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I am truly excited about what I have seen so far from this game. I know it's early and we don't have all the information we would like just yet. However, no one can deny that this is truly pushing the envelope for what we are looking for in regards to replicating the true physical fundamentals of football.

Is it me or are they talking about the same stuff over and over? I hope they start talking about the other little things that go into a football game. The tackling looks fantastic but, I want to know about rules, playbooks, etc...

If I missed that stuff can someone let me know. Thanks!

Loved hearing this at the end of the clip:
Rob Donald says "I'm a huge video game sports fan, I've been playing Football games, basketball games , soccer games for years. People are going to pick this game up, they are going to experience what Euphoria offers , and it's going to be really hard for them to go back and just play a normal canned animation sports game again."

Man I hope so, I hope this game is good enough so I won't need to buy that other game.
