Hardly. A physics engine has nothing to do with AI. Physics-based tackles might be fun to look at....but AI is what makes a sports game go.

So why is Madden successful?

I think it will too. I just clearly remember how much more intense APF felt at a slightly closer view. Once we get right down in the action it should be pretty wild.

I like the thought that you and your opponent won't actually have a complete view of the field. So, there's a chance that your opponent misses a read or blows coverage. It should be a lot more chaotic, and mistakes will stem from that.

My guess is early on that blitzing, aggressive defense will be king in this game given the new view.

I dare ya Kasey....BRING IT ON!!!

this is where using real football strategy is going to be fun....reading the defense pre-snap...counting the defenders and where they are......looking to see where the safeties are.....remembering previous plays in the game of a similar defensive line up.....all this and more just from the pre-snap.........then BOOM

OH SH1T LBs Blitzing in.....where to throw where to throw. D:

but its funny after a while of scaring someone with Blitzes up the middle....you can sneak this type of play in:

The ground can't cause a fumble, so did they rule it a sack or a sack and fumble?

I think the ball jarred loose when Kitna first got it....but the ball was stuck together between the two....but once they landed it came flying out....

man do I love that hit.....it reminds of Big Boss Man's old finisher

May sound silly, but do we know that the ball can't cause a fumble in this game? Do we know if they are using all the NFL rules or not?

After just watching this video, count me in with most of the rest of you. I was getting a bit soured on the game, mostly due to the camera angle change. But in these gameplay videos, the camera angle doesn't seem so daunting. Count me in.
And I'm hoping they have a great / fast / immediate option for Instant Replays as we'll be using the bejeebers out of it!!!

L1/R1 haha...for the old Maddens....man I loved when they had that in there.

they seem to be using the NFL rules...if you check on that one interception in the Endzone...it intially says INT but then quickly corrects itself and the overlay says the offense still has the ball.

because the Defender did not get 2 feet in.
