Again, not saying that what they show in June will or won't be revolutionary just that it is common practice to show builds that only contain the additions that you want to focus on, because it may not yet play nicely with all of the additions that will be in the final product.

Doesn't make sense to do that if you are showing off new presentation in what you plan to release in late August. Secondly, why would they use Madden 10 to showcase anything when they've had people at CD already who have played and seen 13. It's time to let the new cat out of the bag, not dig up and old dead cat.

If it is an old build that they show, it will be an old build of 13. From my knowledge EA has never gone back intentionally to show us what is going to be in the new game by digging up a last year or the year prior to that. The only reason they would show something old is to show how the new is that much better. Never seen them do that otherwise.

Maybe that's to hide something else because they have never done that before, normally they show actual in-game footage, right? So presumably they will do the same thing Wednesday with Madden 13, using Power Point to hopefully keep other upgrades under wraps.

But did they not show in-game footage for NCAA? I thought they did. They implemented the alignment feature on defense and they showed that. They showed the passing game mechanic. Sure there may be some things that we don't see. When I went to CD for 2010 there were some things that we didn't see like online franchise, players playing through injuries. If there is any inkling of physics engine in the game then the CD guys have already experienced it and I'm sure you might see some indication of that on Wednesday. They did not fly those guys down there for them to play the game without a physics engine so that they could not receive any feedback on it IF that is what they have in the game.

NCAA does not have double team blocking ect, they didn't keep that under wraps. They did not even re-write the pass blocking logic. That's not under wraps. You can tell from the footage that we have seen that this stuff did not get addressed. So why do you guys think they are gonna try to hide that stuff from you with Madden. IF they are going to hide anything it is something they don't want you to see, not because it is an upgrade but because it is something that needs to be "tweaked/fixed."

Secondly, the whole "blur the line between the virtual and the real" has me thinking more of somehow mapping the real NFL into Madden. Haven't really thought it out yet.

So let me ask this. Are you telling me in the grand scheme of things, that the NCAA I saw on the podcast does not reveal most of what the game play will be like?

given that the new announcing duo is Nantz and Simms (was announced on Awful Announcing last week), could this possibly mean some sort of broadcast integration?
