Cure your ignorance by reading through my myriad of angry criticisms of Madden.

so youre hating on the game because the players dont look exactly like maddens? thats what you want right? different gaming companies cant be different. BB is supposedly based in the not so distant future so their play models will look different. However , i dont care about what they look like. Euphoria is seemingly amazing. As ar the physics in this game. If you dont give the game a chance because of the euipment the players when then, im sorry but you are an idiot and should your system taken from you.

So.... I see we're all still arguing over if Bigfoot can dance still.

Don't mind me. I'll join in when I get a chance to play the game.

In motion, maybe, but visually alone, they do NOT look more realistic than Madden's players. This is pure fanboyism on your part... That's a great opinion. I respect your opinion. However, having an opinion does not make one right. Why must we sacrifice one for the other?

First Bold: Thank you for admitting that BB looks better in motion which is how I play games. Maybe you play frame by frame but I don't.


Second Bold: Graphics are not as important as gameplay. It is better to have great gameplay and bad graphics, than great graphics and bad gameplay. It is a game, so how the game plays is important. And the graphics in BB are not that bad really. The ball is way better looking than maddens. And the grass as well. The lighting is more advanced. So, the only thing that really is unattractive graphically is the unis.

Admitting? What's with you people? I am NEUTRAL when it comes to video game football. Why do you assume that everyone who levels a criticism at BB must somehow be a Madden fanboy or spy or whatever?

Can't I complain about a flaw I see in a game without secretly being hard up for it's competition?

And the reason I said BB looks better in motion is because of the engine itself. I have yet to see Tron jogging, but then, I have yet to see game play video.

Yes. That is what I said.

Really? Another BB fan who thinks that anyone who complains about BB is therefore a Madden fanboy/spy/whatever? Is it not possible to objectively raise a criticism about BB? What is WITH you people?


No, I'm not "hating on" the game because the players don't look like Madden's. I'm hating on the game because the players don't look like football players. They look like robocop.

I want a football game. Not a sci-fi football game. If I wanted sci-fi I'd go play Mutant League Football.

And? What's so hard about creating a fictional contemporary American Football League? Again... Mutant Football League is waiting for me if I want sci-fi football.

Oh really?! I didn't know that! /sarcasm

Is it really so hard to read a thread before you call names? I already stated in this thread that I WOULD give the game a chance, after some discussion.

Do you only read the first post in a thread and then respond? Clearly you don't, because you responded to a later post of mine. So what is it? Why the misunderstanding of my position? Are you just defensive? What is it?

I didn't say you were a Madden fanboy. You just said that they look better than madden in motion, which is what matters, than said Maddens look better. (a contradiction) I thought you were complaining about graphics as a whole. That is what your posts made it seem like (except the ones you quoted).

I do see where you are coming from. It just seemed kinda weird to place such an emphasis on player models when that really is not what is important.

Immersion IS important though, and I am afraid that unrealistic models will hurt immersion.

[t11]

Games with far less graphics capabilities (meaning crappy player models) have acheived immersion.

But, at least that post shows that you are unsure. You seemed adamant about your position before. I don't think the player models will hurt immersion, it just might take some getting used to.
