Thats all I was saying with the commentary post I made. It seems weird that Damon is talking about commentary this close to the RUMORED release date. That would make me think that either Cameron's involvement is going to be small or the game isnt scheduled to release this summer.

Oh ok. I didn't know if you were one of the people completely writing off the post at this point.

I think everything is weird at this point, lol. His response could be taken a number of ways. They could already have something in place and be discussing something further down the line, they could have nothing and be talking about exactly what people are thinking, it could be a small roll, anything is possible with this game at this point.

Im sure this has been aswered at some point, but what exactly has Damon Grow done before this in the video game world?

I'm starting to think the angle for Grow and Montana is to create a bunch of hype over almost nothing in the hopes of getting some investors with deep pockets interested. Montana has been all over the place trying to invest in this, that and everything else and Grow, in the past decade or so, has been "co-founder" of a handful of startups that seem to not even exist anymore. Nothing on his resume is remotely close to "I was involved with a team that released a AAA video game" and none of it had anything to do with football, nor any other sport.

They've manufactured hype out of thin air. A well-placed troll post sent it over the edge. Grow denies all the rumors we don't want to hear then dances around the ones we wish were true ("Are you working with EA on this game?" "No."
... "Are you working with 2K?" "That's not as certain ")... They've got people pledging to buy the game sight-unseen, myself included, and all we've seen is a blurry-*** screenshot of something that looks kinda like a football game. "All information comes through Joe." Lol nonsense. No info comes from anywhere because they probably don't have anything worth getting excited about. The only reason for this secrecy is to create hype they don't deserve.

If you can't announce devs/publishers/platforms then you probably don't even have a video game. When was the last time we had the title and a screenshot of a game before we knew any of that other stuff?

EDIT: https://twitter.com/DamonGrow/status/560928113861750785

Either they're working with 2K, in some capacity, on a football game or the dude is flat out misleading people for attention. I can't draw any other conclusions from that, and I lean toward the latter.

..and once again 2k has nothing to do with this

I think we will continue to see A little dribble here and there until E3 and then hopefully we get blown away. The way they have went about things are interesting but you all have to admit it's created some buzz.

I feel like a decent-looking video or a juicy publisher announcement or confirmation that this is an actual video game coming to platform x and y and z would generate an infinitely larger amount of buzz.

It made some buzz yeah. But "the post" generated way more buzz than they ever did.

I've been absent from the forum for a couple of days since the JM16 talk died down and only now am stumbling across this thread. Has anything been confirmed/speculated upon/stumbled across? Basically are there any new leaks of evidence/info I have missed? A response would muchly be appreciated, and I am looking forward to a continued discussion on the thread.
