It is an interesting perspective to see fan response from the developer's eyes. He mentions kind of being "damned if you do, damned if you don't". I kind of see where he's coming from in a lot of the game aspects, especially finding the balance between creating a sim game vs. an arcade game. I noticed a few comments from yesterday about how people would skip this year's game based off of one screenshot. I mean, come on...Virginia Tech Hokies
Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta BravesComment

My favorite part was the mention of hand fighting and procedural awareness so players are aware of other players when moving through traffic. Hopefully this transitions to the WR/DB interactions too. Least favorite part was the end discussion about that dreaded "balance" of "fun" vs realism, please just let that notion go, realism IS fun in a sim. The straw man of an unexpected fumble in a big game as a reason for capping capable realism should stop. Fumbles and mishaps period are a part of football, so there needs to be variety in a football game, not just oversimplified win/loss.
For example, there can't be just two shotgun snap animations, one that playsout for a high snap over the QB and one for a successful snap. There needs to be several types of snaps ranging from ideal to potentially disastrous. In a basketball video game with passes and lobs for dunks, there are variations of these things in-game so when one of these result in a complete mishap, ie pass flying well over the intended targets head, it seems dynamic and organic, not like a win/loss dice roll.
For all the strides they seem to be making that "fun" balance POV is still holding EA football games back from being as good as the top sports sims, imo.Comment

Is Greg the guy that reviews the football games????? At the end of the video he says "the game is getting too real" and "i like to just put a WR and TE and drop back and throw a 50 yd hail mary"
Well if that didn't solidify why people don't listen to those reviews, then I don't know what else will. I truly hope that the developers don't listen to those type of people.Comment
