And the algorithms used in the game tries to determine what animation to trigger in every situation. Backbreaker...model of a human body with working joints and the human motor nervous system; governed by a pretty much proven engine that emulates the physics of real life. By definition the game is already a sim.

I don't get caught up in all the hoopla. People take little shots at the game, then disappear for another two months. Arcade, sim... people don't know what the heck they're talking about half the time. Labeling the game after seeing 5 mins. worth of video? C'mon.

FACT: Given what we've seen, the tackling engine is more realistic than any other game out there, including 2k5 and any Madden ever.

That alone has me excited. If they can flesh out the rest of the game, as long as this isn't some over the top, ridiculous arcade game I'll certainly give it a look.
