At 2:21, you can see a white scuff mark on Hillis' helmet. Very cool.

Browns have grey facemasks though. Not white.

I see a major issue for me here already....not that I wont' buy the game but Hillis is literally getting knocked off his feet almost every play...that doesn't happen IRL to any back. Most tackles are the "drag em down" type with SOME big hits thrown in....this game almost every tackle was a monster hit....crap. And by the way the commentary sounded EXACTLY the same to me.

Like the play at the 3:05 mark where Farrior chest-bump tackles Hillis and he goes flying 3 yards to the left? Completely ridiculous.

They have to fix the alignment problems. Very 1st play, double TE to the right, not a single defender outside of the TEs.

Other than they couldn't have both for some reason, this is why I don't understand getting rid of pro tak. I love that the hits are more violent, but those types of hits don't happen every play. Especially with bigger, stronger backs, there's much more of a struggle.

But this is an issue with almost all of the animations. They lack effort. When 2 players engage, the "loser" looks like... well an actor allowing himself to get tackled, pancaked, whatever. Next year they need to re-do as many animations as possible with this in mind. The actors have to struggle and resist. NFL players don't get manhandled too often unless there's a major size advantage.

Re: 5 Min RAW unedited Gameplay Steelers @ Browns

Rgiles your a presentation guy...what did you think of the commentary and the avoidance of the mentioning starters in it (when the banner pops up)..

I've been at work, so everytime I watch the videos, I mute them.

Regardless, I don't imagine I'll be too disappointed. I didn't have high expectations for the commentary this year. Especially once they hinted towards a presentation overhaul, I assumed we weren't going to get both in one cycle (broadcast presentation and overhauled commentary). I'm not someone who can play with headphones on though -- I'll just have to ride it out.

Re: 5 Min RAW unedited Gameplay Steelers @ Browns

hope was an earlier build was many glitchy spots and so forth.

Re: 5 Min RAW unedited Gameplay Steelers @ Browns

I think its an early build, because I saw no 3D grass. With the other E3 vids It looked like 3D grass.

Re: 5 Min RAW unedited Gameplay Steelers @ Browns

I am going to have to assume thats an earlier build as well. The graphics dont look as good as the recent E3 off camera vids. The game also does not appear to be running as smoothly. Some of those E3 vids the gameplay looks incredibly smooth...

Thus, why we're dubbed over-reaction sports...

ROTFLOL I hadn't heard that nickname yet ? Absolutely Hilarious !!! And sometimes absolutely accurate

I'm almost positive it was from an earlier build, I know the NCAA ones they showed were from a few months back.

Re: 5 Min RAW unedited Gameplay Steelers @ Browns

I'm hoping that this is an earlier build like people are suggesting. The awful commentary is one thing, but their half assed way of putting together the final product takes so much away from the game year after year.

Re: 5 Min RAW unedited Gameplay Steelers @ Browns

Are you guys completely ignoring the fact that the videos have E3 in the title and at the start are obviously at E3?

[jpdavis82]

Re: 5 Min RAW unedited Gameplay Steelers @ Browns

Yes they are at E3 but that doesn't mean that video is from E3, I mean the video clearly cuts from E3 to a recorded video and plus you can't hear commentary because of the background noise on E3 so that's another reason I think this video wasn't at E3
