I'm not too impressed. Physics doesn't affect gameplay at all, just aesthetics. So now the physics will show you an arm being hit to cause a fumble rather than it just be a canned motion. Outcome is the same, it's a fumble. For me it's presentation, gameplay, and then prettiness.

I'll get happy when they show more vids of the presentation and off the field stuff

How can you say physics doesnt affect Gameplay?

A player getting stuck in an animation and falling forward for a first down when you have your safety trying to hit him in the face which would have caused him to fall short if he was able to engage the animation? If it is a true physics situation then your safety does pop him causing him to come up short.

That is affecting gameplay.

NBA elite had physics too

If no play is ever the same because, of physics then how doesn't it effect gameplay?

The physics look pretty sweet. And I'm loving the addition of the stories and the Twitter feeds. I hope that's a feature of franchise mode.

I think they've hit all the nails I had to hit -- super and psychic defenders, pass trajectory, commentary, bringing franchise mode to life, and giving us some next gen horsepower on the field. This has to be a must buy for me.

They definitely did. Since this showcase, the 3 year plan is going well for them. If it's like this on step two I wonder how step 3 will be. Nice job EA. You truly listened to the fans this year.

I must say that from the amount of commentary I saw today on E3 things seemed to run pretty smooth. They kinda of gave us a taste when they showed Joe Montana playing the game.

I don't think he's being negative, just don't understand the physics not effecting gameplay part. That completely changes the way a game is played.

Now I just need to hear about one more thing, namely, teammate A.I. BFD talks about this alot and I agree. I don't like the fate of the team just to be in my hands. This is a team game and I need my A.I teammates to do and act like the real players do and act. Outside of that this looks like it will hold my attention.

Whoo, and you guys should have seen the connected careers explanation earlier. It seemed pretty interesting.

You don't understand. Let me paint a single instance that flushes your point of view down the drain.

Madden 12: WR makes a catch animation, the LB goes for it as well, LB bounces off the WR and the WR catches the ball, then rips off 30 yards.

Madden 13: WR makes a catch animation, LB goes for it as well, LB and WR collide and the ball flies out of the WR hands or at the least stumbles to the ground for a 5 yard gain.


Let's not make inaccurate assumptions about what a new physics engine will do. With what they're putting into place, Oline-Dline play in the next year or so will be completely changed forever.
