The game already looks plenty enough like real life - speaking to graphics and animation - for them to reasonably think that Madden is an authentic NFL video game. What they will notice is if the game teaches them the gameplay mechanics of throwing passes down field, of identifying running lanes, of breaking tackles, of making tackles, of playing coverage, of calling plays. They will care about how to play and succeed at the game first and foremost. It's not that a game can't be authentic and a video game. Clearly it can be both. My argument is that anything the user touches has rather obvious priority, and the game will rightly be designed as such.

CM I understand ur point here..but may I ask u this? If they played another football title game which I won't mention..do u think these non football people would see the difference? See the movements? The basics of movements? The interaction of all 22 players?

I think ur giving those gamers/casual core not enough credit..once the graphics "wear" off..I'm pretty sure they would notice the issues..what's funny is my belief is hardcore Football gamers are the one's that can't turn Madden down..cause they need the "fix"
