That's true. The "big name" is Montana I would guess. But it's hard to not think the game as being arcade style when the players have huge arms like they do in the pic.

I'll be honest - that does look like an Xbox banner in the out-of-focus stadium. And if it is, that probably means this game is Xbox exclusive, which means I have no dog in this fight. The PC rumors came out of that one-post wonder, and I seriously doubt the credibility of that post.

But that pic is so low-res that I don't know what to make of it. To me, the only thing that this confirms is that there is actually a football game of some sort being made.

It has been mentioned several times that Airship has been working on a "big name American football game". Blitz is a pretty big name. 2. I haven't heard anything confirmed about the game being "sim". 3. Joe tweeted "It just got Unreal". I understand he is referencing the Unreal engine, but he could be referencing the fact that the game is not sim. 4. Look at the QB in the photo. His arms are jacked, just like the players in Blitz used to be. This is all speculation, but I thought it was an interesting thought I should share.

If that happens, there will be full blown riots on social media

I like it. It takes another step away Madden and what we consider football gaming. I don't want to look at the same game, so I'm appreciating the difference.

I'm only a NBA 2K gamer but almost everything could be customized in that game, it should be the same for JM16 as well, no?

Agreed. Not only is that the last thing to worry about, but imo the community is a thousand times better than any development team for stuff like rosters. No developer (I don`t care how much they spend) can ever match the power of the users.

We would never try to compete with them." -Gabe Newell

Maybe the game is NFL Fever-esque. The player models were bulkier than their real life counterparts. However, I would consider it a sim game. I loved the graphics it had for being 2002.uploadfromtaptalk1426604034467.jpg

I agree, that post shouldn't be taken in consideration at this moment going forward. The post stated the game would have the NFL over it.

At the very least, that post needs to be taken much less seriously.

Also stated 2K was involved. Also debunked. I do not take any grains of salt with that post.
