Good article. I wish i could hit stick the refs. Pile ups sound interesting, hopefully they work decent. Im glad players cant stop on a dime anymore

 

[MRN]

Ehh,, IDK about this, seems kind of gay. I'm sure this will screw multiple people over. Good addition, I just see lots of people getting mad.

Mind being a bit more elaborate? There were five different aspects of the game discussed in the article.

Talking about the pile up.

the button mashing for the fumble seems a bit arcadish to me

It does... but if you are going to give the player control (and we can debate whether that is appropriate in and of itself), I honestly can't think of another way that makes sense.

I'm just hoping they ditch the meter. I'd rather the ref tell me who won.

"And here's the thing, we're not even showing everything about the game just yet. This is just a taste. We have some pretty big online features that will appeal to both competitive gamers and cooperative gamers, we have a lot more presentation features to come, as well as new Dynasty features.

"Everything I just told you, that's only really scratching the surface."

Sounds like online franchise.

To me that kinda sounds like online team play or online franchise. Although I am thinking more towards online franchise even though team play would be pretty cool too.

My theory- Online Franchise for the "Competitive gamers" and online team play for the "Cooperative gamers".

hopefully there is an option to turn off the meter and maybe the button pressing

damn people rated in the 40's, i hope the ratings are not like nba live ratings all fucked up all over the place

 

[Point Blank]

Wow, good read. I can't wait to see an demonstration of pile up and button mashing feature. I think that's a great addition to the game. And damn, I was really looking forward on Hit Stickin' refs for fun, :laugh:.

I can't fucking wait for this game. :rockwoot:

 

[Aso]

They need to get rid of the meter.

 

[j.hen]

Theres a typo in like the first couple words, lol

It would certainly have prevented the excuse of missing an important catch on 3rd down due to a referee bumping your receiver off his route "by accident."

Better yet, just do it up like Mutant League Football and just get rid of the refs... by hook or by crook.

 

[j.hen]

I guess the article gives some hope, but still...Every year it gets to the point where you feel like you'd be happy if this years game was just better then last years, and every year it seems like EA does just enough so you can say that, so you're still wanting more every year.

 

[ThunderHorse]

Why does the new rating system and the player movement remind me of 2K5?

interesting... this is stuff 2K5 had, without the arcade game where you fight for a fumble.

 

[Saluki]

If Troy Williamson was mad about his 78 rating last year, wait until he finds out he's a 52 in the new game.

LMAO, that is full of win right there

At least you have a chance to get the fumble back and not feel completely screwed now. It's in your hands.
