I dont really care if it's not NFL branded, I love football for football. This game looks absolutely great but it's just a start for these rookie developers of this genre, cant wait too play

It's funny how all the Boring Madden fans are in here Hating on everyone's Positive comments.

Backbreaker I hope you get the guys at EA to wake up and get to actually REVAMPING something that changes the game and makes it worth buying year after year... (doubt it)

I'm pulling for you Backbreaker!

{{--REASONS NOT TO BUY--}}

There is no other camera option other than the default camera
You don't control the camera
Every move is tied to the analog sticks even passing
Delay in offensive response time while defensive response time is near 1 to 1
All the players are the same size
The developers are European, and had to learn American football (NOT A GOOD SIGN)
Lack of presentation
Can't control replays
Lacking Football AI both offensive and defensive
Generic play books
Can't share custom teams
Only your "friends" will be able to see your created team or stadium
Only day, night, rain and sunnny days, no snow.
No sliders for adjusting difficulty

{} REASONS TO BUY{}
It's not Madden
Anyone can pick it up and be good at the game
Euphoria physics engine will guarantee you won't see the same tackles all the time. (The best aspect of the game, and it's only selling point. 3 dev diaries and that's all they mentioned.)

True football fans will be disappointed while arcade fans can rejoice it's not BLITZ, just BLITZ like.

This is what I have personally been waiting for in a football game. I hope there is a demo and i hope its as good as it looks.
I actually am jazzed about no nfl licensees. This way i can make my own team to care about.
cant wait

PERIFERAL VISION IS 25% when running up the field... I cant see the guy 3 feet to my left about to hit me. This can only work in single player, if at all. A first person football game from inside the helmet gameplay is what ive been waiting to call innovative! im also not going to put my hard earned money into a game made by soccer huligans...kidding, Ill rent it.

Man this game looks amazing, I have not been this excited for a sports game in sooooo long. If this gets good reviews I will have to buy my first football game since NFL N2K5!
