I'm going through slowly, I'm at the Titans, moving on to the Texans, some are better than others, but so far every one has a highlight reel :rofl:

I have a wild future prediction.

Andrew Luck wins more Super Bowls than Eli and Peyton combined.

They also greatly improved the engine to make it more 'realistic', so in order to catch the ball, the play has to physically look at it, (opposed to before where a defender would magically turn). "Physics you can feel", which adds a bucket-load of tackle animations and making tackles more realistic. They also got rid of Gus Johnson and Chris Collinsworth, and will instead have Phil Simms and Jim Nantz, who are not only much better commentators, but they weren't scripted, but rather improvised like in a game, adding realism and more immersion.

Hopefully it's impress. Sadly, they STILL haven't done a complete half time show. They are however having just menus of the games best player's stats pop up.

Combining Franchise & Superstar as in you can play just one player, but still manage the team like the GM right? Im also loving the sound of the disappearance of "Psychic DBs", i hated them worse than anything.

Also, "The Extra Point" Was in Madden 09, and its the only thing i miss from that game, other than the punting (I could actually land a punt inside the 5yard line in 09, i cant in 12, it always goes into the endzone no matter how much i work the power and height). TEP could've been far improved though.

Luck is exactly what Peyton was in 1998. The most NFL-ready quarterback in the draft.

The careers of Griffin and Luck will probably lead them to a lot of quarterback battles. If Tampa and St. Louis get their acts together we could see a new era of several colossal dynasty-grade teams battling it out on TV for the future to see.

A new golden age, man.

I want Luck to be the Next Guy Picked after Peyton in 1998. Guess who that guy was?

Luck won't be the next Ryan Leaf.

He's a very focused athlete. Leaf was anything but.

They call it Connected Careers, and to play 'superstar', you click Player (Make your own player, any player in the league (Rookie or vet), or a past great player like Deion Sanders, Barry Sanders, etc) and it's just like SuperStar with the draft, games, practices, off season, etc, with some additions like a Twitter/Website like place.

For 'Franchise' , you click Coach instead (Make your own coach, any coach in the league, or a past great coach like John Madden, Tom Landry, etc) and it's like Franchise, and you act like a Coach/GM combo playing games, signing FA, drafts, etc, with some additions like a Twitter/Website.

You can either play online or offline. Online, you can join a league with your friends and be a coach or player or whatever. (You can even access your team from your computer and change rosters, trade, and stuff. Without being on your XBox!)

Their is also a thing called 'Legacy' which is your XP of sorts. Earn it for breaking 2,000 Rushing Yards in a season or winning the superbowl, etc. If it drops to low, fired or cut. When you retire, if your legacy is high enough, you'll go to the Superbowl.

You have to buy upgrades (With XP, NOT real money) or something like that. I'm not totally sure on it.

And the Browns are beating the Packers... in a game that is more meaningless than tits on a bull.

The Browns starters (somehow) managed to outscore Green Bays. Not much that is meaningless there.

Not at all.

Panthers 8 and 8? If they stay healthy on defense (they didn't last year) then they could be the best team in the NFC South.

No, there is a lot that is meaningless there. Both sides are showing vanilla offenses and defenses. How the starters perform is important in a place like Seattle with the qb controversy, but in Green Bay it could not mean less.

Yes, I was saying it was meaningless in that post.
