I doubt it'll sell more than APF. A non-licensed game from a developer who has never developed a football game before? Add to that a new non-standard camera angle?

We've seen what kind of problems games put out by EA and 2k have, and they've put out tons of them. I can't imagine at 59.99 this tech demo will sell much.

Id love to see another football option out there as much as the next guy, but........
Im firmly convinced that this is nothing but a sales pitch, to EA and others, about the game engine.

People need to get over themselves and pick up this game. The game has been developed for over 2 years now, you think they are going to miss out on key features? These guys are Madden fans, I would doubt that they would leave out their favorite feature from that game such as franchise and whatever other gimmicks EA puts into that game. Honestly I wish people would stop calling this a tech demo. If it was there would be no game and EA 09 games would have the all new Euphoria engine

Wow, 2 years, I'm sure APF was banged out in six months and that's why it didn't have franchise mode. Madden's been in development forever, that's why it's perfect, right? Until I see gameplay videos that go beyond a bunch of idiots diving wildly in a minigame, it's a nice physics engine that I hope can produce a solid game, nothing more.

Agreed, at least in the instances where defenders aren't missing diving tackles by 2-3 yards.

Actually I remember reading somewhere that they would be able to make BB a Red vs Blue type deal, XBLA title with the Euphoria engine. In the article it said that the size would be small enough to make it a XBLA title. I will search for the article again. I will post it if I find it. But I also read another article saying that it will be fully customizable, so we will have to see. IMO I hope it is a full fledge game with a franchise, sliders, etc. I would buy it to give it a chance. I know that it will be a slim chance that it will be perfect in the first try, heck Madden has been out for how long know and the cant even make a decent pocket but we will just see how this years version is. Euphoria looks great and I will be purchasing this. That has been my two cent and all IMO.

The XBLA rumor was from early 07 and has been disproved. This is a full game.

source? It has never been proved one way or another- the original article that i posted is the only one that mentions it at all. I think at this point it will be a full game, or it would have already been released; but nothing has technically been 'disproved'.

for the last time; it's not a 'tech demo' either...

the game needs to be good at least for it to be effective marketing their engine. It will also (rightfully so) amaze people that only 5-6 people made this ENTIRE game! ...that's really amazing,
imagine a game w/ 20+ teams, franchise, customization etc..made by 6 people!
