Thanks Steve! Glad to have you out there as a voice for us sim gamers. I know you will discuss with them the items you mentioned for implementation next year.

Sounds great, but I think the lack of PI calls is a mistake on EA's part. I think a priority on all penaltys should have been a priority along time ago. It's a part of football as much as field goals, safety's and really anything else!

I fully agree and I am glad that there seems to truly be a foundation for representing penalties far more realistically now with this new engine. I always felt in the past, the reason DPI had been so toned down was due to the way the player interacted with all the sliding/warping/suction. Now with these RTP based system, penalties and injuries should began to see much more attention to detail going forward. I also highly expect there will be considerable AI upgrades next year as well, circa NHL and FIFA.

I love the way things are really shaping up to not just be thrown in the game but represented NFL authentic. It is an exciting new era for football games, imo.

I hope with this engine, we can recreate Jerome Simpson's infamous flop, lol...

did you hear any commentary?? because EA needs to redeem themselves after that video they put out a few weeks ago .

Good write-up.

Can't wait for the gameplay videos.

So from what I gather...

The Good.

- The Infinitely engine is the real deal.
- Defensive plays well with this engine.

The Bad.

- No PI calls still even with this new engine.
- Sounds like the OL/DL doesn't react to RTP since he said they need the 400 animations like the catching got this year.

still seems like a purchase this year for me.

No realistic OL/DL interactions either...

Next year: if they focus on tuning RTP, adding / fixing penalties, oline and dline interactions, adding import drafts and fantasy draft, allowing more people on teams in CC this will be such an awesome game! This year finally great ground work to start from! Too bad EA didn't get the memo until 7 years for the console generation.
