In case any of you guys are wondering or haven't heard, Natural Motion has the rights to the name IceBreaker...so it seems their next game will be a hockey one...imagine the collisions full speed on ice!

The only thing that I am worried about is that is seems it will be more fun to play as offense than defense. While watching the moves and camera angle, I really don't see how you will play defense unless it stays in the pre-snap defensive cam. So when you are on offense you will get the close third person cam but on defense you get the far cam. I just don't see how you can make plays in close views as defense and I definitely don't know how you would switch players.

From what I remember you can't switch players on defense. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

I think it will be like EA's NCAA game.... I had a done of fun with that view on defense.

you can try it out by downloading the demo.

I think it will be fun well to play defense from that view. Imagine playing MLB from that view and laying somebody out for example. I normally don't switch defensive players during in the play in other games so that part won't bother me.

The camera angle on both offense and defense is something I am looking forward to in the game.

I need to see the finished product. If they incorporate interactive sidelines,refs,and genuine gameplay,not just hard hitting tackles, but wrapups and the like as well, it may sway my decision. I still can't get used to those futuristic uniforms, though...

What?? is this a joke?? Who cares about those back of the box "flashy" things. We want CORE football fundementals not stupid interactive sidelines or how big the players are or ..how far has that got the Madden series.... THIS IS REAL FOOTBALL!
