		<description>man madden is gonna be great, 2k8 is gonna be just as good, game play wise. why are people fronting like they arent gonna play both games, I know I will. madden is better then the 2k series in some ways, and 2k has been better then madden in some ways. so now that 2k is back this is good for football gaming, whats wrong with variaty. 2k8 is gonna sell, I mean look at all the buzz it's getting. The video grapics arent all that ill admit, but its just refreshing to feel some hype on something other then madden and ncaa football for the first time in years. This will be a great year for next gen football, so all the ea madden heads shut the fuck up and stop hating, it gives you wrinkles.</description>

		<description>Another reason for me to believe they're using NM is because they're using an engine they're used to. So instead of focusing on a newer engine, they can dedicate their time to intergrating NM/E.</description>

		<description>I still don't know about NM.  I would love to see that they put it in there, but who knows.  I definately think that if 2K8 does well, we'll see it in the next iteration of the game if it's not there already.

Hmmm .... I guess the little kiddies don't like us 30 year old gamers with opinions.  Sad...

As for fake teams and real teams, it makes no difference to me as long as the game plays like a game of football should.  I typically do franchise (which regretably is left out) and after just a couple seasons, the teams are all changed up and no longer realistic anyhow.</description>

		<description>i see that you were upset by my 75-63 score but for some reason you did not coment on what a quick slant is. maybe because you have never played organized football you can't understand. anyone who has put on an helmet knows a quick slant is no more than a three step drop, not 25 yards off your back foot.The other reason to drop 25 yards on madden is to get the ai to suddenly stop covering the reciever. Madden is lazy, and cater to people who have never, or could not play the real game</description>

		<description>Mad,

Thanks again for the article.  From the very beginning, APF 2K8 has had so much speculation wrapped around it.  At first we all wondered if there would even be a game.  then when we found out there would, the speculation flood ran deep.

It's been fun reading opinions and thoughts on the game.  One things for sure, they are doing something neat with this animation system.

Hey, is 30YearOldGamerFag.com taken?  I see great success with that!</description>

		<description>i would rather play madden anyday over 2k. madden 07 wasnt that good last year for 360 i admit, but i would still rather play it then play a fake game. i minus well play blitz the league then if i wanted a little fun game with fake teams.  you idiots you would actually play with fake teams over real teams. and obviously you fags dont play on all madden if your getting score 75-65 like that douche said. Mad gamer also you need to spend more time talking to girls rather then taking 20 minutes to write that up you 30 year old gamer fag.</description>

		<description>I personally believe they're using it for a few reasons:
     I've downloaded the demo for NM. Learned alot about it. I know that it DOESN'T replace an engine, it runs along side it. So 2k could still use the 2k5 engine and NM can run along with it.
     If you haven't been fortunate enough to experience it first hand you should visit the site and download it. You can see personally and gain a stronger belief that they are in-fact using NM.
     For example, when the reciever is running his route and stumbles, if you're familiar with the program, you should know how it's happened. With NM/Euphoria, the ground can be given specific qualities. In that particular scene it was muddy grass. The character can be given specific strengths to specific parts of the body. His legs could be moving fast enough to make him lose footing/balance if you want him too (which he did). The reciever was given a specific run animation. With NM/Euphoria, the reciever will do his best to do so dynamically. Meaning if he stumbles, NM/E takes over and the simulation occurs. He may even fall if he can't regain his footing. Instead of spending so much time trying to capture all these different possible variations, it all happens on its own.
     It's time for developers to focus more on dynamics, animations, and uniqueness now rather than pretty graphics. A football game where every hit is different is one of unlimited replayablity.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;dQbell/ScottyP,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When we were told the interview would have to be postponed the exact words used were "we are currently unable to discuss any euphoria related inquiries."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When we looked back through our email correspondence to them we realized that we never mentioned euphoria specifically in our request to interview them. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We simply said we would like to sit down with them and discuss NaturalMotion as a company and their products as a whole.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They may have seen the all the APF 2K8 related stories on our site and decided to postpone the interview for that reason.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>They have already said they are using the 2K5 engine.  Seeing as how that engine still runs better than some of the alternatives, I don't see a problem with polishing and reusing it.  Euphoria/Natural Motion can run beside an existing game engine.  It doesn't have to be it's own engine.  They could have added it to the 2K5 engine.

Do I think they are using it?  I'm not sure yet.  It will be sweet if they do, but the animation in the game already looks amazing regardless of what they are using.</description>

		<description>One thing to remember is that Euphoria runs along side the existing engine.  It does not replace it.

Also, There are cases in the video that would lead me to belive some animations are "canned", but there is one instance in particular that I keep going back to.

38 seconds into the video, During Payton's run. The emphasis is not on Payton, but on a blocker (#81) upfield. He is pushing the defender away from Payton, and while he does, he falls to his knees.

Now, what happens next is pretty wild. Another defender (#20) gets tangled up with the guy #81 is blocking. He falls to his feet, gets back up and continues pursuit. All the while, the original blocker (#81), after falling to his knees, continues to block and EVEN SHIFTS HIS BODY to continue the block.

Again, We can't say the game is definately using Euphoria. We just don't have that information, but this game is using a very refined animation system that includes the possibility of some very complex character responses.</description>

		<description>madden is not real football there are no money plays or drums when there is a long pass thrown. also a quick slant means just that not backing up 25 yards and putting it on the money off your back foot. you tell me the last time a "real" football game had scores of 75-63</description>

BAUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Could it be any more obvious that you are sucking EA's cock?

You're one of the dumbasses who do not understand REAL FOOTBALL that EA caters to.  Why do you think there is the "drooop" sound on deep passes in Madden 07?  Because EA is trying to make a game that retards like you will enjoy.

How does that rock hard EA dick taste, 2k sucks?</description>

		<description>I think the video on Monday will be new, better, and longer. Just looking at "The Big's" first official video tells you that it will be awesome. 

SpikeTV's video seems like a video they made months ago for a possible release to the public, but than they changed their mines. (EA stealing ideas)

Monday's video will be TIGHT!</description>

		<description>Mad, what are your thoughts on all of this?

Do you believe 2k is in the game?

And do you believe Monday's trailer will be different than what we say Friday/Saturday?</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;2k sucks,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While we can definitely understand how an individual could dislike a game, your reasoning baffles us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First you referred to the list of players as "old". The players you are referring to for the most part paved the way for the players we all watch on our TV sets today. The players you admire in the NFL will eventually be old themselves and if they are lucky some of them will join the "old players" you are referring to in Canton Ohio, but most will not.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As far as your comment about 2K sucking, well the name you chose to post on this site says loud in clear what you think of 2K without you needing to say a word. However if you &lt;a href="http://www.2ksports.com/go/gamerschoice/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; you will see that you are in fact the minority on this subject. Being a minority is not all that bad though, in this case it just means that more people than not disagree with you, and those same people probably think that  you yourself suck.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>It's interesting to me the one image you show that leads us to believe it's not NM is the cutscene.  Could it be that NM is reserved for all "live" gameplay animations, and not include "cutscenes?"

Great article.  Thanks</description>

		<description>A.Clown,

I will look at the quicktime video in slo mo. This might be a case where I was just expecting more because the wait to see anything has been so long. Just not very impressed at the moment but I will give it a look.</description>

		<description>I don't care if it is the 2K5 engine or not, I just want something to compete with Madden so they are forced to be more innovative.  

Here is what I look for:

1) Will it be fun?
2) Will I want to play it online?
3) Does it have replay value?

If even two of those three are answered, then count me in!</description>

		<description>Kill Joy:

Look at the vid in slow motion (quick time).
You'll notice the plethora of things going on (like rain bouncing off players and drops sticking to helmets) and...

You'll see that the reasons the game looks terrible are:
1.) The uniforms are horrible and do not flatter the graphics like NFL uni's do
2.) The player models are decent, but they need work
3.) The grass looks like confeti.

Other than that, watching it in slo-mo makes it look better, IMHO</description>

		<description>Hi Mario,

We are very excited about the NaturalMotion technology as well, and are still very much looking forward to interviewing the CEO of the company as soon as they are able to discuss the technology openly again.

		<description>Naturalmotion is where the future of animation lies. Every tackle is unique. You can't beat that. That's realism. I heard the injuries happen in real-time due to the new engine. Unlike that other game, you can actually watch the replay and see exactly how that knee got sprained or that shoulder got dislocated.</description>

		<description>I agree with Jon, Why is everyone so concerned about this natural motion thing? The game looks terrible and that should be of more concern then anything else. I am not convinced that i am gonna dish out 60 bucks for this game.</description>
