I don't know about the rest of the game..those are all good questions...from what I've seen and read it will be as close to real football rules...no NFL street or anything like that...but what's got me excited is that It's powered by euphoria engine....those ain't tackling animations like your used to seeing...each tackle or hit takes into account..the players body, height, weight, angle ect...so each time it will be different...it's not like maddens' or the old 2k where you will see only 10- 15 different animations....I'm a big Madden fan have been since I've been playing it on my old Sega...I can't remember ever getting hyped for a football game that doesn't have the NFL license...this might be the 1st one I give a good look at....we can tell how the running game will be by the gameplay trailer...if the passing game and defense and online play be on point might just have to pick it up...
