Count on me.
I remember in the 6th generation where FPS, sports games, sandbox games, and all the "dudebro" games were considered the casual ones.. Oh how time has changed.
Not really, they've been emphasizing the "core" gameplay is all there.
Not to mention the Wii U was designed to be played by "casuals" too
I noticed that, it looked like it had 2 gamepads connected and the guy demoing it selected the team on the right.
Also lanch day confirmed, gamestop "leaked" list invalidated.

I know it's likely, but I wish they would confirm off tv play.

Welp. Only announced two titles we already knew about. UNPRECEDENTED PARTNERSHIP AMIRITE
Madden was just rumoured, not announced like FIFA 13.

I'm really trying to think of another launch where there were as many games that I wanted. Going back all the way to the SNES launch, I can't think of any at the moment.
I almost agree.
but I'm still so confused and scared about the months right after the launch...
my palm is always in my face
They showed of some stuff for Madden but they showed a demo of Fifa.
The FIFA demonstrator would say features were casual and then he would show modes where more information about the gameplay was made accessible during gameplay and in interesting visual formats. That's weird definition of casual.
To me it seems like flipping through menus with stats and gameplay options during the game isn't casual.

Mixed messages about the Wii-U? That's unprecedented.
They also seem to have bizarre definition of the word.

I hope you guys were FIFA fans before, if not you are a fickle bunch.

Details please.
I dont want to jump the gun, but if both support two pad local play this early,, that's a megaton in my book. I'll most likely buy a second Gamerpad along with both Madden and Fifa. Playing with my brothers will make the holidays legendary.
Pretty much, everything they showed look more for core gamers than casual, maybe they are scared to say the Wii U is core so they just say casual lol.
EA Sports seem to be very confused. They're talking about making FIFA easier to play for more casual gamers (with rumours of some new features left out though I don't know if he confirmed that there). Yet on the other hand they're making a game that only the most hardcore Football fans would want (all the instant tactic changes, drawing player runs during gameplay ect). They really don't seem to know what they want to do with the game. It could still be great, but they may have messed up significantly if they leave out new more complex gameplay features because of some kind of delusion that they're designing a casual Football game.. Leave everything in and that would be by far the most comprehensive Football game ever designed.
One of the features they showed was the ability to, while calling a play audible, change the route of your receivers by just drawing on the screen where you want them to go. That's pretty badass.
You tap on the screen and the Gamepad explodes.
ask and ye shall receive, apparently.

As awesome as that sounds it seems like more potential on Defense I always thought. Examples: simply touch a player and it double teams him, spy a running style QB (Cam Newton, Vick, etc...), Blitz specific players, etc....
