Why attempt to simulatethatwhen you may hit adozen home runsin a row, pull off anend zone to end zoneHail Mary pass, or even play chicken with a tractor on a Nebraskan country road?

And with the franchise’s most recent title is due out in a little under two weeks EA has dropped a trailer featuring the game’s multiplayer — which looks like a ridiculous good time....

It’s a neat twist on the iconic shoot-’em-upIkarugawith light and dark projectiles that can be avoided by changing your character’s state....
