Video Game Physics

As a fan of sports and video games, and a student of physics, it is very interesting to see the two try and merge. Every year Madden is boasting about how its new game will better incorporate momentum into creating authentic collisions between players, and yet every year the ball floats through the air like it is filled with helium. Also, the NBA games talk about incorporating momentum and weight into player movement while enabling players to make unrealistic changes in direction. Game companies need to realize that attempting to improve the physics of their games will not always improve the quality or authenticity of the product, and should leave innovation in physics to the scientists.
