I am amazed at all of the little touches this game has. Rain splashing off helmets. The football flight physics. Various catch animations. But nothing could prepare me for what I saw when I played this evening.
I was playing as my created 1990 Philadelphia Wings (cough - Eagles). I have made the entire team as far as it would let me. Accurate uni's, everything.
Randall dropped back to pass and the DE (Too Tall Jones) came rushing at him. I flicked the right thumbstick to evade and I kid you not, Too Tall leveled Randall and Randall tipped over, feet in the air, putting his free arm out to catch himself. He righted himself and completed the play. It was the spitting image of the famous Carl Banks hit.

Amazing. It's almost as if the programmers just knew it was Cunningham's famous moment to replay over again.
