Well wont you feel like a bigger idiot after spending $60?...My gut tells me is the same old crap from EA...You know its no good when you having problems telling it apart from 07... I saw generic, no-personality animations like before ...Defenders are still skating and not looking at the football...And the end of play animations are still plastic and repetitive...Maybe am getting too old but I just cant take this type of crap anymore

1998 before most large media went internet.

Surely you are not talking about the next Gen version?

And by the way someone brought up the point of will people be critical in the same way of APF 2k8 when videos begin to be released for it. As much as I am looking forward to this game - if the preview vids underwhelm, I will be the most vocal critic.

Isn't this the pot calling the kettle black.

Yeah last year's next gen version was amazing. What's your beef with it...that it's a EA football game?
