I played the demo, and I loved everything about it gameplay-wise. Of course, there were a few unsettling issues, but I hoped they would be fixed in the final product. I had no idea Sega would actually fix every single complaint I had with the demo.

a) Stadium nets for field goals.
b) Multiple hot routes.
c) Multiple players in motion.
d) Unbeatable presentation.
e) A breathtaking weekly wrap-up including game clips.

Now it seems my only remaining complaint is that they only show screenshot highlights in the Half-Time show instead of clips, but the game just looks to satisfy all of my wishes for a football game.

September 2nd can't get here fast enough for me. Of course it is nice to have NCAA 2004 to kill the time.

Did they fix the catching this year?

NFL 2k3 had multiple hot routes....

The catching didn't need to be fixed. Have you ever thought about using the sliders provided to make catching better?

Multiple Hot Routes is toggleable in the options menu. It's defaulted to off for the demo. It was in NFL 2k3.

Well, actually, two things did need to be changed.

1) Ball physics... now if someone tips or bobbles it, it has a MUCH truer bounce.

2) The main problem with catching this year was not catching the ball, but rather when the defender hit you after you caught it, you would most likely drop it.

Both of these were fixed this year, ALONG with Human catching sliders (as I mention in another thread).
