Improve the simmed stats. None of this 200+ tackles a season stuff.

better UI, better defense and better special teams.

Free online leagues with detailed stat tracking for xbl like there was for the ps2 last year.

I thought it was in here but I know I saw it mentioned on one of these boards. Better reaction from the D. I just watched the replay of a TD in the 4th game of my Lions dynasty and OLB #54(B.Green) kinda watched Clinton Portis take the swing pass in for the 10 yd TD. Sure, his coverage rating is a 59 but damn. He was promptly subbed out for a guy with a higher coverage rating but slightly lower Run Coverage rating #59(J.Gooch). I love how the ratings make differnce and it's really not guesswork who you want to have in the game. I couldn't take control because I was already switching to another player trying to finish off Portis. Sheesh! Oh well, it's only 7-0!

"What aspect of Espn are you hoping they improved?"

Better arm length

j/k! I know that'll have to wait...won't happen this yr.

anyway...reasonable stuff:

- Improved Player movement..turning and running (with ball)
- Better Franchise depth and Polish (will coaches around the league actually get fired this yr?)
- Deeper C.A.P option
- Better OLine pass blocking AI
- More realistic Fatigue Model

just to name a few. Game is looking pretty dam good from the footage I've seen so far though.

Definitely 2 big ones that I'm quite sure have been addressed.

Oh yeah and also thicker face masks and angle them up a little higher. Afterall they're facemasks not chin masks. j/k

I hope the defensive AI tackles me as I am running down the sideline and doesn't stop, let me go by, then chase me from behind.
