Sega doesn't yet "get" XBL. Remember ESPN FB? Same exact thing, no changes whatsoever, and on default the running game was a joke, therefore making online play of the game worthless.
Leaks on this year's ESPN FB sound as though online is this year's focus so maybe that will change. Can only hope.

I agree that sega/vc needs to put more effort into online play , but to say the online play of espn fb was worthless is imo off the mark. That game was a great great online game. One of the most enjoyable online sports games i have played - although it would have been even better if they had nailed the running/tackling game. People adjusted and learned how to play D by always using multiple tacklers. Many players love the game and continue to actively post threads and even run leagues and tournaments despite the football season being long gone. I am a SIM gamer and i hate the fact that espnFB had unrealistic out-of-box tackling/running. But i played many great games online.
Check my earlier replies in this topic - i want fully realized online options/settings/sliders etc.
Be advised that many players will not want to play online with your sliders or your favorite camera angle if they are different from default , - there loss - but don't be surprised - But GAMES NEED ALL THE OPTIONS TO BE AVAILABLE ONLINE. That way you get the most out of the game , and friends or if you join a league may be willing to use your settings.
