My intital impression of the rosters are they look amazing. i just wish the game had 2 key customize options.
1. Uniforms- The game should have more uniform choices. i can work around most uniforms by using the classic ones provided. Since there is not many away uniform choices and as long as the uniforms do not clash i will be okay with it.
2. Stadium choices or/and team creation. I remember in Madden on Ps2 let me do stadium creation along with team creation.The creativity from that alone made it worth the 49.99 (?) as with this function it wasnt just merely a roster update. It was a blast watching the Pro Bowl with the helmets that I created. (Las Vegas Outlaws were amazing with the logo that was provided and hearing "Dateline Las Vegas" on the Tony Bruno show in between games.
The first time i didnt just skip from game to game but soaked in the "Radio Show" after a played game. its sad that with the space available on the software today this is no longer available. Instead we get generic tweets that i do not even read because they essentially say the same thing.
Sorry for the off-topic rant, but it would be a lot of fun to play these rosters with the Raiders in the LA Coliseum rather than Oakland, the Cardinals playing in an outdoor astroturf stadium rather than playing inside a dome.and so forth. Also wish we could rename teams cities. Like the Chargers back to San Diego. (I think that the Chargers in LA is blasphemy somewhere
)
The game is great but without any real customization the shelf life is pretty much limited year to year. Is the game perfect? No. Does it exactly mimic what we see on Sunday? No, but the fun factor is still there.
Once again great job on these classic rosters as it is my first time using these and am excited about it. I can finally be the AFC Champion New England Patriots with the classic uniforms and going to right the wrong that was the Super Bowl.
