Ugh, same stiff animations and gameplay...

It looks ok. Not amazing. I can't remember the last time a football game blew me away though.

Kind of sad.

I told you.... No, Double team blocking! No Offensive or Defensive line push! No Pocket around the QB! Just the same old **** just a different Year... But now they have 2k5 pursuits, yikes.

Wow! Not impressed, looks the same with robot running and slow animations! Snow still not up to par with APF. Sad!

[Tomba]

The one upside to the way they're doing it is the "flex schedule"...allowing people to play any of thier games at anytime when two opposing players are online. That's literally the only way you could finish a 16 game schedule with 32 players. But it is light on the options like rookie drafts, free agents and such.

EA Locker is a huge thumbs up....that's the answer to all my online franchise hopes and wishes...the only problem is my season would die after like the 7th or 8th week with a stupid error while merdging the results...did you get that error as well?
