Just picked up the new egm

Does EGM mention any actual gameplay elements, one thing I read, that was mentioned in the article, was there will be goal line pile-ups. Is there any mention of gang tackling or better blocking?

Reminds me of some republicans I know.

No create a play, I remember that one specifically. Took it out and it never returned. I know why but it's irrelevant for this discussion. No online play either. So in a sense it was stripped down.

Dreamcast to Xbox was within the same generation of console, so the point he made is irrelevant.

Good points, by both of you guys. But there's nothing you can say that would excuse IMO the dropping of something as basic as CAP when going to a new generation. Isn't the whole point of going to more powerful hardware so that you can do more things?

Forget about their dropping the ability to raise popcorn prices and other things that shouldn't have been in the game in the first place. I'd be glad to see that silly stuff gone forever. CAP is a different story though.
