You have to read the threads carefully. If your a sim style gamer and understand the x's and o's of football you should like this game, but only with the patch that fixes the sliders.
Look into the imressions thread, especially after the PS3 patch. Look into the post patch threads too. You will have to wade through a lot of garbage and multiple posts by haters but you will find a voice of reason sprinkled in here and there.
Presentation is terrible and commentary is just OK but gameplay is great and the CPU is smart.
Do some research on the "gameplan" feature because it is brilliant and works as intended. Lots of kids out there are complaining they see too many fumbles and blame EA.
The fumbles are a result of them wanting to keep their gameplan set on 'aggressive' and still be able to spin and juke their way out of a crowd. they play stupidly and expect to be rewarded. The game is too smart for that.
