LOL ya it was kind of plain. But it ain't what's on the outside that counts. It's what the inside that really count.

LOL, I won't lie, I was laughing when I saw the back of the case. It's like the marketing department was like F it, lets just get this thing DONE.

Re: Who ever designed the back of this case should be fired

Yeah the back of the case for EA sports game has been plain lately. I mean you should see the back of FIFA cases, 3 lines in English, 3 in spanish.

Companies really need to focus on the back of the case. When I worked in electronics department at Walmart, I can't tell you how many times customers wanted to read the back of the case 1st before they decided if they wanted to buy it or not.

And most of the time they passed up a game because it wasn't enough info on the back of the game to either explain what was new in it or what a certain feature actually did.

You've got a point there, LOL!

The 120 Ways to win thing is fine, that works.

"Dictate the Tempo of the game". I believe that was in last years game.

"Acceleration counts as much as speed". Again, to the Casual player, this means absolutely nothing. They should have mentioned Locomotion, that just sounds better.

"Stay Connected with Dynasty Wire". If you had done no Research on this game, you would have no clue what this is. Dynasty Wire needs to be explained, it is not a great bullet point.

Basically The two biggest Additions did not make it on the back of the case. Dynasty Improvements(recruiting) and ESPN. I cannot believe ESPN somehow got omitted, seriously, this is probably the biggest selling point and it is not even mentioned.

What I am saying is that the back of this case does not do the game justice.
ESPN is mentioned on the front cover just like last year

First thing I said when I looked at it was, "Damn, they are really trying to save some money..."
