It seems to me that there are two definitive groups of OS'ers when it comes to football games (or any sports game for that matter): those who want their game to look like football and those who want their game to play like football.
To elaborate further, a game that looks like football abides by the standard conventions of the sport: 11 on 11, rules and penalties in place, with players of the correct sizes, proportions, and abilities.
A game that plays like football has proper momentum, proper player weightiness, proper ball trajectory and physics, dynamic interactions between players during play, and an artificial intelligence system that allows CPU controlled players to read and react to the play on the field in respect to how human beings actually perceive such actions taking place in those exact moments. These means that defenders can only defend passes that they can see and time properly enough to react to it; offensive lineman cannot magically slide into place to block a blitzing player just to make the CPU "competitive"; defensive lineman cannot magically shed blocks the moment the ball carrier is about to run by them; and players properly accelerate and decelerate in respect to their size and weight.
Those who want the look of football seem to be happy with the current crop of football games, while those who want their games to play like football sit disappointed for yet another year -- add me to the latter group.
So what's more important to you: a game that delivers realistic stats and scores even if the gameplay isn't exactly realistic throughout or a game that's as authentic as possible even if the "fun factor" isn't as predominate?

I pretty much want 2K Basketball's drive, presentation, overall appreciation for the lovers of the game's heart put into MADDEN 13'. It's clear NFL is happy with the EA deal which kills it for anyone who dislikes where this game has gone up or down over the years. If it's in the game... then I want it in my game. MLB the show, 2k Basketball, NFL2K5 & 2K6 when it was in its prime and only getting better...
Building a great football game with all the bells and whistles should have been started by now. We are yet to see it, even APF fell off pretty badly.
