Good points, Chris. I prefer a realistic game myself, but I get your point about the balance between making a game realistic, yet having an easy learning curve. A lot of guys raved last year about MLB: The Show and NHL '08. In the MLB game, I thought the base running controls were too difficult when compared to the former MVP series, as was the pitching unless you went to "classic." In NHL '08, I felt you had to be a stick magician to do anything. The guys with stick skillz who wanted a realistic game loved it. My stick skillz are pretty bad, especially in a hockey game, so I put the game away after one very long, very frustrating night trying to score goals and not being able to. It was a very good NHL sim, but too difficult for me to learn.
