I give it a 10 also. For the life of me I don't know what changed at EA to make them so disrespectful of the replay. The best sports game EA EVER made was MVP Baseball 2005. In that game they DID have the options for auto replays at LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH frequency. They EVEN had the option to turn off auto replays. I guess maybe the priorities changed or something. I just don't know why. Someone at EA Sports knew the value of the replay in their sports game. It's not that way now. Porche Unleashed was a fantastic racing game! It was also the last NFS game that featured full race replays. No full race replays in the Nascar games either. There's been a deliberate shift in strategy away from the presentation value that comes from having an adequate replay system.

There are small signs that things may be changing.
I guess we just gotta keep pushing them!
