I think the cartoon-ish look is the color pallete and lighting. I think that the player textures in Live for the past couple years look great with their skin looking more realistic. If they can work on the cloth physics (a little too much shorts movement), sweat (sweating profusely all the time, even bench players who haven't even got in the game yet) and maybe even some of the facial structures of some of the players, that would be great.
