A few control & gameplay upgrades would've make for a better experience. - Glitchy animations - Handfull of plays with results largely left up to chance. - Glitchy animations - Slow as mollasses ball carriers largely invalidates the running game. - Must cycle through all receivers.

That OXM reviewer isn't on his/her game at all. Yeah, I've given a number of criticisms to it myself, but none of them have to do with the core of what makes Tecmo Football, Tecmo Football. That just makes no sense.

But the worst of the criticism is "- No NFL license (the original had it)". Wow, really? To hold something against them that they have zero control over, is just foolishness. What a poor review
