Totally hear you on this! I mean, I get that people want to play with the actual NFL rosters. But once you're 2-3 seasons in, teams are completely different anyway as made up guys enter the league via draft and players leave via free agency. At that point all you're playing with are the logos/colors.
Give me Backbreaker's logo editor, 2k5's franchise mode, and 2k8 gameplay and I'd be in heaven.
