Not just that, but the skillsets of the players are accurate. It's not just maxing out stats and having a stupid bullet time button, it's actually having Pippen play like Pippen or Larry Bird play like Larry Bird or Magic Johnson play like Magic Johnson. They have tendencies and skillsets that reflect the real player. Retro equipment. Retro arenas. Retro uniforms. Retro TV style looks. They even have broadcast style commentary for each and every classic matchup.

But Heisman modes only novelty is being able to put Charlie Ward on the Gators and using bullet time to run up the score on FSU and Miami?....and that's it? Oh yeah, then play a Road To Glory with the same player you just played a dynasty season with.

It's a slap in the face of 2K and those who enjoyed that mode to say 'this is just like that." No it's not. The NBA 2k mode is a well thought out, well implemented mode with attention to detail and authenticity. It's something for the sim heads and the casual fans. Heisman mode is a half-hearted attempt to capitalize on the success of that.

It's like that movie company the The Asylum that copies famous movies, but they are terrible straight to dvd attempts. Transformers hits theaters, and The Asylum releases Transmorphers.

Heisman mode=straight to dvd quality feature.

At the very least, they could have spent some time working on Heisman in Dynasty. Heisman presentation? Better Heisman logic?
The bold made me literally LOL. I worked at Blockbuster when that came out and we had to tell people all the time that it wasn't the real Transformers.
