I'll say I'm sick of the 2k talk after all these years, but it's worth invoking here. I actually never played All-Pro Football (I played 2k religiously on DC), but I watched some youtube videos today, and I was very impressed by what I saw from an engine based on technology from the Dreamcast era.

It has its own legacy issues, and some things look awful, but there is so much going on that is still superior to EA's efforts. That's what disappoints me more than anything. Sure, I lament the fact that engine didn't get a chance to grow this past generation, but moreso, it's regrettable that EA football is, and continues to be, locked into a terrible software base for their games.

It does feel like a bit like the nightmare of Madden 06 next-gen all over right now.
