I realize many of those features would be lost on a typical player and I understand that. If I played DD or RttS I'd probably still play buy the game. Its just the lack of any meaningful improvement to the realism of GM-type features doesn't make me feel like buying the game this year.
I co-sign every part of this post except the not buying the game part. Even with none of the additional franchise depth wanted (when do we get our "foundation year"?), this new version is still loaded with improvements. I can see myself watching the flight of the ball for about 5-10 games just to behold round-on-round ball physics. And the HDR + better player faces could make it appear like an enitirely new game.

BAWL FIZZICKS!!!
