Better game play than Madden.
I LOVE IT. The game play is better than Madden, graphics are decent, building a team of my favorite childhood legends is a load of fun. The online play is outstanding. The online leagues, tournaments, and VIP stats are awesome. The A.I. is good and the game is realistic unlike the arcade-like Blitz the League game. The team customization is great from the uniforms, to the logos, to the team colors, and a decent number of team names and cities to choose from.
The only downside is that it doesn't have a franchise mode. It only allows you to play one season and then start over.
That is the only downside for me. I love the game and look forward to another edition of it this coming year (hopefully with more legends and a franchise mode.)
