Forget EA Sports - this is what NFL is like
For 20 bucks there is no better purchase. While the roster is now 2 years old it has no damaging effect on the game. The graphics are brilliant as is the sound. The gameplay is not lob sided and contains a good mix of intelligent thinking with pass and run plays to be called at the right time. The commentary is miles better than Maddens frustrating gibberish. The gameplay lasts because its not annoying when things dont go your way so you'll easily rack up a 100+ hours playing through all the game modes including the brilliant "classic situations" mode.
Since EA has bought exclusive rights to the NFL this is the last football game I am going to purchase no matter how good EAs next generation series looks.
Buy this and you will never look at another Football title again
