No where near perfection.
EA does not have to produce a good game because there is no competition.
First of all none of the game modes even got touched for this years game. Superstar mode and Franchise are the exact same as they have been. The passing game is super unrealistic. You cannot, i repeat cannot throw a pass over the top to your receiver, the defenders jump 15 feet up in the air to deflect those passes so the only way your completed a pass is if its a laser on an out route. In every game somebody gets flipped up into the air when they get tackled/blocked, so all i can say about that is show me at least 2 games a week in the real NFL where somebody goes flying in the air. Running the ball in the game is pretty fun i must say though. Its a very realistic running game. Online play is pretty nice. I have only played one game online but it was lag free so that was good, but all over the forums people say others cheat online so that is definitely not good. So in all this game is just like last years. The game may look amazing in screen shots but just watch some videos and you will see how fake it really is
