I played this game non stop since it came out. Barely got any sleep. Took a day off of work. Locked the wife and kids in the basement. (Ok, I'm just kidding about my last remark.) This game is excellent. It is hard, but you can tweak it with the sliders, and you will see that eventually you will get use to it. So, what is good about this game? The graphics for the PC version are just awesome. VEry crisp and clean. You do need a powerful computer to see what it can offer, but it still looks better than the XBOX version with average settings. Gameplay is almost, very close, to perfect. In offense, you really need to know your plays and you can't expect your QB to throw while going back 20 yards. THis has made the game so much more realistic. Running is hard, but I seem to make 80 to 100 yards per game with my HB, so it is matter of just being determine and learning the game. Defense! Defense! Defense! The defense is excellent. I'm not getting burned by long passes from the opposing team all the time. Getting to the QB is much more easier than the past few years, so it is making the game more exciting. The play calling at the line is just so intuitive and a great addition to the game. Now, the computer's defense is just as good, so you really need to do some good play calling on Offense. Dynasty is excellent. The Bruno show is well done, and the user interface is design to perfection. I can find the information quick and easy. I don't have many cons at the moment. I would like to see better chearleaders, and a better interface for building a new stadium...but who really cares about those two things.
