I play as Michigan. I know they aren't the highest ranked team in the game, and I should expect some dropped balls, fumbles, over/under throws, but not to the extent this game allows them to happen. Everybodies so quick to give this game a good rating. but I find it unacceptable I pay 60$ a year for a game that improved about 15$ from last year. The presentation this year is the best on this generation of consoles. ESPN did a good job making it feel like a fall saturday, and the announcers are actually tolerable this year.

Some lag, but I think it was my opponents connection above all else.
