I was excited when EA announced that this game would be on Xbox Live. But after playing the single-player game, I haven't even bothered to play it online. First of all, it is absolutely impossible to complete a pass. When the ball is thrown every man in the secondary immediately goes straight to where the ball is going and your open man is suddenly in quadruple coverage. On the rare occasions he is open, he drops it. The only passes I've been able to complete are long bombs where the receiver will drag down a ball with 3 other guys going up with him. The announcers haven't added any new commentary since NCAA 2003 and the gameplay is very slow immediately after the snap. I played one season of this game and then bought ESPN NFL 2K5 which is a far superior game. Get it instead.
