This game is by far the best football game i have ever played due to its animations, gameplay, fluid motions, look, deep modes, revolutionary features and much more. Hands down a must have. The Franchise mode brings new depth to the mode with preperation for a team, with team meetings, drills and more. You can manage your cap size, trade players, and take your team all the way to the superbowl. You can simulate games or watch it happen with the gamecast feature and jump in at anytime. The draft has Mel Kiper's analysis of the upcoming players. Theres a weekly sports center featuring the ever flamboyant Chris Berman, along with Trey Wingo and a splash of Kiper. As for the gameplay it is beautiful, fluid, revolutionary with using the stick as a juke stick, half time and post game shows, all around great game. The players are balanced not one person can dominate on everyone, but they still stand out. It has great balance in everything. I could go on with the features but jus go out and get it to see yourself
