I dont know why, but I play this game more than any other in my collection

Although this game is by no means the best game out there. For some reason or the other I play this game more than any other game in my collection, and I consider my collection pretty solid. First things first I need to get the bad out of the way, there are some minor AI issues as CPU players sometimes step out of bounds before the first down marker on a 3rd or 4th down. The scouting section of the game seems not linked to the draft as in the information gathered by your scouting agency does not carry over during the draft. But in all fairness these are very minor issues that take away from the perfection of the game.
Game play is solid, you can customize your team as much as you want from the coach to the medical staff tacking care of your team. full control over the rosters. You get attached to your team, and you will want to play season after season either to get to the top or stay on the top. Passing and rushing is crisp, and gameplay is overall a grand joy. I admit I am not a football freak, but this game makes me one. Which makes this game my one and only current guilty pleasure.
