fun, but missing league

User Rating: 7.2 | NFL Street XBOX
The good: fun game play and I have definitely enjoyed upgrading my players and building up my team's stats over time. Interesting option to sign a real player from an NFL team if you defeat certain challenges. Nice lighter alternative to "serious" football game like Madden.

The bad: it's not too difficult to win games, once you've got your stats up (although some of the challenges are ridiculously hard); worse, the game doesn't include a league mode where you can compete for a championship - you're stuck with a series of challenges (which are admittedly fairly addictive) and a pickup game mode (also fun) .... but that's really it. Why can't I take my team I've crafted over hours and hours into a league setting against the other teams in the game?
