The game is great. The graphics improved a little bit, but it's noticable. The controls changed from what I liked, but it's easy to get used to. For some reason it's easier than 07. There are updated rosters (obviously), in Hall of Fame mode you can be a real rookie. But sadly when you make you guy you can't customize his build (or at least I didn't). All the teams are in the 80's in stats though. The game is great overall, and I might write a review soon. I'm going to go play it now!
