I've enjoyed this game a lot however there are several problems which are a real pain. Firstly in Franchise mode when the computer chooses to "move franchise" they are called e.g. "Las Vegas Atomic" but have a hawk as their logo. That is a minor irritation, however the game also crashed everytime I played away to one of the new franchises.
I enjoy it and it is a must for NFL fans but it could be better.
It rocks your socks!

There are some good points and there are some bad points,
First, graphics are great, huge selection of plays and franchise is fantastic. The idea of rewinds is good.
But, the bad points are the idea of first sports game that adapts to you isn't that good, online leagues aren't as good as they make it sound and gameplay is terrible. When u are on the defence it is so boring, really hard to sack and make them fumble. They can kick nearly any yard field goal, on the offence they intercept your passes very easily and get to your quaterback very easily.
Field goals are hard and running u usually only get 2-5 yards if u go down the middle.
Me personily am going to stick with fifa 09. Much better game
