It was a crime to have this sold as a full game.

I have a lot of time with this game, trying to perfect the passing game. I have a 100 focus QB, but still throw interceptions, and at this point 97% of them are not my fault. The defenders in this game are worse than Madden's, in that not only do they turn around to make catches abruptly, but they also have magnetic hands. Every single time a receiver bobbles the ball in the air, it is caught by the defense for an interception.

My stats through 17 games are 41 TDs, and 39 INTs. I complete a high number of passes but still throw 5 INTs a game because of the defense's magnetic hands. Infact the defenders have better hands than the actual receivers themselves. Aside from the interceptions there is also a high number of sacks in every game because of how weak the OL is for ANY team. The DL is overpowered in the game. I have an OL filled with gold star players yet that does nothing to stop the high number of sacks through the middle and outside, nor does it help decrease the amount of runs being stopped for negative yardage.

I seriously give up with this game, it's broken.

There is also a lack of features in this game. There are no hot routes, there are a small amount of plays and formations, no fatigue, no injuries, no progression or regression of players in Season/ Road to Backbreaker modes. Players have no personality. There's barely any banter heard from the players even though the developers aimed for an on the field experience.

There are 60 premade teams in the game, but none have any history or background, or rivalries in the game to make you care about them or the players. The fact is the game is horrible. I have been very patient with this game, and have spent a lot of time with it, but it has been all for nothing. The AI in this game are so stupid on offense, that I can still throw 10 interceptions and win the game. I can have the lead but still not have fun because of the number of sacks and interceptions by the defense. It kills the game.

Another thing about teams, they all play the same. They all have the same limited playbook and the AI plays them all the same. Even though a team may be labeled as a rushing team, they still pass alot and turn the ball over. They do not play on their strengths.

If you think online is better, it's not. Online gives the host a huge advantage and the guest receives a lot of lag. Also, players can quit and still not receive a loss. One time someone quit on me and I received a loss!

There are rumors that there will be a patch but the developers have yet to confirm that, and I don't see them releasing one because they have yet to release codes for their cheat menu thus, making it useless.

The game should have never been released this year, not in this way. This was the biggest waste of time and money.
