A few great random moments worth remembering but those are the only moments.

The game just isn't there, it has some great moments but most of the time its a D- football game. Passing is terrible, nearly no skill or control. Running is 'fine' but it looks terrible.

Theres no sense of....well anything really. The camera, while enjoyable, takes you away from the grand scheme of things and makes the game feel shallow and empty. If they added some variation and maybe made penalties WORK this might have been a game worth purchasing.

Remove the camera issues, the gumby type feeling with controls, the terrible and oftenly frustrating 'flow' of the game and you still have a football game with the worst AI I have ever seen. Constantly blocks are missed that shouldn't be, blockers will drop their assignment randomly, players will collapse if they bounce off a blocker, and the computer even on the hardest difficulty is too easy to exploit.

I wanted this game to be amazing, something that would make EA think twice before recycling the same madden experience since 2004. Sadly what this game does right (physic based gameplay) is totally over shadowed by the glaring downsides that is the rest of the game.
