Once upon a time I spent some time on sports gaming. Usually I say the more Sim it is the more drab it is to play (Give me NBA Jam and Mario Super Sluggers). In the case of the EA football titles, the additions they have made over the years really do enhance the simulation experience without making for boring gameplay. They have become these adjustable titles that you can play any way you want. You want to play it with your own selcted personel and custom playbook? Want to just pick the team and the plays and watch it unfold? Perhaps you just want to just play it arcade style with a ready made team and playbook, set it on easy and chuck it long every down? Its all dooble, the games are so flexable to meet the players demands. It's actually really impressive how flexable EA has made football games. They have so much depth that a football novice could have a pretty deep understanding of the game by time they sink a season into it. I'd tell anyone that really wants to learn the game, if you have access to a console, play an EA football game, you will learn more that way than by watching it on TV.
Its not a new generation engine so its roster update year. As far as I'm concerned the custom playbook should have been available from day one. .. and its not on PC
Thank you! I finally have a suitable replacement for my lost and much lamented copy of Panzer General. I must have this to begin anew my conquest of the world!
No, really, I've been waiting for a replacement for years.
