Was this really THE YEAR that the new dev team finally gets it?!?!

remember all of that hype about how they recognize the problems and want to be passionate about making a great game? Well what do you say?

Graphics are a touch better, the player movements are a bit more natural and the defenses you face is are little more realistic.
This year is the best I've seen since '04 I believe.

The cons on it are the RB's fall a little easy, there are a few glitches that get annoying. Things like that gif a few posts back.

If you are looking for a game to just waste time, this is it. There's a lot of extras and I enjoy them. If not, wait a few months or buy a used copy since its a bit pricey right now.

I was disappointed in my first impression. I've found some good tips in this thread and on other forums. those help a lot along with playing around with the sliders. I've finally found settings that allow for close games and realistic stat lines.

the issues that stand out to me are...

-sometimes the CPU doesn't assess penalty yardage correctly. I recently played a game where I was facing 2nd down and 3. I got 2 yards running so, that would've have left me with 3rd and 1. I was called for holding on the same running play. The CPU accepted the penalty and I wound up with 1st and 9 to go. WTF?

-contain doesn't seem to work for the D-line. I can do it manually but, I'd rather rush while the CPU does contain.
