Presentation and player movement is awesome. The commentary is incredibly stiff. Sometimes Herbstreit sounds like he woke up from a scotch bender and recorded some audio with a bloody mary.
The sim logic is completely fucked. So fucked up I really can't believe they released it. Get ready to see Liberty and Tulsa dominate the playoffs in the 3rd season of your dynasty while OSU, Georgia, and Penn State are all sub .500.
Player editing for computer generated players is idiotically limited. I get they want to avoid potential litigation, but you can't change numbers or equipment but they allow you to change the names, which defeats the legal caution. You can name a player Barry Sanders but you can't take the neck roll and offensive lineman facemask off your cornerback. And if your 5 star corner is also wearing #49, you can just fuck off and ignore it because EA decided you don't get to change that for no other reason than meaningless restrictions.
No formation subs. Wow. 11 years to remove features that were the bare minimum of expectation. Want to move that reciever to the slot for just that one formation? Fuck you. You can't. Because reasons. Or no reason whatsoever. The customization options are basically zero.
