This game is fantastic. The graphics are every bit as good as any quality football game. The grass textures are the best of them all. The lighting and shadows are awesome and the gameplay is fast and intense. The hits are so cool you can almost feel them. The stadiums are sweet as can be. I can't believe the graphics on this game. Not one dip in framerate and it's so fast and intense. I own ESPN for realism and blitz pro for an arcadish experience. It's 11 on 11 this year. The weather effects are also top notch. It's one of the prettiest football games this year. It's not as pretty as ESPN but it eclipses Madden and Fever. Granted the players don't have real faces but everything else makes up for it. Buy it or give it a rent and see why I'm hyping this game up. It's just so good.
