The Bottom Line:

"Disastrous"

I sat down to play this game with my brother. He picked the Redskins. I picked the 49ers. First play. Interception. Brother runs it back for a touchdown. We think "Wow, this game is so cool!" Then, next play. I intercept his first pass. Return for a touch. Next play, interception. NEXT PLAY....interception. The passing is SCREWED up. EVERY pass is an interception. The defensive safety will beat the offense EVERY time in man to man coverage and the ball drops perfectly into their hands. The game is unplayable, unless you run. The run is messed up as well. I averaged 18 yards a carry with Frank Gore. Really? Finished the game 1/19, 17 interceptions. THAT IS RIDICULOUS! My brother did almost the same. Think he threw 14. I won the game because I ran back five of those. The thing is...you better get used to this. It happens EVERY game....with EVERY team. Aaron Rodgers will get picked 15+ times by a rookie on the Panthers. You name it. I read a few reviews about people saying the pass game is wrong. Some say it is like real life. When is the last time Rodgers threw 15 interceptions? WHICH SEASON did Rodgers throw 15 picks? It doesn't happen.

Enough with that. The graphics are ok. The movement is fail. Completely. You run into your own guy, and you FALL. Like a marble in water. You go down right there. The game is so messed up, when the referee calls holding on offense, he points to the defense. Does it on false starts also. The commentary is repetitive. Reminds me of NFL2k on the Sega Dreamcast. The difference....NFL2k on the Cast was BETTER! The game...there is nothing more I can say except this is the first year for the "new revolutionary hit system." It needs a "new revolutionary hit system" AGAIN with a total overhaul of the interceptions. I have seen 27 interceptions in a SINGLE game thrown by RG3. REALLY? COME ON!!!! Save your money, or pick up Madden 12. This one lost fantasy draft, and lots of other things that make it totally SUCK.
