Just got done starting my dynasty (with Colorado) and played 5 games into the first season.
The Positives- The passing is more forgiving and your receivers actually catch the balls that hit them in the hands. No more dropped balls and having passing stats of 8 for 20 for 200 yards. You can actually have nice stats of say 13 for 20. You get the point. Also the 360 shines. Stadiums look even better, the crowd is more fluid and not blockish and paperish. Also you will have more interceptions thrown and caught if you pass into coverage, and your conerbacks are way more smarter.
Negatives- Play calling seems to be exactly the same as the year before. No players running out of tunnels at the beginning of the games like last year. The hail mary plays seem to still work on a regular basis despite what I said about the conerbacks, so when playing a 12 year old (like my son) they hail mary all game long..which is annoying. Also I cannot find the Heisman race or all the other trophy races like in last years game, and while you can be ranked there is no viewing the total polls (again it may be there but I am not seeing it.) There is no create a player like last year. So there is no way to create a QB and watch him flourish through his college career..no newspaper clippings like last year either.
As you can see the negatives are outweighing the positives. Although they improved on the passing game (the one glaring huge flaw of last years game) they cut out all of the little intricacies (sp?) that made last years game so special. I actually think they fell back a step this year. A solid 7.5 out of 10.

Wow..no one has this yet?

I'm going to rent it. I was really disappointed by the demo on XBL
-
The mini games are pretty fun.
I like the physics of the tackling. Much better than Madden. Much better Dline penetration than Madden. The receivers also start heading up field once they catch the ball. What a concept. Its fun. I might buy it. -
i hate sports games

Well isn't that special.

Anyone else notice that a turnover almost automatically leads to a return for a TD? Hasn't happened against me, but its completely not in sync with reality. There's a long list of stuff that annoys me with this game. I'll finish a season with teh dynasty, sell it, and get Madden on the 22nd.Brian Knauss

That hasn't been the case with me. All turnovers in my game, except one, pretty much just stop at the point of the TO.
But yeah, I'll be getting Madden also. -
Yeah I do not notice the T.O. thing either...unless you are playing on the JV level then everything you do is a TD.
