i don't get all the complaints about this game. it's really great for what it does. if you find it too challenging, just keep practicing. it gets MUCH easier. Tip: Back shoulder throws to your star receiver work about 99% of the time (virtually guaranteed an 8-10 yard gain on any play). for DEV - would love an "Acheivement" of 1000 yard rusher. Just played a season trying for that and barely got it in the last game.
also, for the dev, unlike everyone else apparently, i really like the new changes. The inability to change plays makes me have to adjust to the coverage/blitz. also makes kicking extra point relevant (plus kicking accuracy seems harder now). I also like the new achievements - gives me some challenging goals. I liked the game before the changes; like it even more now.
