I recently purchased and this game is a lot of fun! What a great concept, one that I'll continue to support for a long time. The modding system is amazing. I made my high school team very easily.
One thing I've noticed though is that the difficulty seems to be on the low end. I played a game on Hall of Fame level and I won 27-23 on a score in the last 30 seconds. That said, the only part that felt challenging was stopping them on defense. On offense, I was able to pass all over the place and I ran very easily to 183 yards with big Ed Lacy. Granted, I was the Packers and they are the greatest team in the world
but it was vs. the Vikings who have a good defense. Yet, I normally suck at football sims and thus I felt it was too easy that whenever I needed a first down, I'd just run a sweep or pitch with Eddie Lacy and it was a guaranteed 12 yards or more, and passes were being completed very easily in triple coverage.
I'd love to see the AI cranked up or a better difficulty setting, as well as the ability for defenders to jump/swat at the ball. Thoughts?
As a side note, I know this game is moving from arcade to sim, but I'd love to see the arcade mode kept as another option since sometimes that NFL Blitz type play is refreshing and fun.
So stoked for this game!
