You can hot route, shift line/LBs, change DB coverage. It's all there. The playcalling screen is new as well and quite innovative, I thought.

This essentially seems like the game for guys who enjoy sim quite a bit, which describes me. But you also get the in-game stuff too, being able to adjust your team play by play if you want as well as implimenting game-long strategy and tactics. The only thing you don't do is control the players during the play, but usually 2-3 years into a franchise I'm outplaying the CPU when playing manually, so having the CPU control your team but with your own strategy and tactic settings could be fresh.

So I'll probably check it out, though that's a pretty raw deal that they don't have updated players.

Great points nick, Thats alot of stuff and not even all the stuff you can do in the game. I'm guessing there will be a Roster update soon for it. Let me check, yep on Xbox Live they have an Updated Roster, everyone except our Draft Picks are on it!
