- Game feels different than last year, it feels like you have more control of your players.

- Run game is not that effective as last year. I remember people picking Ricky Williams and being able to run the ball down your throat, even if you knew it was coming. This year, you can call an audible (L1) then press R1 and you can pick what kind of play you THINK your opponent picked (run, pass, trick, etc).

- Seems to be more turnovers, which IMO is a good thing because the game doesn't hang on ONE missed opportunity like last year.

- The side games are enough IMO to buy the game. Played a couple with RAC and they were fun, but after we played two regular games I think it completes the game and makes it very enjoyable.

- The config is about the same as last year, with no option to switch them. I know a lot of people didn't like that about last year's game, but it doesn't really bother me.

- Overall, so far the game is improved from last year---I always have people over and playing Madden just isn't time friendly when you have 5 or 6 people over. This game is quicker and with the side games it would be the perfect game for that enviornment.

More to come later.......

It seems like online you can only play with two people, but we haven't had a third person online to see for sure.
