So, so much fun. Allocating experience points and building up your roster in a strategic manner based on your team character types reveals surprising depth, as does earning offensive and defensive formations and plays to expand your playbook. There's great diversity in the playing surfaces and unique strategy to employ at each venue. I love that you can be hopelessly behind on the scoreboard and shift strategies to try and make the opposition forfeit. The drawbacks are minor: the commentary is a bit much for me, there are small glitches such as burn returner statistics not being recorded correctly, and of course, there's the glaring absence of the Bengals. Minor quibbles aside, this is a faithful update of a classic with new features galore, and an absolute steal at the price.
