In a review we don't always have time to mention all the oddities we find in a bad game. Here are a few issues we weren't able to mention:
-- The Pro-Talk feature makes coaches and refs look absolutely evil and creepy.
-- The Quarterback will occasionally take the snap without saying hike.
-- Players will cross the goal line or first down line with the ball without being awarded a touchdown or first down.
-- The crowd noise can't be shut off even during the options screen.
-- The momentum in tackles and collisions is all off.
-- Players line up in the wrong positions.
-- There are no arrows to show where offscreen players are. (It's almost impossible to catch when your player is not on the screen.)
-- The playcalling screen doesn't show yardage or first down markers.
-- Kickers can actually outrun their entire team to make the tackles on kickoffs
