"IGN 9.0 Amazing" "GameTrailers.com 8.2"
I guess gamespot just woke up on the wrong side of the bed, slipped and fell down two flights of stairs before going to work.

the review i agree the most with is GT's review. I think IGN is crazy to give it a 9 and I found myself agreeing with Gamespot's review alot. It's the same game every year. I guess it's a lot to ask for since it was their first year with the tackling engine. presentation still isnt up to NFL 2k5's standards and as GT said, connected careers is still just superstar and franchise in one mode with long overdue improvements. The xp's "get it right or NO xp" (MLB The Show I think perfectly balanced their xp system) hurts player development. It's about time they updated their career mode though. Gameplay is hit and miss. Hell, I agree more with Gamespot than IGN. I don't know what game IGN played.

Hopefully the NFL sees staright through this 1 year decent game, and looked what happened since 2k5 was released, several years or no progress what so ever, and a couple changes that never lasted more than a year and bunches of promises that were never kept and give 2K a shot again.Or do a 2-3 year competition and whoever has the higher overall ratings, not sales bc 2K wouldnt stand a chance, and look at the quality of the games, then give whoever wins a 3-4 year exclusivity contract and see what they do with it.
