I put you on the list. Let me know if you want off (doesn't really matter... but if you do let me know).

I just had a legendary game. I just won 3-2 using PIT against an Eagles user. He dominated the game. I had 1 sliding user INT at the 1 yard line with Carnell Lake in the first half. In the 2nd half he misses a FG from about 40 yards out. In the 4th quarter he throws a pass over the middle on 4th and 9 to his wide open TE who DROPS IT!

I had my fair share of bad breaks. His safety was a sick user outside manual rush that nailed me with a NASTY slide.

He was a good player... ranked just below me at the 24 slot on the leaderboards. It was a classic game that had me constantly just saying "wow"! For some reason, I always have these legendary games in Tecmo. I don't know how they ever made this simple game so compelling, but they did.

I've only played 2 games online so far, and won both: a 39-0 drubbing last night and a 20-0 win tonight.

Had an epic goal-line stand in the game tonight: guy got to the 1 on me right away in the 4th quarter. My shutout streak was on the line. Tried a dive up the middle...stuffed. Tried a sweep up top...jammed. Tried a QB draw (I always take #37 Nate Odomes on Buffalo)...stuffed. 4th and goal from the 1. He lines up with split backs. I'm feeling sweep low (even though I picked his dive play) as it's been his only successful running play all night. So, I don't take Odomes...it pick the low outside backer to take away the sweep. He called the sweep, I force him back inside, and Bruce Smith and Cornelius Bennett clean him up at the 1.

I feel like a freshman in HS again!! Football is quick and fun again!!

Maybe I'm nuts or something, but I'm so tired of Madden that I actually have more fun playing this game.
Couple of minor complaints though. How come you don't switch sides after each quarter? Even the retro
games did that. And I understand they wanted to maintain the same look and feel, but why not have
better animations? I mean the PS3 and 360 have so much power to spare, that realistic running, blocking,
and tackling animations would be so cool. Lastly, screw EA Sports and their exclusive. This game needs
the real NFL teams and players - that was a big factor in making the SNES versions as great as they were.
Anyone else agree?

With USB support now....is there a way to share the rosters?

I think that's just called 'lower expectations'.
