This is true. I'm still having fun playing '08 online. Sure there's issues like 30FPS, the slight lag online, and cheap plays like the option and big formation tosses, but overall, it was a really solid game. I think people were way too hard on it.

I look for '09 to make huge strides, and I don't think I'll be disappointed.

EA can produce a steaming pile of garbage and people still buy it. 2008 was really, really bad. Especially if you had been playing the PS2 version the last few years. I felt like I was mugged and the mugger got away with $60 and alot of features I really liked.

And your point is?I think about 98% of the ppl on these forums were complaining about all they want was the crap that was left out from last gen now that they put it in you bit$#$# about them highlighting it!!!Talk about ing!!!

The only thing that really scares me after looking at all the information and video available is that they seemed to really focus on the offensive side of the ball and not on D. The things I noticed that have been said are WR geting open easier, Oline opening bigger holes for easier running, Smart Routs, Formation Audibles, Better Juke Controls.... does anyone see a trend here?

I don't want this game to be a matter of who touches the ball last wins because the O is so overpowered. They have not really mentioned one improvement on D have they?

Now we haven't seen more details, so maybe I am wrong on this. But for the average gamer, what sells the game? The prospect of overpowered defenses or overpowered offenses? Not too many of the casual gamers would love to get into a 13-10 struggle, but I am sure a lot would love a 31-28 struggle. Offense is flashy and exciting, while to most, defense isn't as exciting.

That would be great, I don't expect it though, not enough complaints about it.

Online roster sharing=awesome, as long as you don't have to be on someones friends list to get the roster.

Seems that way, but I would take a high def version of that on xbox live arcade anytime.

Hope your right, but I don't want to feel like I have been pick pocketed of my 60 anymore.

Sadly it was atrocious after several games online, exhibition, and dynasty. I had to put back 07' for the xbox 1, and play with outdated rosters. I am glad you were able to enjoy it, I tried. I even put it in recently and only got through one game.
