EA Team, my perspective is a bit different, so humor me for a moment...
I would love to be able to enjoy the 'Road To Glory' (NCAA) and 'Superstar' (Madden) modes, but I won't be able to truely immerse myself in either of these modes until your team really commits to the role-playing experience from a sports-gaming perspective...I'm thinking Fallout 3 with a football .
Every year I give both of these modes a legitimate shot of winning me over, and ever year I get the feeling that the design team is dipping their toe in the water, but are afraid to dive in when it comes to turning these modes into full-fledged role-playing games. If I'm going to play the role of a wide-reciever from Los Angeles, who finaly gets to fullfil his dream of playing for Stanford and leading them to a PAC-10 championship, I believe the game should portray the emotional ups-&-downs and the relationships that form and break over the course of such a story.
I play sports-games because I like to simulate competition, I play RPG's because I like to simulate character developement...I often think of how great it would be to have a game (or mode) that combined the strengths of those two genres and created an experience that would provide lasting memories.
Yes, it would take another level of commitment to make this mode into a respectable football-RPG. Yes, the "hardcore" sports-gaming community would be in an uproar if you spent more time on the mode. But if you're going to have a mode where the gamer assumes a fictional role, I think it would be inredibly beneficial to follow in the footsteps of successful role-playing-games that have captured the hearts of gamers for decades.

I agree with this post in every aspect...it will be fun to see how the reports change in RTG with different levels of players, positions, teams etc.
But I also agree with everybody else who feels shafted that they put this much work in presentation for RTG and not dynasty. I play both modes a ton, and am excited to see how RTG shakes up this year...unfortunately not so much for dynasty tho...i'll probably buy this game used now, instead of not at all.
