And they played for the NFC Championship.

Why not Packers vs Eagles

It was a much better game and was a score away from going the other way.

I'd say it was a much better matchup

It was a much better game? The Bears played the Packers better than everyone except the Steelers.

If the gameplay is on par with NCAA, I'll be a happy camper.

That's pretty much false. There was never a doubt on who was winning the Packers/Bears game in the NFC championship. I think most neutral fans would agree. The Packers/Eagles game? Not so much, plenty of doubt...I thought the Packers were toast honestly but Vick messed up and they capitalized on his mistake.

That said, Bears vs. Packers makes much more sense for this demo than Packers vs. Eagles. Long time rivals, rematch of NFC Championship game, etc, makes perfect sense to me.

Totally agree. As a Packers fan, the Eagles game scared me the most, even more than the Falcons game and definitely more than the Bears game.

the demo will decide if i buy this or not. I got Ncaa and was stoked but yet if you use a passing offense then it sucks, because the WR just run around like idiots and let the ball hit them and they dont even attempt to catch the ball, and i also if super jumping LB and lineman are in this like ncaa it wont be a buy for me.

Looking forward to the game though.

Gus isn't the issue, it's the game's commentary engine, thankfully they are fixing this next year with the new commentary engine. Here's an example of how good commentary could be with Gus.
