Usually guys who fit that criteria are not All-Americans in high school. They don't get scholarships to schools like Miami and earn Freshmen All-American honors, followed by 1st Team All-American recognition in their remaining years of college. They also don't get drafted in the first round by an NFL team.

That's just beyond stupid and irked me the first time I fired up the game.
He was not always that big. No matter who you are, how good you are, you WILL always hear critics saying you are not good enough.

Three GMs passed on him at LB because they said he was too small and would never play in a 3-4. So at least three executives for NFL teams thought that. They weren't saying he wasnt too small to play the game just that he would never be one of the better players. Some of the same things were about Luke Kuechly this year, not in any way shape or form comparing him to Ray Lewis but pointing out that some GMs said he was the best linebacker in recent history in the draft and some said he was too small and slow to even play in the NFL.

Pretty good, i still think this years MLB the Show has the best intro i've seen. It sets up the last day of the regular season last year, where Boston was ahead of Tampa Bay and St. Louis was trailing Atlanta. Then it shows you the highlights jumping from game to game the way it was playing out. Watching the craziness that was the last day of the regular season and how Tampa Bay came back from such a huge deficit to the Yankees and tie the game, then cut to Baltimore as they get the winning run, then the stage is set for the walk off home run.

It was well done and is exciting to watch every time.
