I think that kinda defeats the whole purpose of a sports strategy game. Especially since your not really part of the action. I want to feel satisfaction in winning and not just win cause the game is too easy. I can see the game getting very boring quickly cause your just going through the motions and your really not challenged at all.

IMO, there is no point to playing it.

Its a bad game, a very very bad game.

I don't find anything at all easy about the game console or PC its the most challeging aspect to Football to date if you actually take into account the realistic preparations that a real Head Coach and Staff members go thru.

Its real enough and has no crappy bling bling to it just strategy for guys like me who want more then eye candy and play cribs for bling bling toys, its a real "Thinking Mans" game and not for the impatient and casual fan but more for the guy who really wants to test his hand at the closest we're gonna get as far as what goes on behind the scenes in preparing a NFL team for the weekly grind and game time preparations that lead to those Sunday afternoon battles on the Gridiron....oh this is the console version I'm speaking about the PC version is pure classic with the mods going on with it and its hardly a walk in the part its strategic Football at its finest and can only get better once the bugs are worked out, IMO EA has found something special with this title and has found an audience that does appreciate the efforts they've put fourth....its not for everyone and is challeging for the most part its what coachs do and now I have a greater appreciation for what they do and go thru week in and week out...this is what they do bro....Coach and prepare over and over again in order to perform on those precious Sunday afternoons while the fans enjoy the fruits of their labor, the game is far from boring and as real as you make it but again coachings not for everyone only a few are really great Head coachs and it shows on Gameday!

Maybe you should try Chess and see how that fits your challenge for strategy but be sure you find an opponent who knows the game.







Holla Back ya'll

I like the PC games, because of the mods. I like the boxscore the mod spits out, and the ability to get a screenshot with the touch of a button.

I do not believe there is a difficulty control for the non-PC versions.
