I noticed how slow it was as well. I didn't know what to think of the new discipline system though. It didn't make sense to need points to suspend players. I figured it would be the other way around where you need points to wine and dine the athletic director to loosen the penalties. You know, maybe 25 points to take him to a strip club. Now that would be serious serious football
.
I did kinda like the crowd noise thing for awhile...then it got a little annoying. Especially if you're not the home team.
I also noticed how hard it is to pass. It seems more like 2003 than last years to me.
Last, it seemed too hard again to defend the pass (mainly against the cpu). I thought last year's got way better about this, but it seems to have reverted back to being pretty tough. Maybe I just need to get used to the speed thing.
Most of that is nitpicking...other than it being kind of slow.
