| I played the demo today and thought it was very good and pretty realistic. I also thought the graphics on it were very good. Only thing, as mentioned before, is it is very easy to pass the ball against the CPU. |

| Played the demo and was very unimpressed. Why do they keep doing this crap. I really don't need an hour of screenshots with cheerleaders and mascots. I'm honestly thinking about not buying it this year, and that's something I haven't done since 97 | |

The player models and graphics look great but after they solve a problem they just find new problems to replace those. If my friends think online dynasty is worth buying it then I will. Otherwise I will prob pass. | |

I just wish I could actually juke someone with the stutter steps. They do nothing for me. Half the time I don't know what it is going to do. | |

| My biggest disappointment of the 08 was when you recruited players they looked like they played back in the 70's
Example: LB, with a half bar face mask, Bulky pad on neck, team color elbow pads, team color wrist sweatbands and taped hands. Looks terrible, I really hope they worked on making the recruits look more like up to date football players instead of this...  | |

I agree, the first thing I did once I completed all the post-season stuff was edit all my recruits. To me, recruiting is half the fun.

Otherwise I will prob pass. | Pass defense you should try pass committing (push up quickly on the right thumb stick) almost exactly after the pass. This will make your DL go directly to the QB putting on more pressure and making the DBs cover better. I agree pass D is too weak in this game. I guess in fixing the INT problem in last years game they overcompensated... shock...
Also found out that screen passes are WAYYYYYYYYY too cheap. Although it looks more realistic you are almost guaranteed 8 yards to a td. Running consistency is a problem also, i agree. | |
