I couldn't wait. Had to go home for lunch and play for a few minutes. Wow. Very nice. To see Corso put the Smokey head on, hearing the band fire up Rocky Top as we burst onto the field, nice graphic work. Seems like the AI for the D-backs is better (tougher) than before, which is good I guess. I also toyed with the "practice" and "passing skeleton" modes, which will help, since I've really only played Madden in the past. I'll load up my rosters tonight (fingers crossed. . . ) and start the season.
The wife is thrilled.
