“I wanted to like this game, I really did. But it makes it so hard to recommend it. The gameplay is bad, not terrible, but bad. The Physics laughable and AI a joke. And no, I'm not comparing it to Madden, I'm comparing it to Front Page…”

“Games that do not work as advertised simply aren't for me. One of the main reasons I bought this game was the promise of customization. This is not a game for customization unless you are skilled at many different aspects of computing !…”
