5 stars (bomb-digity!!!!!!!!!) - this game rocks your football playin socks!!!!!!i havent seen a foot ball game this good since last years espn 2k5 super star mode is awsome and the new cone feature is ok....its hard to get used to but you can turn it off if your to of a sissy to play a challenging game so get this game now!!!!!wat are you doing go buy it!!!!! 1 stars (its NOT in the game!
