Yes and no. When you put the game in Taylor is not on the team. When you go online to play and download the roster then a lot of things get fixed. For starters Farve on the Jets, Taylor on the Skins, and Reed playing SS not FS.
I decided to take the plunge this year as I had never owned or really played a 360 version of the game and was pretty discouraged a few years ago watching the Madden Challenge where the players were establishing a running game by using their starting RB at FB not to mention the contestants acting like total douchebags.
I was even happier to see that the game is more like an updated version of NFL2K5. Who knows, when I get caught up to speed I might end up playing some of you guys.
Some other notes
- The ratings are bullshit Colt Brennan should be 100 in everything except in name coolness where he gets 101
- The announcers are definately a step up from the radio guy that I was somewhat familiar with but they're still annoying from time to time. However the analysis and play breakdowns are really cool.
- Apparently a lot has changed on the next generation, DB's don't have eyes in the back of their heads and if I anticipate and time a pass properly the pass will be completed.
- The rewind system is awesome when you're learning the game. The chance to retry a play after you mess up really seems like it will help with my learning curve. Good thing it's not available on online mode though.
- I wish that it was a little easier to select plays. It's cool that they have a great interface that allows you to sort plays in different ways but it's a little slow sometimes.
- Maybe I'm one of the 3 people that care but I wish they had more players availble. For example from the Redskins prospective I wish that we had Matt Sinclair, Kareem Moore, and Marcus Mason. I know they're fringe roster players but they should at least be in the game.
- The fact that the rocket catch is still there kind of scares me and I feel like I have to learn it again if I'm going to compete online. Apparently though its a lot harder to complete this time around.
