[Da Birthday Boy]

The Good

1. WR/CB animations seem smooth and effective, maybe in the future see more stutter steps and fakes.
2. The announcers do a good job and didn't make many mistakes with the calls.
3. The tackling of/and breaking out of seems a lot more effective and smooth.
4. The player models look good.
5. The stat overlays and starting lineups are a big improvement.
6. The turnovers seem more realistic now.
7. The guy with the gun got fired, so the receivers don't get nervous anymore.
8. Ian lost.

The Bad

1. Didn't see too many penalties called, could be good or bad, maybe Earl was on break.
2. No auto-replays on big plays.
3. The commentary on touchdowns didn't have a big impact.
4. The crowd reaction was dead, and even cheered when a Vikings player got hit.
5. No more coach cut-scenes, big screen graphics, or any other cut-scenes.
6. Pre-game, halftime, and post game "shows" do nothing.
