Title: Not as good as the older editions
Product review: Graphics are good and the animation is smooth. However, not much else is positive for this game. I'm not a big fan of the playcalling menus. Too hard to tell what's going on from the play illustration, especially on the defensive side. I also don't like how you can't pan out to see the receivers when you are controlling an LB or DB on defense like you could in the old Dreamcast versions. This makes it virtually impossible to play a corner and difficult to play an OLB in coverage. Also annoying is the vertical leraning curve between walk-on and starter difficulty. It is easy to win 80-0 in walk-on, and then play the same team in starter and lose 20-7. From what I can tell, all raising the difficulty does is make your receivers drop every pass coming their way if there is a defender within 5 yds, while not affecting the computer at all. This game is a real disappointment, as I love the older Dreamcast editions.
