This is nearly a perfect football game, they actually improved over the first installment which I didn't think possible.  You now have 16 plays on offense (only 8 at a time on screen), There are more long running plays and passing is more challenging.  The QBs can't throw tacklers off as easily either, which leads to more sacks by non-human controlled players.  They added trades, free agents and Carolina/Jacksonville.  Overall this may be the best football game ever.
