    I've got my copy, glanced through the manual. I didnt play 2k4, so a lot of these features will be new to me. They all sound really cool. I wonder how well the one that tracks & saves an opponent's play style so you can practice/play against it later works?

    I could abuse my bro using that feature.

    Panthers players are rated pretty close to how I would rate them, other than a couple exceptions. They don't have Colbert as high as I would have him, our TEs suck, but we pretty much knew that anyway. Nelson is listed as a Guard, and depth charts are kinda funky, you can only put a guard as a backup guard, unlike madden where you can put anyone anywhere. Although you can substitute anyone into any position in a formation using a custom playbook or subbing by formation once you're in a game. The weekly prep feature is micromanagement to the hilt, it's a pain to set up, I'm only on Tuesday of the first week, I gave the guys half a day off. Thankfully your prep settings save from week to week and you can just put a check mark by them to have the team do that task, but setting them all up initially is a major pain. I made everyone watch film monday, and had a coach meeting where I "challenged" the team. It's very cool so far, I lost my first play now game to San Diego 13-7 on all-pro difficulty. I was able to move the ball, but sacks and turnovers killed me. Gonna take a while to get used to it after playing Madden since 92. The ESPN presentation is incredible, all the stats and overlays of a real sunday night game. BoA stadium at night looks unreal, you can see the skyline and everything.
