Worthless

Graphically this game is on par with a Genesis football game, not that I recall there being one but it has the same quality as a bad Genesis game.
Campaign is annoyingly stupid, it's start with a video, that moves on to a question and answer period, followed by a complete design of your team. After 15-20 minutes of asking where the game is you can finally move on to a menu. Once you finally get to the game this is where it really sinks really fast.
The camera does not flip around so your going up or down, which is only mildly annoying. The play selection is confusing and way to small to be of any worth unless your maybe 6 inches from the screen, which is fine and dandy on a PC, on a console it's one step above worthless.
Which wouldn't be so bad except for the controls, or lack thereof. It starts off fine, A to hike, the different buttons to pass to that receiver, left stick to move. Which also is where the major problem comes from, the right stick evades, if your incredibly lucky and it actually recognizes that your trying to do so and that it actually does evade or try to at any rate. I had to stop doing the training camp because of that evade, doesn't work. When you have the ball, you can power move, think stiff arm with A and evade differently with B, which only works when you actually see the guy coming, if you don't see him or don't do it at the right time before he gets close, you do neither.
Because of the lack of controls, the only viable option for getting positive yards on offense is passing, because the computer is facing the same lack of controls it works quite easily. Kickoffs are a button mash of the indicated button, that you can see for a quarter of a second, with no warning on it starting it just does.
I am surprised to say this POS makes an EA game look good, it's not even coaster worthy, if you bought it all I can say is I hope there is someone on Ebay dumber. First was fun at least.
