Thanks for the link, that looks incredible!! I'm an old fan of the Front Page Sports: FBpro series on the PC, and this looks like it may be the new version of that. In-depth off season stuff is where it's at. So in november of your season, you'll start seeing Mel Kiper spring up and talk about the draft? AWESOME!! You can micromanage teams down to which player watches which kind of film? AWESOME!!

Now if they have a decent play engine and a powerful play editor like the old FBPRO series, this may be the best football game ever. Thank God too, because Madden is beginning to get stagnant and EA needs some competition.

Thanks for the link and the head's up!
