    There are a ton of new options that have been added in too, from intimidating to sharing the draft, friendships and rivalries, and overall the game seems much more realistic than any previous version.

    As it stands, the depth and longevity of the Race to the Top mode and the excellent play mechanics all add to the overall value of this game.

    This game is a big step up in visuals compared to the Thunder series of old, which gives even more hope for future titles to come.
