The potential replay value for the game is enormous. Of course, until ESPN has had a full season under its belt, the jurys out as to whether first-person view is major revolution or a nifty diversion...but its very cool.

A near-flawless gameplay experience that not only rivals "Madden" and "Fever" but storms past these two former contenders and into the end zone for a clear and decisive victory.
-
A superb football game. The graphics and level of realism are just unbelievable, although the Xbox version is a hair better and framerates seem a tad smoother.
