I personally love the game. After my first game, I was starting to question whether I made the right decision in buying it, but I let the game grow on me and now I love it.
Playing this game is very rewarding - you actually to work to become good, but once you get the hang of things, it's a ton of fun. I went from throwing 5 or 6 INTs per game, to now throwing 1 or 2. The physics are awesome and throwing the ball is a ton of fun (once you get the hang of it).
Anyhow, biggest complaints would be the lack of playbook depth and lack of more game options (snow, wind-speed, stadiums).
Overall, I love this game, and if patched, it could be mighty great!
