Thanks to M$ for offering an alternative to EA's football lineup.
Fever's controls are spot-on with realistic player movements possible through button or trigger presses.
The only issues I have with gameplay are that certain linemen do not run the proper routes. but this is very minor and almost unnoticeable.
The player models, the field, stadiums, and weather are all quite beautiful.
The audio play-by-play is excellent, the stadium crowds are authentic and very specifically taunt opposing players, and the stadium music is well orchestrated.
If you love football, and can overlook the routing issue mentioned earlier, the replay value of this title is endless.
Gameplay: 8.5 - except for a few routing issues, the gameplay is flawless.
Graphics: 9.5 - one of the nicest, most beautiful football games ever made.
Sounds: 9.0 - everything is spot-on perfect, but custom soundtracks would be nice too!
Replay Value: 9.5 - Aside from the few minor routing issues, this is the game to get and play over and over again.
