Having played it for a while now on different settings with different teams, in general I'm very impressed. It's a massive improvement on the last effort. There are a few niggling little things:
The interceptions, even as MadDogg points out if you don't use long balls close to the line, there are still too many. Especially as you can rarely take advantage of making an interception yourself as the camera turns around and means you stop running, or you were pressing a tackle button so end up kicking the ball.
Too many times I find props running out on the wing or at centre, and often find centres and wingers well out of position in defence, defending in the middle of the pitch.
As El Camo says, the fend is far too effective.
It might be me being a bit rubbish but I find it very difficult to get a drop goal away even using the tactic and pass to playmaker button. Also the pass to playmaker isn't always very useful, despite having McGuire and Sinfield near the play the ball I've used the pass to playmaker button and ended up with Darrell Griffin, Ian Kirke and Kallum Watkins receiving the ball. Who aren't exactly my first choice when trying to kick my way downfield.
Customising teams isn't easy, and the limit of 14 is annoying.
Also, how do you replace the original teams with customised one in the franchise mode? Or is it not possible?
On the whole, especially considering the last effort, I think these are mostly minor issues and its a pretty good game overall
