Some thoughts...graphics look a bit better. Last year the player motion was so jerky that I thought I was playing Genesis again (on my 360). They changed the frame rate which has helped out the player motion a ton it seems. The player faces also look a little better...the ones last year always looked like they were in constant agony or had some expression stuck permanently to their face. The recruiting features look amazing and I think this feature alone entices me to buy this...however, I am going to rent it first. I want to see if you can edit players, equipment, and class. I know this seems petty but it gets annoying when your WR is wearing a full-cage facemask and you can't change it. Not to mention, I wonder if they have different brands on the visors other than Oakley this year (NIKE's?)...also, are all the visors dark or clear? I wonder if it distorts the face to have a clear one or why they had only dark in '07. I think being able to edit the equiment to how you want it makes the game a lot better looking overall and I really, really hope those features are on it. Also, pretty disappointing on the coin toss...I really liked how they always showed the feature players beforehand and the team running on the field. The whole pan of the field is cool for the stadium but is pretty lame that they don't include the players, especially even team captains on the field.
