Couple more things:
Have the option to turn off replay challenges. Just get the call right. If I want realism, I'll turn the replay challenges on. If I want things right, I'll turn them off. Also, sometimes the ball is ON the goal line, and they don't say touchdown. The nose of the ball is not the location of the ball - the middle of the ball is. Fix that.
Possibly the thing that pisses me off most about the 2007 game is that facemasking is only a penalty if the ballcarrier doesn't fumble the ball. If he fumbles it, apparently, you're allowed to yank his helmet off his head and beat him to death.
Fair catches: If the ball is going to land inside the 5 yard line, and I don't want to field it, I'll call a fair catch and have the returner run away. Unfortunately, not everyone wants to run away, and someone else tries to be a hero. So I lose the ball inside the 5. Stupid. Get away from the ball!
There should be a punt return formation with 2 returners. And not just the "safe return" play, where the defense stays out there.
Have betterer reverse plays for kicks. Has anyone EVER been faked by one of those reverses?
Sometimes, when you press R2 (for PS2 - I don't know what button it is for xbox) to show you your play on defense, it'll show that your strong safety is supposed to play a zone WAY off from what he's really supposed to do. What's up with that. From what I've seen, though, he actually plays the right defense.
Either I really suck at kick-offs (very possible) or kickers are weak. Get a guy with 99 kick power, and I need the wind to help me kick out of the endzone. Someone with 99 kick power should kick out of the endzone pretty much every time, unless the wind is keeping the ball in.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. that's all for now, I think.
