Playing in The League is their dream but they've paid the price. Their arms ache from weight-room reps and painkillers are blurring their vision. The dirty hits they've laid on QBs are career-enders but they also keep them employed. Two more sacks and they get their bonus, paying for their fast cars and faster lifestyle. Its 4th and 3 and they are up by 7. This thrilling game offers realistic, gruesome on-field injuries such as bones crushing and career ending injuries that might involve excessive amounts of blood. An intriguing story mode that also explores the off-field problems and front office politics make this game even more appealing. Players can experience a "get in the zone" mode where on-field action slows, allowing for amazing moves otherwise almost impossible to accomplish. Stuff the offense, beat their opponents bloody and win at any cost.
