it's a shame because it looks beautiful, and that fluidity of motion leads to a lot of fun moments and realistic looking maneuvers. But the calculations and algorithms going on in the background all seem designed to frustrate the hell out of me, and I feel like I've gotten more "your opponent has left the match / disconnected" notices than ever before, many of them coming in the first or second quarter in a two point game leading me to believe it's the servers not the players.


And offline is just...fucking disgusting. Saves tied to the servers being online (if either PSN goes down for maintenance or the 2K servers are having their monthly meltdown, your MyGM save is inaccessible!), Virtual Currency all up in every last crevice of everything, and these fucking MENUS my GOD. I feel like I stumbled into a session of Madden 2002 or something every time I boot the game.
