I'm somewhat tempted by both games this year (the cheaper one's a lock) but I've come to the conclusion that sports games are simply not worth reading reviews for. They've been horrid for both baseball and football (the only other two I care about) this year. At nearly every single source. It's really a matter of holding out and seeing what sort of bugs come out in a day or two at message boards, because rest assured the reviewers of these games NEVER find them.
