Being able to overcome the other team's defense by easily jumping over opposition or even pulling off aerial moves is fun, but they feel a little gimmicky after a while. Beyond that, you're playing a football game, with all of the good and bad that brings. That said, the reason that the game is so easy to play is because it's been done twice before, and this time around doesn't offer much new.
