    From what I understand of this game, you still won't be "playing" a football game either with this one.

    You make decisions on the sidelines :).

    Now if that got good ratings, I'd be highly interested. I love a good strategy game.

    It got bad ratings though :-\

    I'm gonna do it. It's a free game, so why not? Grr... 2 gigs. I wish it was Jan. 3rd, and my 6 megs dsl was here, gotta download it on 1.5 megs :(

    Anyone have any familirority with EA Link and free games? It says I am entitled to 1 free download. So if my pc implodes or I get vista (nice timing BTW), I can't run it?

    Really nice timing btw. I only have vista on pentium d, but I'd much rather play games on my core 2 duo with 1920x1200 resolution. It doesn't have vista.

    i was about to get it too :-\

    I heard that the interface was bad. but it didn't get bad ratings, it got 6's which are more like "meh"
    thats cool that you got a free game, how did it happen?

    Hey, when EA offers you a free anything, take it!

    Also, I actually like football. How did you sign up for this?
