Nfl?

So is there going to be another update for keeping the nfl teams? In between the last 2 updates, all the nfl teams were available and now they are not. Pretty cruel trick to give that to us, then take it away. Holding out hope that the next update keeps it, otherwise, i’ll be pretty bummed out

I love but no NFL team

I really love this game, but Brett didn’t return nor the other NFL teams

Great game

Love the game, the controls really should be worked on. Kinda dumb

FIX THIS

I played this game for the first time. I thought it’d be fun but now I’m picking some of the best players and they can’t even intercept a football every time they throw it I’m fully guarding them and it does not get intercepted and it’s one of my best players but then when I get sacked, it’s always a fumble also one of the best quarterbacks and but every time they get sacked, it doesn’t get fumbled
