Oh God yes. The best thing is I don't WANT to be done. Even after I finish finding everything, I doubt I'll stop playing. It's just too much fun.

i developed a system. you can keep trading down one spot in the draft (first round) and net a third rounder. then trade three thirds for a late first then trade the firsts for pretty much anything.

i expected more, ea swindled me again.

Hmm, that would be handy except that I'm finally happy enough with my team that I'm going for the Super Bowl this season. I tanked the 2010 season in order to get the first pick, and by draft time the CB I had my eyes on had slipped out of the first round entirely and I had to pick another QB who is likely to be better than Stafford next season, albeit much more expensive already. I've also got a backup second-year RB who's already almost as good as Steven Jackson. I'll let them develop a year and hope I can swing a trade for Calvin Johnson or a great young DT, LB, or FS. I like my team, but I've got some starters who are basically practice squad quality.

EDIT: After winning the Super Bowl, I decided to exploit this for a while and ended up trading the first overall pick for the 3rd, 7th, 19th, and 20th, then traded the 3rd, 19th, and Steven Jackson for Adrian Peterson, still landing a future star CB who returned his first ever punt for a TD at 7th overall. As much fun as Adrian Peterson is, my backup is faster and even better at breaking tackles. This is going to get boring eventually, but I'm enjoying it for now.

Such a good game. Hmmm, I might have to speed run a few levels. I don't want you beating my times.

We should play some co-op.

Hmm, when I went up 111-0 a message popped up: "Please stop scoring, you're going to break the game."

I think maybe I should adjust the difficulty after I finish my current season.

Yes. I'm level 25 and just finished the Broken Steel missions (blew up the mobile satellite thing). I'm running out of things to do, but it's still a really fun game to play. I'm like 53 hours played time in.
