yeah graphics are important to me, thats why i bought an Xbox. i couldn't even look at the first 2k on Xbox, it was gross. you're right, Fever used specularity mapping (Fever's player's arms were said to look like well oiled wrestlers'). ESPN's don't actually shimmer (but their neoprene sleeves do on cold days, have you seen that?? looks GREAT), they use normal mapping for the shadows not the highlights.

the physics thing adds a TON to the gameplay. makes every first down a nail biter. just like in real NFL, you can't just tackle the guy, you have to STOP them from getting the first. Smoot is holding on to Jamal Lewis just long enough for Barrow and Arrington to come over and push him AND Lewis sideways and back from the first down marker he was just about to reach. great constant and realistic use of modern technology.
