With its Connected Careers mode fusing player and coach paths, this edition of EA Sports' NFL simulation settles in for the long haul, season after season. Drafts, franchise management and online challenges keep raising the stakes, and the replay value rests as much on the sport itself as on the depth of its modes. An annual pillar that American football fans stretch out for months.
