Multiplayer design is praised as fully built around two players, with local, online, and cooperative structure central to the experience.

Cons: narrative quality, dialogue quality

Pros: co-op experience, content variety
Cons: writing quality, narrative quality
multiplayer design was the strongest consensus positive, praised as layered, chaotic, and highly replayable.
Pros: multiplayer design, sound design
Cons: narrative quality, map and navigation design
Local co-op and versus broaden the classic formula and can be excellent with another player. The lack of proper online multiplayer is one of the most repeated missed opportunities, especially...
Pros: fun factor, remake/remaster quality
Cons: graphics quality, soundtrack quality
Connected Franchise is a popular idea but a polarizing implementation. Playing leagues with friends is appealing, yet missing CPU teams, drafts, progression, and long-term depth leave many calling it incomplete.
Pros: atmosphere, gameplay mechanics
Cons: AI behavior, commentary quality

Pros: gameplay mechanics, progression system
Cons: open-world design, AI behavior
