I was negligent in preordering it so I went online to grab it and I was astounded by the low reviews. I am used to everyone hating on the game (I do myself), but I was surprised to see it get a 2 star average on Amazon (a point of reference, Madden 12 got a 3.5 star average). Most people seem to be complaining about the lack of an offline franchise mode.

So has anyone gotten it yet? Is it really that bad? Is the new physics engine worth it? Should I drop my hard earned $$$ on it?
