Win, lose, or draw somehow someway the Dallas Cowboys will find a way to give up a huge stat line to someone on the opposing team and this week, we predict that person will be Jennings. He has been running great lately and, Fantasy-football wise, Dallas is the league’s worst at stopping the run. Josh Johnson should love this.

There’s no doubt this team is poised to be a winner for the long haul given its core of young talent, but it will need to beef up the offense to get back to the playoffs in 2014.

Wide shots are more impressive than ever before, and they complement the extremely detailed stadiums in ways you’ve never seen.

Stone is one of those players that has a nice shot, but his passing is an iffy proposition at times. The defenseman has a goal almost every other game and does get about two shots a game on the net. That may not mean much, but at the very least he is relatively effective. Stone is another one of those guys owned in 15-to-25 per cent of leagues that is a slightly risky short-term buy.

If you were thinking the name/publisher switch would result in any kind of overhaul, think again. The gameplay basics remain largely untouched with strikes, grapples and finishers all executed the same way. While that all works fine, the countering system is featured more than ever. In theory this could have been a blessing; in practice, it’s more of a curse.
