Just picked this game up myself. Its definitely got a bit of a learning curve, but I'm glad that most of the stats seem to be pulled essentially from the same sort of logic as Madden, keeps it a LITTLE less intimidating. Decided for fun to use the real NFL mod, but to keep it so that its a scramble, every team starting with no players, just to see who ends up where and what sort of wacky end results I get. Should be fun.
