ABSOLUTELY! Good call with the replay! They should definitely put back full control of the replay. They used to be able to save them too so you can watch them later on or to just have to show friends and stuff.

I think they should do what they've done with Madden 08. At the end of the game they present you with highlights and the description of what happened and you choose the play that you want to view again. With fight night they could do that with knockdowns and illegal blows, etc.
