Well you get an A for effort, but lets look into details on this

Slower Game Play (Check)
No More Rocket Catch (Check)
Solution to 40 Second Play Clock on 5 Minute games (Check)
Fixed Running Animation (Checked)
Wider Field (Check)
No More Invincible Scrambling QB, Must set feet for Deep Throws (Check)
Defense can't cover the whole field in short zones, Slowed down reaction to realism (Check)

So whats the biggest problem right now? Balancing all these fixes out,

2 Biggest Problems I have

Not being able to shade inside and out on man coverage, and man coverage locking up receives in press (Fitz & Blodin) for over 3 plus seconds...

Press Coverage needs to be fixed...

Second thing is the receivers not exploding out of their stance, The DE's and DT's are getting in faster then the WR are running there routes which should be reversed.

But its only the demo, I have faith they will get it right. Presentation is unbelievable and this is looking to be the greatest Madden of all time.

I just want to take this time to congratulate EA Sports for selling the same game 3 years in a row!!! Amazing, I've now spent $180 on the same game, all thats different is the rosters!

Ok, They added user catching in 09 and took it out in 10. Not worth $60.

Ok, Teambuilder, big deal... This idea has been wanted since NCAA 2004. Thanks for taking 6 years.

Fact of the matter is, they have done absolutely nothing with the gameplay. It's exactly the same for 3 years running now. Yes they add like 2 features but that doesn't effect what they should be doing with animations and gameplay. They graphics and player models have not changed AT ALL.

Why you ask? Because of the exclusiveness we are forced to buy this garbage instead of have an alternative choice such as NCAA 2K or Gamebreaker

NCAA 10

2 out of 10

I've posted a few blogs on my bowling game, and today I reached my summer goal of bowling over a 200!

Few things that were drastic changes,

1. BOUGHT MY OWN BALL, I was using one that was given to me that weighed 15.8 close to 16 pounds. I bought a 14 pound ball (Burn) and its been night and day since. Especially since the ball is fit for my hand.

2. Finger tipping, before I was thumbing it alot. It wasn't till I got my new ball that I couldn't even get my thumb out of the whole when I went through my swing. After adjust I started getting alot more control and alot more spin!

3. Breaking my wrist down at end of release and following through, big for me, I wasn't getting the right kind of spin till I started practicing to throw my ball this way.

4. 5 Step Approach, I just started doing this today! My first game I bowled a 130 using the 5 step approached and it felt really good. So I continued to practice the approach and I bowled 156, 161, 180 and finally after really getting use to my new technique, 207!!!

And I left a frame open where I BARELY missed my spar, if I would of made that my score would of been 219!

Ill let you know when I hit 300 ;)
