    ESPN sometimes feel "automatic"


    I like ESPN and i enjoy watching vieos of ESPN but honestly, i don`t enjoy that much when i`m playing it.

    My main concern is that when i play ESPN i don`t feel i`m in total control of the players. for example, when i run the ball, i don`t feel i have the time to read the Hole and find the hole, is like all is too fast and the players are all over me, or worst i can win 10 yds by just running up without having to take the "right" hole.

    Also the tacklings, seems like they play all alone without me taking any control over it. How many times i did "roughing the Passes" coz i stop 2 yds away from the Qb and "MY" player made the tackle without "ME" telling him to do so.

    Sometimes i feel the whole gamplay is scripted. Don`t know, is hard to explain what i feel when i play...

    does anyone feel the same or understand what i`m feeling?

    I wish this year we get more control over the players than we did before

    If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                      but yes...to a certain extent the gameplay is scripted...


                      in the case of yardage...every two plays the ball is marked long or short...this obviously done to help the challenge system...so i guess you were right

                            Nope, not me. I think it's pretty good. Try using a custom camera and lower it and zoom in a little bit. It gets fun that way. Easier to see open receivers and follow your blocker through traffic. Try it out.
                            If you are against the EA/NFL deal sign the petition:
