Smoother: No contest, NCAA.

Animations: APF, signature styles and some of the branch animations look unreal. Plus, the sideline interaction is insane.

hey nivek have you tried the reach tackle on a qb yet?

are there any new animations for qb evade?

is the right juke stick just like it was in 2k5? like will i be able to do a fireball motion on the stick and get a combo of moves?

are there at least some new dline moves?
thanks man.

Here's the thing about the DB's...it all depends of the type of DB you have. For instance, if it's a GOLD DB then yes, they'll hunt your *** down. Same goes for the Silver and to a lesser extent, bronze. Default DB's however are a different story. If you choose to have DB's who specialize in pass coverage, they'll react REALLY late to a QB scrambling as they're pretty bad at run support awareness. However, run support DB's can get there just as fast as Bronze DB's.

You can have defensive type matches, I haven't scored more then 28 points in my three games.

You'll hate APF 2k8 as well...I've seen some nasty *** DB swat animations that took me out of the play completely. I was really pissed off about this, what makes it worse is that it's not a branch animation so as soon as you press the right bumper to swat, you're f*cked. Same goes for pressing Y for the pick.

****...thats not what I wanted to hear. Does the Auto-Strafing have anything to do with that?

I dunno, I didn't like auto strafing so I turned it off. I found that it took me out of position more then anything, I usually play with the MLB manually.
