Im digging those impressions so far . Only thing that sounds cheesy is the quiz the qb or whatever it is. Sounds good so far.

- Depth Chart Bug fixed.

What is this

Quote:

- Menus a lot smoother. - HFA = More composed your QB is, the more icons he sees on the road. Seems a lot easier to call audibles/hot routes on road as compared to last-gen. - After INTs, there is an optional "Quiz the QB" mini-game. You have three choices in which to guess the play the defense was in. Get it right to regain some composure, answer wrong and lose composure. - Playcall selection method is different. You can use the 'highlight a play' method from 08 or hit one of four buttons to select the play. - Facemasks are in the game. - After a TD, players can celebrate with mascot or (if available) do a team celebration. IE: Currently, Will is playing using UCF and after a TD his player looked to the crowd and made a "U" - "C" - "F" signal with his arms and appropriate crowd response. - After a timeout, you can choose what to have your team focus on. (Similar to last-gen, but different options. I will record these down later. - Animations are pretty good and lots of new ones added. Run animation a lot better, but their backs are still a little stiff at times. I really like the animations in terms of how they look and work. A cool one we just saw was a KR muffing the ball, picking it up, stumbling, and then falling down unable to regain his balance.

These are things from the impression that I like

Quote:

- Post-Game Show consists of replaying the big plays of the game. This is just like the Pontiac Game Changing Play of the Game from 08, but it shows more plays.

I didn't want to hear this I wanted the gameday crew in the post game show

The Depth Chart bug is when you go to change the order on the depth chart after the first move the players that you can choose to switch with go in order from lowest overall to highest.

Say you have HB1 HB2 HB3 and you want to swap HB3 with HB4 who is on the depth chart. You will be able to select him but after that the order of the chart will start with overalls in the 40.

[peteykirch]

It was annoying because say you want to Move HB1 to HB2 because they are both the same rating, if you click on HB2 and move him to HB1's spot you will end up having HB2 HB2 HB3 on the depth chart instead of the CPU just swapping 1 and 2.
