This build has to be old maybe its from the NYC event, but I know for a fact that this isn't the same game. I have scored over 60 points in every game on this demo. The big give away is the option its broken in the demo, in contrast the build we played at community day the option was spot on money. There are about 5 or 6 other dead give aways in this demo as well but no need to scare the hell out of everybody. If you like this demo you are going to love this real game. But for me this demo is not a representation of the game we played at community day at all.

Good to hear. There were things I wasn't impressed with, but overall I liked it. Glad to hear I'm in for something better come the 15th.

I don't know if this happened to anyone else but a awesome thing just happened. 3rd and goal from os 4, I call a hb toss out of goaline, #32 drops the the pitch from #11,ball bounces off turf, I manage to pick it up while defenders bear down then out runs some slow guy to the corner and dive in to the edge of the endzone.
I never witness any randomness in any next gen sports game until now (let alone a bobbled pitch)

I just find myself wanting to play less, rather than being hyped to go home and pop it in. I guess one reason is the Robo QB, but I think I should just stop hoping for a game that'll have erratic throwing QB's, that's never going to happen. I'm infinitely more hyped for Top Spin at this point, how sad is that? NCAA used to be my favorite game, I'd play 10 seasons in my dynasty. Last year I played 1 year. Maybe the demo is too easy, I dunno, I just don't think that I should be able to throw 40 yard TD passes off my back foot to a FB with the LSU guy. Dampens the fun somehow. Oh well, I enjoy games in every other sport other than football so I'll survive. I'm probably completely alone in these thoughts too, I don't know what's wrong with me lol.

I'm right there with you man...I was super stoked for this game (like every year) then I played the demo and was like blahh...I can't put my finger on why. The overall passing does have me bugged like it does you...it really is the same every year and I think I've hit my threshold...at least until a developer gets innovative and does something radicaly different.

For me, it just not fun anymore. It's too bad because I LOVE football.

How can you judge a game thats played on the lowest level?

I guess I'm concerned because Peyton Manning Laser QB has been there in full versions of past years, on all levels....it's no different here, therefore it's probably not different elsewhere either.
