Agreed. The open field tackling and the replay thing is a big problem.

As for the dreads, something that should have been taken care of a long time ago.

anyone else share the demo and then have it just not do anything after showing you the unlocked pro combats? I've sat here for about 10 minutes now, and can't do anything but exit the demo via the Dashboard(PS3)

Thanks in advance.

lol I just wish the Ohio State game was in the snow.... hey tere's an idea- if a team like Miami or Hawaii plays somewhere up nort where it is snowing or vice versa, it would affect the players performance somehow as they would not be accustomed to the temperature. thoughts?

Also, noticing WR slips a LOT more this year! Don't know if it EVER happened to me in last year's game, but playing right now with mizzou, i've been seein it a couple times per rain game, and honestly i has screwed some plays up :/

running game has a very smooth feel to it..i like that

So far everything is great. My only complaint is that you can never really get a sack. The QB has the Madden problem of releasing the ball into the ground every time he gets hit. Other than that, great!

This demo is amazing. Looks great, NO CORSO!!!! Controls amazingly, Locomotion has lived up to billing im killing OU with Texas RB who's only an 83 spd but a 94 acc. This game is great. I cant wait for the full in a month

How do i download the demo?..everytime I click download it says its for xbox gold members only. Do I have to pay an upgrade to gold in order to just play the demo? Thought it would have been free like other demos I've gotten. Please help..

I agree, I thought the player models looked excellent.

Played all four games a while go and I was pleased. I'm not good at giving detailed thorough impressions on...anything...but the one thing that stood out to me was how fluid and natural it felt. I agree with others that the gamespeed being slowed down is a great feeling. It looked to me like a realistic college football game, I was getting decent pressure on the QB, and a wide open receiver dropped a ball every now and then.

The team entrances was what I expected, I have seen some people on here say they're disappointed, I'm not..but I'm not blown away either.

Overall everything looks great, I'm really looking forward to having this in my hands on the 13th.
