Block have you played the 360 demo? I have a pretty solid mid range LCD and both systems on HDMI. It's night and day difference.

Who knows. My TV automatically puts the game in 720p I believe, so maybe that's why it doesn't look as bad as others?

Like I said, if I hadn't read it here, I would've never noticed any of it. As it turns out, I found myself actively looking for what people were talking about. I've never been a huge graphics nut, and I've been blown away by pretty much every game I've ever played on my PS3 since I got an HDTV

I busted two long read option plays, guys blocked it perfectly. Playing against Oregon I had them bust me up with a speed option. I think heisman is going to be the way to go this year for sliders if they figure out how to let the CPU scramble on it

Just played a Heisman game with me being Oregon and late in the game I busted a 40 yarder with LMJ down to the 3 yd line and on the next play I ran it in with him. Then on the next drive I got the ball back by an INT and Darron Thomas broke a read option 22 yards to the house. Both looked and felt great.

Now my only gripes with the demo (which I am positive most are going to be fixed with the retail version) are:

1. I am seeing what everyone is talking about with the cpu qb (I really only see it with texas' qb) is him a. not scrambling and b. throwing the ball out of bounds into the 6th row a few times a game. I am sure those 2 things are fixed in the final game.

2. In the game I was talking about above, the texas qb threw deep a good 8 or 9 out of 15 passes. IDK whats up with that but its only 1 game so I am not saying its a problem yet.

3. Kick/Punt Returns. The coverage teams all stay in the middle of the field and on punt returns your blockers wait like 2 yards infront of you for you to catch the ball to start blocking, which in turn gives me no room/time to run. Every return is the same. They need to stay in their lanes in order to get better and more varied returns.

4. Player Movement. Sometimes when I change direction with the left stick the player kind of just floats over into position. Hard to explain but its like the runner has his knees slightly bent and instead of cutting, he just stays in that "knees bent" position and "shifts" to his new spot. Weird looking.

5. Last but not least..THE GRASS! Call me a nitpicker, I dont care, it looks bad. Go look at Backbreakers grass and that is what a field should look like. No black spots everywhere just green grass. Turf fields are different they are supposed to have black in them because of the rubber pellots but I believe Madden does a better job at this than NCAA (for turf). It has become a distraction for me to look at the grass which is a shame.

THAT IS ALL!

cpu wr just stopped and faced the ball instead of keep running.

it would of been a catch over my two defenders in area.

however since he just stop ball sail over his head he didn't even attempt to go up and catch it.

wish we could actually go up and get the ball when we press y instead of waiting on an animation. nothing more frustrating to put your self in good position only to wiggle around to make play on ball.

tackling is much harder and more fun. playing in 1st person view camera you really have to take good angles. since its not as much suction.

wtf cb can't jam for crap. i loving playing as a db in my secondary with player-lock on. i can't jam wr just runs by me gave up a few big plays b/c got out of position trying to jam.

Does anybody feel like hitstick is irrevleant. tried hit sticking a few times no luck. had good shots at opposing ball carriers

playing texas vs orgeon cb blitz hit the qb straight up.
the dude straight big ben my *** and threw me off him like a rag doll. only to keep rolling out right and get make play downfield.

Something I just saw for the second time:
The computer is inside my 5 with more than 30 seconds left and runs up to the line and downs the ball to stop the clock.

I just threw for 400 yards against FSU on Heisman. 14-25 for 419 and 4 Tds. The Zone D is better but there were several busted coverages.

I'm going to give Texas a try now.
