Going from my fully rerated roster in '11 I know I will have to make some tweaks, but again, I fully understand that we don't have access to the sliders.

REALLY hope you can customize the layout.

Grass looks horrendous ...my goodness whats going on with the grass? It looks like last gen grass..seriously and the patches of 3D grass mixed in with the flat textured grass doesn't help anything..in fact it makes it look more like a mess than anything else. The graphics overall just seem worse now for some odd reason.

I was never a big fan of the NCAA football series..i dont know..i just don't like how the game feels exactly the same each year no matter what they do..maybe its the college music and sounds in the background that makes it feel the same each year along with the same worn out commentary guys.

I am just not feeling it..i definitely wont waste 65 bucks on this game, that is for sure. I just hope Madden really delivers this year because its all i will have for my football fix now.

According to Steve, the demo is a month older than the E3 build.

AFter playing each matchup once, as well as messing around with RG III, i have to say the game is fun. A few notes.

1. I absolutely love the new passing, now i can really trust my eyes and have to recruit accurate Qbs (....maybe) What sold it for me is just about every pass i threw was caught in stride when it was completed. Got an awesome post pass completed on cover 2 when the saftey commited to the outside streak route, led the WR more towards the middle of the field and caught a great TD pass.

2. no complaints on the running, pulling guards seem a little smarter this year, and i was actually able to make a few cutbacks once or twice for some extra yards.

3. the damn DT's still get through, but now i'm seeing more animations on the DE's and sometimes they get there. I'll have to see the tuning in the full game to really have an opinion on it. Also, blitzes ARENT psychically blocked now. I've had some safetys and LB' come free fast. Pretty good.

4. Love man align is fixed

5. I like the steady weather progression, but i still have fears that i won't see an overcast game during the course of my dynasty. One of the last things i'm pining for in the future along with some revamped line play.

6. RG III is a monster he Heisman thing was over the top but fun.

7. I hope the CPU runs the option a little better in the main game, but i doubt it. I'll just make GT a spread team then.

8. I can tell the difference between Baylors, USC and LSU's defenses. I was breaking open a lot against baylor, it was way tougher against the other teams.

All in all its simply fun to play, which is all i want nowadays. I'm not going to harp on the negatives, because the positives are quite good....except for the weather in dynasty. I'LL NEVER STOP HARPING ON THAT. EVER.

All in all i think i'm going to keep my pre-order, especially since i'm only dropping 45 this year, plus i'm not getting screwed out of uni's with the amazon pre-order.

I agree about the grass it looks like a 3 year old got a hold of green and yellow paint and just went crazy on a blank sheet lol.

It has no texture to it just a flat as paper look with weird color on it.

I may be seeing things or may be getting crazy, but I saw my LE get double teamed by the RT and RG.......anyone else see this happen? I was playing as LSU against Bama

Still don't understand how DT's get more pressure every play than the DE's.

I've played five games and have had the opposite experience. This is one aspect I've noticed marked improvement from '12.
