First win, finally. Default heisman, Oregon vs TAMU, I was Oregon

24-14


Putting together a 14 play, 6 minute drive with Oregon was awesome. Mixed in every option I could find

This game is an absolute beauty. Only complaint. The user pick is non existing that is all.

Johnny Football first play of the game takes off and got the first down. Just a great thing to see.

That's what I figured. It was really my only gameplay complaint so far.

I never download demos for games that I'm going to buy for sure, NEVER. I'm going to download this one, too many good gameplay stories from people whose opinion I know I can trust, to pass this up. I'm getting a College Hoops 2K8 vibe over here.

Also love the player chatter.

More detailed thoughts....

-I blew up an Ohio State Screen attempt. Did the CPU QB stand there like a statue and get sacked for a 15 yard loss? Nope..Braxton Miller took off for a 7 yard gain. Sexy.

-I haven't even touched Heisman yet and I've lost all 3 demo games I've played. CPU AI is so far ahead of any previous NCAA AI it's incredible, both in playcalling and actually on the field player control.

-You won't be holding CPU teams to 17 yards rushing for a game anymore. Teams like Alabama will pound you for 4-5+ yards if you try and stop them with a 7 man front. Bring a safety in the box and they start attacking you with the pass. Beautiful.

-Deep routes..at least from what I've seen..are not even remotely "money" anymore. CPU DBs are aggressive, zone coverage is much better, and safeties will pick you off like crazy if you test them.

-CPU Option game is a game changer IMO. The Read option teams that were destroyed year after year are now legit threats. Hell...more than that..they are nightmares. Oregon ran all over me and it was legit, solid CPU play ability..not cheese.

-I saw an offensive PI. I haven't seen an offensive PI call since...well...ever.

-Punts don't always roll out of bounds. Had several drop inside the 5.

-Personally I like the new intros...and this is coming from a guy who's library of custom made entrances is now null and void because of the new intros.


And the best of this..this is a DEMO. The full game is most likely even better.


EA has waited until the final year of "this gen"....but this has the makings of a masterpiece and the best football title...NCAA or Madden...ever. I see nothing in any aspect of the demo and the AI I've seen to suggest otherwise.

So excited for this game to release.

Just saw an offensive pass interference call! Wish I could go into the replay and see what happened.

Coach mode, is it still in the game??? Please say yes, surely they wouldn't take it out...
