Thanks for being willing to answer these questions.

Without having the game, the kicking procedure is different for ALL consoles this year. Its the right analog stick and most like it although say it takes time getting used to.

As for camera angles, a guy at Utopia reported no new ones except maybe sideline if that wasn't in last year. No user created camera.

Don't know about the create-a-team question.

OSU defense is not rated very well this year...Play against Mich or Penn State and see if the deepball is still the same if you would please...

13-31 is only 41%. That doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Of course your going to throw for 520 yards when you complete 13 bombs, as well as scoring 6 tds. I don't think this will be a problem. Would you rather be 4-31 throwing the deep ball, knowing that a last minute 80 yard drive is impossible? I'm just saying, you didn't even complete it half the time. 41% seems about right to me, plus it was only one game.

Will the QB drop back automatically for you after you snap and NOT THROW the ball? I like the auto drop back of Madden and 2K but NCAA did not have it in 2006 (without throwing the ball for you)?

Edit: Sooner1 I read in the other posts that you prefer Madden 06 and are looking to sell this game. I just want to know if you what game you liked better last year, Madden or NCAA? How did you feel about NCAA 2006 vs. 2007?

I know you're testing the game out in this area but in a real game is anyone really going to throw constant streaks?

Do you have the game? Just wondering since I think someone with your handle was posting impression at the Utopia site and I can't access those forums at work. If so, could you post your impressions here as well?
