Yeah you hooked it up last year ODogg. I'll be waiting for your thread to start up when you get it.

We all loved how much you posted last year ODogg. Hopefully you find it early again.

Past 2 years I have received the game 5 days early as well since the store here openly states that they ignore street dates.

Unfortunately I am always hesitant to post about the game early because I like to post exactly what I think and that has been negative the past 2 years and I don't like upsetting everyone before they get to play it.

Damn, just watched the option video.... HAHAHAHAHA, exact same as last year, completely broken. Hell that isn't even Pryor in there running it. That is super slow pocket passer Boeckmen. Sub him out and put in Pryor and it gets worse. I can't believe that EA can't balance this crap and learn how to defend basic football 101.

Great. Is the engine that broken? I'll have to watch these videos tonight.

What level do you play on Soce? Are you a Heisman guy? If you get it early I'd still be interested in hearing what you have to say about it. Did you post your thoughts on NCAA Strategies?

[Keyser Soze]

I post on here and NCAA strategies.

Yeah, I always end up on heisman only because I want to have the most competitive game possible however with heisman comes a lot of non SIM issues.

While I am pumped for online dynasties, if the gameplay stinks bad enough that the CPU can offer no resistance without 101 House Rules, then I am not sure if even online dynasty can keep the game alive for long. Its bad enough that one has to figure out all the sliders on these titles but when you also have to incorporate tons of house rules it really starts to lose its fun. You can find my slider threads for the past games in the slider thread section. You will see me going back and forth from AA to heisman in past games trying to get SIM style and some form of competition but always giving up at some point because its impossible.

Yes...I crossed to the dark side once I realized EA was the only footall game I would be able to play anymore. I do not cheese, but I also do not expect sim play anymore. In fact if my online opponent lines up his RB at QB and runs 2 plays, but does not glitch punt or onside kick, I consider that a quality game. lol.
