I was playing on Heisman and AA, most everything about it is too easy. The coverage is too weak, and the QB passing is too accurate, but improved from last year, I've never been bothered by the pass rush, the WR seem to rarely drop the ball, even if getting crushed, and slant routes over the middle are practically a guaranteed completion. That's just my .02

Hmm u must be a beast. When i changed the Difficulty. I found it harder to connect to me receivers. It was hard to lead WR like i could on varsity.

lol, i'm no beast, I just know how to pass right in this game I guess, for example, I was playing NFL 2k5 the other day on all-pro and I only completed less than 50% of my passes out of 40 something attempts, but when playing ncaa(heisman or AA) I average about 75-80% completion ratio(with stock sliders)

I had no problem playing on AM settins. Heisman is the settings you will struggle with.

I also found a strange glitch on the NCAA 11 Demo with playactions which made my QB miss the running back all together and he just keeps running down field in the hand off animation and cant make him stop instantly. Happened twice and i lost 30 yards both time. They need to plug up there xboxes and ps2's and go see for themselves. I actually did that when my 1st 360 got 3RROD. I was amazed how the game didnt cheat me on harder difficulties. No route jumping or crazy glitches. The A.I. just played alot smarter.

I'm glad someone hears where I'm coming from. I can pass like a beast on PS2 but the demo is a pain in the rear because guys that should be open aren't open.

The safeties jump the pass and cover ungodly amounts of ground with a perfect route. The soft spot in a Cover 2 is the deep middle, and I've rarely been able to complete a pass there when I know for a fact it should have been. The safeties are just amazing. Their awareness is better than my own receivers even though my receivers know the routes...not the defenders.

And the ability of guys to guard man to man is phenomenal.

Plus, the defense has been in the backfield all day long in the demo.

I tried playing games by just passing the whole time (not that I would do that in a full game) and perhaps the defense has the ability to boost their ratings when they're onto the fact that it's a pass. However, it does no good for me when I know it's a pass.

I also wonder if this is a PS3 issue. Everyone who has said that they are awesome at passing or that it is way too easy even on Heisman has an XBOX logo under their username. Just a thought, but could it be isolated to PS3?
