I got the BETA yesterday and played 3 games. I haven't touched franchise or much of anything else for that matter. I'll be playing more tonight of course, so if you have some GAMEPLAY questions, ask away. If it's not GAMEPLAY, I probably won't answer it right now.

Sweet!!

Does the computer throw deep much?

Steve_OS · 08-26-2003, 11:48 AM

One thing is for certain. Pro is very easy. I went 24 of 25 w/ Quincy Carter. The incomplete was a drop.

GRAPHICS ARE JAWDROPPING in 720 mode. OMFG.

I've seen MANY gang tackle animations. I've seen recievers reach out w/ one hand to try to catch a ball and get plastered.

Let's see. Actually, I take that back, I did try a little bit of Franchise last night before I went to bed, so I'm trying to go off memory here. There is a Power Ranking system that goes throughout the season, including preseason. Emails come in out the wazoo and is VERY cool. You can see key injuries, weather coming for the next game, players that did really well the last game.

So yes, I might be able to answer a few franchise questions, I did not get to sim a season or do a draft yet.

In the 3 games I played, the CPU threw deep at least once in each game.

How is momentum? Is there enough of it? To much?

Steve can you rate the game 1-10? I know you just got it.. I'm just curious to know how you would rate the game overall so far. Thanks...

Personally, I think the momentum is close to perfect. There are times where I feel there is a little TOO much of it, but for the most part, I think it's spot on. I'm loving the running game, getting skinny and pushing your blockers is SICK. I had a nice 60 yard scamper w/ Hambrick last night. I'm playing on All-Pro because Pro is just way too easy.

LOL, can't rate it right now, maybe later in the week I can give a more accurate rating. The gameplay so far is solid tho, if that is what you are looking for, you won't be disappointed. Again, it's only been 3 games.
