Ok, I started my dynasty. Played about 15 mins first game. Went back to 08 and played about 15 mins. I'm going to post what I'm noticing as I play. Here you go. The very first thing I noticed, because I love to play defense, is that they took the strafe button out. Holding the left trigger to strafe does not work anymore. Its more of an analog sensitive feature now, I'm not saying that in a good way either.Comment

Had to check the book for a second, and lo and behold it still has strafe as left trigger in the manual. Its not in the game. Lets see, crowd didnt look bad in 08. Its worse here, I'm assuming they took away from it, to make the cheerleaders. I'd rather have the crowd and the players on the sidelines more detailed, they could have kept the cheerleaders actually. Suggestion, If they can only do one or the other, sideline players should get first priority, then crowd, then cheerleaders. Crowd and cheerleaders could go either way depending on the person I guess.Comment

bomberooski, left trigger doesnt strafe man. Dont use the trigger and watch, I gaurantee the players are gonna be doing the same thing that you thought they were doing because you were using the trigger.Comment

The overall gameplay doesnt feel as crisp as last years either. I commend them for trying something new with the open gameplay, but it seems to have taken away from the on field physics. Its very hard to explain. Players dont seem to have weight to them. I like the overall feel of last years game better. Standby, let me get some more game time here.Comment

Not really hearing any new commentary lines, does anyone notice If they've added any? I dont hear anything new. Hmm, grass looks different. That wasnt really that big of a deal for me anyway. My judgement now is kind of hasty, but so far, I can actually stick with last years version and it aint to big of a deal.Comment

I was very much alright with 07 and 08. That said, 09 game play is immensely disappointing. The defensive AI is the biggest culprit. Now that I figured out the system I can run one play and it works every time. There are three options:
1. Crossing route, receiver always beats his defender in zone or man.
2. Hitch, if the crossing route isn't there, there is almost always the hitch man with his defender sitting right behind him, but don't worry, the defender will never try to jump the pass, he'll just tackle him as soon as he gets the ball.
3. Scramble. I'm playing as Oregon State, so my QB is slow as hell, but depending on the coverage, I can still sometimes scramble for 10-20 yards.
When I'm playing D (I play on All-American) it's the same thing. Computer's always hitting the crossing route or the hitch. No throws down field. Also, I tried for fun doing engage 8 from the 4-4 and 5-2. Now if I do that in real life, yeah it's probably going to be a completion, but the QB better get rid of the ball fast. Nope, he still has 5 or more seconds to sit and analyze which of his wide open receivers he will pass to.
I'm not enjoying the game play of this new game at all.Comment

I'm stll waiting on the real espn presentation. Thats all that we really need I think. T.V. style presentation. They keep trying to revamp the play on field when it actually never was that bad (except for 07 in my opinion). The wide open gameplay thing seems to have jacked up the field play rather than enhance it. Leave the field play alone and focus on the presentation now......please. Crowds, sidelines, halftime, pre game, post game wrap ups, ya know, thats what really needs the work.Comment

Wow, another football game by EA with some of the same bugs from the previous year and with newer bugs. Imagine that.
It is sad that year after year people keep buying these games like blind sheep and then bitching about them afterward. This does nothing but promote these developers to keep making this ****.
Pathetic...Comment

I actually miss one of the coolest features of 08'.....how stadium lighting changes as you get deeper into the game. 08 had (has ) a great feel to it.
Why did Ea take it out this year??????????Comment
