    Anyhow, have a few questions for you guys with the demo:

    How is CPU play calling?
    How is the CPU QB Play?
    Have you seen many bad throws?
    Is USER passing? too easy/hard or just right?
    How is CPU DL pressure?
    How is CPU run game?
    How is kickoff/punt returns? too easy/hard or just right?
    Are you seeing the CPU go deep more often? not s much?
    -Play calling seems to be ok. Hard to get a good read with short clock.
    -CPU QB panics too much imo. Will throw incompletes but seems to just chuck it when pressured. I wish they would tuck and run more.
    -Quite a few bad throws. Good balance for me and CPU.
    -User passing feels like you HAVE to have good touch or the ball will sail or too hot to catch.
    -CPU DL pressure is great imo. I felt uncomfortable and when I tried to run sideways out of pocket the DE's were there to grab me.
    -CPU run game is again hard to judge cause of time.
    -Special teams seems fine.
    -The CPU QB will throw deep. Nice to see.

      The devs say this has been tweaked for the final build. Over-the-top tackles happen too much in the demo, but not in the finished game.

        Mirrors?? lol

            seems better, the CPU is able to move the ball on me. when I was UF, Bradford has yet to run the speed option.

            also better, the CPU QB has yet to throw a pick for me. I would guess their competion % is probably around 60%, but there is no way to tell as the demo doesn't have a way to see stats, unless it pops up as a stats banner in-game.

            I've seen a lot. by me and the CPU. also the new wrap swat also creates incompletions.

            tough to say right now, it's seems different than '09(I played '09 yesterday to compare) the lead passing controls seems slightly more sensitive to me.

            with a blitz I've been able to get to the QB within reasonable time. better than some of the videos I've seen. from a 4 man rush, it doesn't look that great unless you control a DL/DE.

            better, but not sure if by how much. need more playing time. wished the demo had more time per quarter.

            on varsity, it's easy. AA/Heisman. not so much for me so far. I would say it's still on the easy side though.

            I've had the CPU throw deep on me a few times. already more than '09.

                CPU's OU defense just roughed up Tebow for a 15-yard penalty. Haven't seen that in years ...

                        Not bad some jaggies on the cheerleaders but that's probably my TV and probably have to tweak some settings. And as I stated had to turn the brightness up a little.

                              Before I start note that Ive only played 2 quarters of the demo thus far.
                              From this little amount of time I came away pleased with what I saw. On the first play I did a screen to jeff demps and scored from 65 yards out and then I expected the game to be just like 09 and have wiiiiiiiiide open style. In my next drives (i was just screwing around doing random plays to test out the links and qb choice type stuff) it seemed harder to move the ball than it did on 09. I love some of the tackle animations, the lob ball is fantastic and you can actually work the fade a little bit now! Offensivly, I didn't like the handoff exchange on the qb choice because it seemed that tebow would be stuck in mud for a half a sec and then run. Also for the people that say the game plays too fast, how? It seemed ok to me and I thought brandon james seemed to slow when I had on kickoffs haha.
                              Defensively, I just used player lock to test it out and didn't think it was too great when I was the nickel corner. I bet it will seem better with a safety because I use him a lot when I play non player lock D but the downside of it is that you can't change into a corner when the ball is in the air (which is why it's called player LOCK). One thing I am sure of is that the dline play is much better with player lock, carlos dunlap #9 for florida is a DE and I was a beast with him using player lock. I really rushed bradford and made it hard for him to do much, I'm happy to see this because in the vids the dline play was very sketchy.
                              To anyone that hasnt played it yet, from the little time I had I saw these things and I think its a big step up from 09, pursuit angles do make a huge differance too. Call it ncaa 9.5 if you want but I think this game will be legit.
                              Now lets find out what i say after I play a couple of games haha

                                This demo was a waste of time. I would be more interested in this series if the developers released this game every 2 years. Then at least they would have more time to release something that would be worth looking into. Its obvious all the attention is with the madden series with this being just a throw in.
