How are sliders vs. CPU cheating? The paying customer has the right to tailor any aspect of the game to his liking. If someone gets off on beating the CPU 100-0 every game, who cares? The more customization options the better. If you don't want to use them, don't. I do get it, and to each his own is right on.

They are around the same time. Remember, the demo is missing commentary because the file would have been too large. There are other things missing as well.... I will leave it at that.

I just played on very slow and it was much more enjoyable and realistic than normal. On normal, it felt like NFL Blitz and I got bored fast. Decided to try very slow and it was right on. I hope they change this online (UT) or I don't think I will purchase.

I've played two demo games so far; Both as GB. I have yet to score or allow an offensive TD. I lost the first game 13-6 (threw a pick 6) and I won the second 9-8 with a last second FG.

I have to say that Gameplay has exceeded my expectations. I usually don't play with GB but, it's going to be tough not to this year. I may have to use two teams in Franchise for the first time this Gen. I'm thinking of going with GB and Cleveland. That way I have a top 5 team and a team that's in the lower half of the league. It will be interesting to see the differences between the two throughout a season. What a great year for football fans.

i wouldn't pay attention to this guy....he's already made it known that he's set in his ways and sliders are only used to cheat the game.

Some of these fellas are making no sense at all

Is there anyway to turn off that annoying cutscene every time after you pick a play ? I just want to get my defense set up. I know you can press A to hurry it up but it is still pretty annoying.

Exactly. I guess it cheating if I play on default AA across the board with the exception of bumping the CPU Running Ability and Run Blocking +15 too, right? Especially, since in most football games I've played the CPU running isn't that great out of the box.

Sliders are as important to sports games as picking the minute per quarter that you play. They've done nothing but, make the user experience better. Personally, I wouldn't play a football, baseball or basketball game that didn't have them. The only game that I play that doesn't is UFC and I'd love to see THQ add them *crosses fingers

Exactly. Though I must add that NCAA plays pretty darn good on heisman with no adjustments.
