What do the levels mean ?

[Exonerated]

So i've been playing the ncaa demo for ages.

But i keep wondering. When i hold the right trigger/R2 and push down, I get to see my levels.

Now I see different coloured circles underneat each player, and sometimes they're flashing.


What do all the circles mean?

And what does each colour represent? And what does flashing represent?

Anyone know?

This is a guess, bc i asked the same thing and never got an answer, but i believe its how hot or cold your guys are. Ive only seen Boeckman (#17 on OSU) go yellow and that was when i was something like 8-8 175 yards and 2TD.

If anyone can shed some light, that would be awesome.

Yeah i thought it was how hot i guy was or cold. I got a blue qb coz i never passed.


But do they have an effect on gameplay? Increased stats? Trigger new animations?

When the cpu was completing like 3-4 passes in a row. He seemingly became impossible to stop.

I handed LSU a 69-0 shillacking and the qb wud throw a pick every 3rd ball and i wud complete every pass.

Maybe EA finally implemented a working momentum thingy. If so , i'm very impressed, it actually works.

Maybe it's just me...but if I'm up 69-0 and the CPU still has the same QB in and he's tossing INTs left and right...I will not be impressed. Especially if it's OSU/LSU

I'm fairly certain new animations are not triggered.

I'm pretty sure its their composure level, like '08s motivation level. after a lot of good running plays my left side of my O-line were red, which seems to be good.

I had an overtime game where I was just power running most the time and my whole oline was red along with the RB pulsing red. Then I was playing another game and the End blew by my LT for a sack and then the LT was Blue. So it must be some type of Hot/Cold. Also it seems like when I had LSU's RB pulsing red he could do more effective jukes. This may have just been the placebo affect but the animations seemed bigger for some jukes.

Combination of added stats and bigger animations?
