I'm admittedly a pessimist about this game. I've seen this same song and dance before and it's shaping up to be the same this year. I can point out several instances in this video that look awful from a football standpoint.

The 1:07 mark. I understand that players have to be programmed to go to their pass responsibilities first....but the defensive player on the outside knows it's a run for 5 seconds and still backpedals. WTF? And this doesn't get better on Heisman, the D player will do the same thing and your guy just won't block him. Same song and dance.

The 1:42 mark. The defender obviously has to wrong arm that pull and make the offensive player get yards on the inside. I can't remember the last time I've seen a pull block pulled off like that and it happend 4 times in this video. Again, this doesn't get corrected on a higher level, your guy just won't block him or the CPU player will do this ridiculous move to break the block.

The pass rush...nuff said. The DB/WR interaction...nuff said.

It's the same things man. I'm used to it, I just want an improved dynasty and better presentation. I've accepted the gameplay as ultra flawed.

To end on a positive note, the apparel really adds alot to the authenticity of the game. THAT looks really good.

ps stylee, the play at 1:22 is schematically correct. We called it 22 dive. The tackle helps the SB out with the DE before going on to the LB. The technique is terrible as the SB has to get the inside of the DE (that play goes against the law of physics the way it currently is in NCAA's game), but it was actually one of our strongest plays.

Although I'm not completely happy with how the running/cutting looks...that's still a huge improvement from 10. I can see a difference, for sure. I'm glad to see the videos starting to get out more. It's like giving a starving man a cracker.

Looking forward to seeing the players look to the sidelines for the plays.

decent, wish they would actually show the live gameplay instead of stupid replays

[mrMagic91]

So basically they are saying that the CPU will play like a actually person? Thats all I can see. lol

They show us what the game actually looks like as you're playing it, pre-snap... Why is all live action footage from a replay? When will they show us actual gameplay footage from someone actually playing the game live? I'm not one of these EA haters or anything and I'm super excited for the game but not showing what the game looks like when it is actually being played makes me feel like they're hiding flaws.
