If Steve ok'd it I am not going to question him. And in my experience mom and pop stores do get the game earlier on some occasions. But please stay on topic. If you have a question ask it. Let's not derail this thread that is giving information.

Do you really care where I sent this from?

Man, you just criticize everyone. Just because you can't get it doesn't mean others haven't.

And non-dynamic conference prestige isn't a killer for me because most of my historic setups are fine, but eh, it kinda sucks if teams improve and the conference prestige remains poor, a la what the MWC could have been. Boise, Utah, BYU, and TCU in the same conference? Yea, I'm sure they could move up to B at some point if they kept it up.

has any of this improved from the demo?

-ice skating, excessive pancakes by the OL, bowling ball defenders, all out CPU blitz on 3rd and long?
-how does the game play on the slow gameplay option compared with default? do you have more "control" over the players?
-do you have to adjust the coach options in dynasty or is it part of the overall roster now? by this i mean where you can control things like RB1 vs. RB2 carries, defense aggression and blitzing etc.

and how effective are the sliders? especially the penalty ones!

It's very possible the graphics were better because of the TV. Mine isn't terrible, but it's definitely not the quality of what I was playing on.

I didn't slow the speed. I liked the speed of the demo so I kept it on normal

The skating was pretty much the same as the demo.

I didn't pay much attention to pancakes, but it wasn't obvious that they were out of control.

What do you mean by bowling ball defenders?

I only saw 1 all out blitz by the CPU and it was on 2nd and 10. Needless to say I completed a quick pass for a good gain.

The coaching sliders are part of the create/edit coach now, so it's part of the roster file. I didn't see a slider for RB1 vs. RB2 carries. Just run/pass ratio, sub frequency, and defensive/offensive aggression that I remember

I'm planning to go back and play next week (probably Wednesday) so I'll keep your questions I didn't answer/don't know in mind and check them out

I think the graphics were a little more crisp than in the demo, but I was playing on a better TV than what I have at home. There were still some rough edges, but I thought the game looked pretty good. I haven't seen the 360 version so I can't compare it to that

Just FYI, I have a 40" Sharp Aquos LCD HDTV and I played on a 55" Sony Bravia LED HDTV. I don't know too much about TVs but I'm pretty sure the Sony is better than what I have

I hear some gripes about the LB getting too many picks over the middle being able to jump with superman abilities, have you noticed any difference? I have played the demo, but havent had too many occurences I guess, just wondering what your take on it is....
