I was playing a game last night as PSU and got absolutely crushed by Iowa. And you know what I wasn't upset at all. We'll maybe a little but in previous versions of this game that never would have happened. I lost 27-7 and didn't score until they put in there second string defense.

Funny thing is that it was a home game. I played Wisconsin on the road and won 24-7.

I like the fact that this game is harder. I mean come on, PSU was 3-9 last year but I had no problems save 2 or 3 games a season with that team in NCAA 2004.

I love the fact that it is harder to pass and depending on who you play harder to run. It makes a huge difference the strength of the team you play. As I said Iowa had the #1 ranked Run D in the game last night and they proved it against me.

I still have a few gripes though:

I think they took a step back in the kick return game. Last year I thought was great. This year your guys don't block or create lanes. Every time I get the ball all I see are the other teams jerseys bearing down on me. I am talking kicks not punt returns, I like the harder punt returns thought they were too easy last year.

The CPU Passing is a little weak. I think they should open it up more between the 30's then tighten up the d after that. It would still lower scores without the low completion %'s.

The tip drill is overdone. Last night Iowa's Qb launched this floater and overthrew by about 10 yards. The DB swatted it straight back to the receiver who caught it. Instead of batting it down.

EA please, please, please update the presentation on all the games. I want to TV style psotgame, pregame, weekly presentation. The SI covers are great but the game presentation is not so good.

Finally, as an overhead camera user, this is the 3rd straight year I am saying this. Please allow the overhead view in domes. I sim those games because I hate not being able to see my wideouts.

But HFA is great. The Recruiting has always been great. Except for the few things i said the gameplay is still fun.

BTW, these are only "MY OPINIONS". If you don't agree that's fine.

Sorry, I had to add that after reading some of these other posts, some people need to mellow out. It's a game, it's supposed to be fun.
