    First Thing You Do On July 13th?

    Name rosters?

    Play a play now game?

    Start a dynasty?

    Browse the menus for new features?

    Something else?

    For me i'm going to name the Longhorns roster and then play a play now game with them - heisman difficulty - @ home vs. a weak school.

    I always do a play now game vs our arch rival, Clemson Tigers. After that, I look around to see the new features that were added to the game.

      Practice mode and slider test until the rosters are available.

        Play now games to figure out sliders.

          Wake up. No but seriously, I usually do a few play now games, may start with practice this year, so I can get used to the playbooks of my teams.

                  I'm on vacation so I might take the time to rename the rosters myself.

                    Practice - > Offense Only -> Run around the empty field getting a feel for the locomotion and the R-stick moves. I haven't been able to do that in the demo.

                    Might also try making a Barry Sanders-style HB to see how well agility and acceleration really work.

                    And then it's time to start going through the playbooks -- unless EA/Tiburon decides to release them in PDF format before launch day, which would be REALLY NICE.

                          Play now games. Texas versus someone else. I'll try different difficulty settings. Then look around for features. May try an online game. Then start an RTG, and wait for rosters.

                            Look at the menu and see what's different, then do practice mode with teams I may use as a dynasty to see what they're like, play some "play now" games until rosters come out.

                              Same here. Did 'em all myself the first 3 years you could edit every team. Got burnt out on it and have been waiting for the whippersnappers to churn 'em out ever since.

                              The last few years my routine has been to immediately name the entire UNC roster, then play a quick game at Kenan against either Duke or State. Then I play with Dynasty mode to see what's changed. After that, I just play Play Now games to get a better feel for gameplay until the named rosters come out.
