What the hell are you doing? It's not like a giant blazing billboard for the past year hasn't explained what the MAJOR issues were with 08. Sounds like EA just didn't bother to address many of the BIGGEST issues..or address them very "meagerly". Not a good thing.

Bingo. Turnovers should have been the first thing fixed. Not something that needs to be slipped in in the last phase.

Red flags based on 10+ years of NCAA football:

*high scoring 5 min. games? - going to cause problems with stats because there won't be enough snaps: tackles, etc or carries and catches.

*CPU QB AI

a) obviously the 1-2 INT TD's per game were a gamekiller last year. Inflates the scores of games and means even more annoying house rules.

b) couple that with high completion % = a lot of the 15-19 250 yds (higher if the CPU actually throws deep this year) 2 TD 3 or 4 INT games from the CPU QB...

I'm underwhelmed - they didn't even talk about the option game yet...
