    I love the demo, but this would be my biggest fix needed. More than entrances or anything else, because it takes away a big part of the game. I can call a much more aggressive game, because I only risk giving up first downs, not deep TDs. You would think EA would want the deep ball in the game if they are putting an emphasis on "wide open gameplay." If the CPU would threaten deep, it would force me into soft coverages at times, and that would open up the CPU ground game. Instead, most of us play pretty tight to the LOS, because there is little threat of someone getting behind you.

    Unfortunately, as someone mentioned earlier, it's been this way for a couple of years.
    Is there any way to adjust for this in the sliders?

      I dont think any Miami or FSU fan should be talking about QB's for the last few years.......

        Drew is 2-0 against Miami, remember that Xavier Lee started and played the entire game last year.

          I just downloaded the demo for the 360, so I'm a little late joining the party. I've only had time to play 2 games so far. But the first thing that stood out was the field texture. It's the best I've seen in any game.
          Second was the screen pass. Finally a football game that pulls it off the right way. I called it 4 times in the 2 games. 3 out of 4 times it worked with great success. The 4th time OSU stuffed it for a 4 yard loss. I like the fact that the AI adjusted to shut it down.
          Third, I love the fact that the td celebration is up to you. I'm a team guy and hate the past games where you score a td and your team just walks back to the huddle like it was a 6 yard loss. The fact that you can run up to a teammate is great!
          I can go on, but I'll save it for the complete version on the 15th.

          FIGHT ON USC!

            Has any 1 seen the td celebration where they do the back bump. Best one. I hope i can figure out how to trigger it more often.

                Oooh. I haven't seen that yet. I would love to see it though. I thought I saw it done in a video someone put out from the Community Day or maybe Vetzballin or something. I could be just imagining things.

                I can't believe that I still play this demo. It just makes that wait that much harder.

                  I hadnt noticed this, but I probably will now. But this does explain why the QB's go, for example, 13/14 in a game. Because all they do is throw little 7-10 yds passes over the middle.

                    I've seen it multiple times, after scoring a TD, just run up to one of your team mates. sometimes they bump chest, sometimes they back bump, and sometimes one player picks up the other.

                      This has probably already been mentioned, but the opening stadium shots at dusk sure are RED. Makes me feel like I am playing on Mars.

                            Why don't they give us Wall right or Wall left for punt and kick off returns...it's more like just a mess and then try to find a lane out.
