I've had a little bit of everything. I've been shutdown by Texas, I destroyed Alabama*, I went to OT with Oregon (won on a stop & FG) and I shutout Alabama


Can't complain about that. Everything looks good, except the secondary man play is very meh.


*with 2 minute quarters on AA, I'm calling a 17-0 game "destroying"

i have a weird feeling custom sounds for entrances is going to come out all screwed up. Like its going to start playing the song before people thought it would.

Really at this point from what it sounds, the game is last year's game with a set of tuner updates. So if you buy the new game youre basically paying for custom conferences and coaching carousel since those are the only things that are new or will feel new.

Don't agree with statement but u forgot CUSTOM PLAYBOOKS.

hmm no one metion nothing about Overthrows or under throws. Passes hitting the grass without any kind of interaction between by the Defense or offense.

Does the CPU and Human overthrows passes as Madden 2011 did or the Game is exactly as NCAA 2011?

So far i have seen many videos and i havent seen more than 2 overthrows in the entire videos i have seen.

how about the demo?

It's pretty much the usual standard with the majority of incompletions being dropped or swatted balls. I did see one overthrow where the CPU tried to go deep on me but got pressured before he released and the ball sailed out of bounds.

I noticed that about the flats too. And slant patterns, especially with TEs are still an almost certain catch.

4) Yes the passing game is way too easy. Its not hard to fix that is what sliders are for.

You can't use sliders online, so that's not an option for online players. EA just needs to get things right. Besides that, sliders don't fix everything anyway. There are certain core mechanics, and animations that need to be improved.

I didn't forget it, its something so minor that i didn't think its worth mentioning not to mention it was already in the old games so i'm not going to praise them for bringing back an old feature like custom playbooks and act like its a big deal.

All I have to say is that Ratings will need to be lowered across the board.

For teams to be rated as A's, means most of their players must be rated in 90's, which means we will see DE's/LB's with 90'ish Acceleration Ratings...

Def Player's with Super High Pursuit ratings (which causes players to change on a dime)

Corners with high Tackle/Strength ratings to be making the tackles the Demo is showcasing.

Super High Play Recognition which causes Def players to know the play (screens, PA etc...) before you snap the ball.

And to know that Recruits will be in line with Default Roster

This 4th yr issue just takes away from all the other good things that are in the game because by year 4 in your Dynasty, we'll basically spend more time requesting Tuner sets to fix the Ratings that effects Gameplay.

Man, we did this song-n-dance last year how these High ratings killed the game.

Is editing 1,000's of players ratings to get just 4 yrs of Gameplay in Dynasty worth it in order to enjoy the other good aspects of the game?

No. I'm not sure what that has to do with sliders though.

What I've noticed so far:

-The tackling looks and feels much better. It doesn't allow that cheap spin move where you could always make a defender miss like you could on 11.

- Zone Coverage is much improved, though the defenders don't make a play on the ball a much as they should.

- I don't like the play calling set up. I liked last years much better.

Really ? I like the new setup, reminds me of Madden 11 setup.

I don't like the kick off plays though. Return, middle, onsides........that's it. No return left, no return right
