I love it.

The offense on heisman with Oregon feels brand new to me. By far best part of the demo for me. I busted two long read option plays, guys blocked it perfectly.

Playing against Oregon I had them bust me up with a speed option. I think heisman is going to be the way to go this year for sliders if they figure out how to let the CPU scramble on it
Just played a Heisman game with me being Oregon and late in the game I busted a 40 yarder with LMJ down to the 3 yd line and on the next play I ran it in with him. Then on the next drive I got the ball back by an INT and Darron Thomas broke a read option 22 yards to the house. Both looked and felt great.

Now my only gripes with the demo (which I am positive most are going to be fixed with the retail version) are:

1. I am seeing what everyone is talking about with the cpu qb (I really only see it with texas' qb) is him a. not scrambling and b. throwing the ball out of bounds into the 6th row a few times a game. I am sure those 2 things are fixed in the final game.

2. In the game I was talking about above, the texas qb threw deep a good 8 or 9 out of 15 passes. IDK whats up with that but its only 1 game so I am not saying its a problem yet.

3. Kick/Punt Returns. The coverage teams all stay in the middle of the field and on punt returns your blockers wait like 2 yards infront of you for you to catch the ball to start blocking, which in turn gives me no room/time to run. Every return is the same. They need to stay in their lanes in order to get better and more varied returns.

4. Player Movement. Sometimes when I change direction with the left stick the player kind of just floats over into position. Hard to explain but its like the runner has his knees slightly bent and instead of cutting, he just stays in that "knees bent" position and "shifts" to his new spot. Weird looking.

5. Last but not least..THE GRASS! Call me a nitpicker, I dont care, it looks bad. Go look at Backbreakers grass and that is what a field should look like. No black spots everywhere just green grass. Turf fields are different they are supposed to have black in them because of the rubber pellots but I believe Madden does a better job at this than NCAA (for turf). It has become a distraction for me to look at the grass which is a shame.

THAT IS ALL!
