I don't get how people say the cpu AI is smarter. On offense I still see slow QBs running the option, I don't see the cpu QB getting the ball in the hands of the best wide receivers, I see terrible clock management, etc. We are still a long, long way off before the cpu actually calls good plays and use their personel properly. They don't act play like a human in any way unless you say the person calling the plays is Forest Gump. All of the cpu RBs run the same way. Big backs and small backs seem to use the exact same logic when running. I see no personality in this game. Great players are often invisible.

The lack of real physics and player momentum is really going to hurt long term. Football needs this more than any other sport and without a big improvement I'm not sure NCAA 13 will be a first day purchase.

One of my biggest complaints has been the neutered RBs. The stiff arm, r-stick juke and truck move all suck. Those were fun and now they are not. I can't seem to make any good moves in the open field anymore.
