Also, the running game in my opinion is awful, really hard to get anything going at all as Grant... NCAA seems to be much better. Throwing is a bit inconsistant too, Nelson drops everything while Jennings catches the most stupid throws. Now I know Nelson is inconsistant at times but come on! Game speed is also a bit of an issue, normal is so fast it's comical while slow seems just a little too slow to be realistic. Some aspects like the running game seem ok but a lot of the passing game seems sluggish to me. Overall though there are more upsides which I can't be asked to mention so while there are issues I am more impressed with this demo than I have been previous titles. Not a first day purchase this year because I haven't played NCAA enough yet but I will definatley be getting it at some point. Hopefully by then all the inevitable teething troubles will have been fixed. Fingers crossed.

When it comes to the running game, watch your blockers. I'm serious it will really help. I average 6-8ypc and have broke several runs over 25 yards.
