    Just played Bama vs TAMU on default AA. Won 28-0. I swear I can play better on AA than on varsity! Lol

    I also got a pick six with a linebacker.

    I can't wait for July 9.

    Does anyone know, I assume they are doing midnight pick ups at GameStop...

      I only played a half so far as Texas A&M.

      Cons
      1. It's way too easy to get a perfect jump every time on Oregon's Hurry Up.
      2. The second flick of the trigger for kickoffs didn't register on two of my three kickoffs (the reason I got pissed and shut the game off after the second half kick-off).
      3. I had a linebacker warp through Mariota.
      4. Almost every play had the "falling forward trying to regain your balance" animation. It could be programmed like that for us to see it, but I doubt it.

      Pros
      1. It felt like weight mattered. I took a defensive lineman and tried to run around in circles in a zone and you could tell it was a struggle for him.
      2. Kickoff blocking. I returned the opening kick-off of the game back for a touchdown after a monster block from one of my players on the outside.

      The score was 10-7 me whenever I shut it down.

        I haven't had trouble with any of these.

        I have seen the runner stumble forward before, but only if I held the right stick
        Forward too long.

          I should have clarified that in my post. That was the CPU the I seen falling forward in the animation almost every time, not my players.

              One thing I think is over done is that I see to often in the demo is the stiff arm animations.

              They look cool but seem to negate any other defender that should effect the play. It doesn't happen every time but looks weird when you have 3 extra defenders that can't effect the tackle sometimes.

                I've always been a varsity player. But I just got done playing two games on AA and really loving it. I was Bama and beat VT 28-0, then played as Michigan and beat OSU 10-3.

                The Michigan/OSU game was awesome. A scramble with Devin Gardner turned into a fumble and OSU ball. They drove down to the goal line but threw a pick in the end zone to seal the deal.

                This is going to be the best NCAA game of all. I'm loving it.

                  Had that bug that people mentioned where I got an INT defending my own goal line (was at my own 7 yard line) and it was reviewed. After the review went in my favor the other team took the ball over at the spot.

                  Heisman seems to be the way to go though, having competitive games. That bug though is pretty bad.

                    "* I was playing against Ohio State. With 2:01 left in the first half, OSU calls timeout. Plenty of time left, no need to burn a timeout."

                    This has been happening for years now.

                      yup. This happened to me as well while playing Texas A&M/Oregon. I tweeted at EA's NCAA Football account to bring it to their attention. Not that this will do any good... considering I tweeted at them constantly last year about posting a pic of awesome uniform deterioration, but never seeing that in the game. (still aggravated about that...).

                        No question. But where does it stop? I play online so it would be pretty frustrating for someone to run option/shovel option every play. I don't know if you have tried it, but it's pretty bad.

                        Regarding real life, I don't believe the Pac was really regarded for their defense this past year. Sure, Stanford, U of A and ASU were okay, but nothing to write home about. I'm sure Oregon is salivating every year when they draw up their offenses.
                        Just to shed some hope here... I have not been successful running any shovel option play yet. The CPU has covered it up on both occasions that I ran it.
