I must be getting older, Or Heisman default is finally tough. Played Nebraska vs ODU, and my d could not stop anything. TMart committed 3 INTs and lost 24-21. Boy I hope my blackshirts are better than I am with them. Love the difficulty. I need lots of practice this year.

Until rosters come out i only play NE vs NE games, hey you can only practice against your own right?

I couldnt get tmagic stopped at all, i did injur him, and their O basically stopped. It was kind of nice to see.

As i said, i only have played in Nebraska, the stadium looks really nice this year.

Anyhow, i cant stop the option, running QB. Hopefully its a learning curve thing.

I play on AA, TOP has been so far better this year.

I need the rosters, im ready for dynasty.

DB glitch seems to be fixed. I am ecstatic.

Sarcasm? What's the early verdict. The deep ball issue was an absolute deal breaker last year for a lot of us.

ND's helmets fixed on the day games on 360?

Qb says "kill kill kill" wayyyyyyy too much when you audible or slide protect... It's really awkward and annoying to hear over and over and over.

Anybody else noticing after some touchdowns there's no cut or replay screen... It just will follow the player who scored all the way to the sideline and do nothing at all

Seems like sometimes the opponent comes out hot, sometimes cold. Then if the eventually put a drive together you can feel the momentum shift.

Really can't express how much better the Horseshoe looks in this game than any other past NCAA game.

Early verdict is the it's gone. I've been testing all night. Also - you will definitely need sliders for offline play imho.

So is recruiting just set on one difficulty now? Why would they take that out?

menus and UI are still sloooooooow
now i can't start a game, go get a drink and come back when it's loaded, instead i have to press A to advance, is this to get me to watch an ad i could avoid before?

i noticed it in my last game. but the camera would stay on the ball not the player. not a bid deal to me. some others it will be though.

Some people like to watch the pre game stuff. By making you press A/X you wont miss it if you have to get up. You also have to press A/X so it doesn't interrupt you while you are looking at a top player or something.

I'm really not understanding EA's logic with the coach levels before getting into a dynasty.

Some coaches have understandably high levels (Saban/Bama, Brown/Texas, Beamer/VTech all at level 32).

But Tuberville at Cincy with a 30????
Frank Solich at Ohio with 26???? (granted he was at Nebraska for a few years)

But Paul Pasqualoni at UConn with a 25? Ahead of the likes of Urban Meyer (22) Jimbo Fisher at FSU who was coach-in-waiting after Bobby Bowden (10).

But the truly oddest one is North Texas coach Dan McCarney with a level 21. Hell, Muschamp at Florida is at level 8!!!!

I feel like when I start up a full dynasty (when the rosters come out), I have to reset everybody to level 1. It's absurd that some of these mediocre coaches have ridiculously high ratings, while big name coaches have lower ratings.

They arent meant to be exact. The coaching records arent even exact. Roster guys will fix it.

I was excited for this game after playing the demo, but I decided to spend the money on season ticket to try it out online. Thank god, because it is awful. All the same route mirroring and warping DBs that drove me to sell the game in the first place are back. They haven't fixed the glitch where your passing button presses don't register (leading to you to miss your throwing window). Zone coverage is still a massive liability. And if you (on defense) change formations during a no huddle series then your players will line up in the stupidest places.

Thanks season ticket, you saved me the rest of that money.

Pass coverage in this game is terrible even man coverage but zone is way worse. Guys cover zones with no threats in them and give up huge gains. I'm hoping this can be fixed with sliders

I've encountered CPU cheating on all-American. 3 times. All plays having to do with Db's ignoring ball hawk, or literally moving out of the way purposely to help the CPU receiver catch the ball. The last time was appalling.. Triple overtime.. My Db was in position to intercept, but literally slowed down as if running through mud.. to let the CPU make the reception. I've noticed this happening when I use lesser teams. I like(d) the game until this garbage started happening.
