I love this option! It will makes it sooo much easier to get to the QB. I always play with the DT and will NCAA 09's poor animations and controller setup it was difficlut to get off a block. NCAA 09 was my favorite of the series (I've played since 1999) and if they fix the OL/DL issues, pass coverage and pursuit issues then this will probably be the best of the series. Throw in C-A-S and customer conferences and this game will be insane!

Its about time they let us know who cheats online so we dont get caught in a bad game by the persons record

does "- Playbooks have been completely revamped again." = custom playbooks?

I would say no. Earlier they had commented about how the flexbone got a lot of updates and that shotgun running plays were improved. I think that's what they are talking about. The next gen playbooks haven't been as good as what's on the last gen consoles so maybe we got a bunch of new plays to use this year.

As I am excited that they have made changes in regards to the OL and DL, I am a bit worried about the right stick movements. If I am trying to do a swim move, or spin move, I don't want to go into an animation that results in me using the hit stick, therefore making my efforts to get to the quarterback a complete loss. How will the game be able to differentiate from being a defensive move to a hit stick? It kind of reminds me of in earlier installments of the game when they tried to make R2 the "big hit button" but also had it work as getting a good jump off the snap, but if timed incorrectly it just did the "big hit" animation and you stumbled and couldn't get to the quarterback. I don't want to deal with my defensive end going for a big hit at no one in sight when all I really wanted him to do was a swim move. Anyone understand what I'm saying?

My guess is that they may have taken the big hit away from the Defensive Line altogether.

I thought I read somewhere that the goofy "QB gets head jarred off" animation from 09 will be gone.

Some of the QB sack animations were over the top.
