Yes, its only 720, which is complete garbage when it's clearly capable of 1080p. I switched systems after my 360 crashed, and I should not be penalized for getting "the other" system.

Score 17-34 Total Off. 204-326 Comp - Att - TD 18-25-1 16-25-2 Pass- 196-249 TO: 3-1 Punt return yards. 0-8 Total yards 431- 428 Punts 1-37 1-38 QB's White: 166.0-16-25-249-2-1 64% Lou: 127.0-18-25-196-1-3 72% First Impressions: First thing I will say is I have noticed some of the issues that have been brought up. CPU QB comp % is high. Lots of over the middle passes, but not every time. Average starting position on kickoffs was about the 35. Hard to get pressure on the QB Positive notes. I saw the AI DB jump a curl route and picked me off. 2 Sacks, 1 user sack. Running game is great. For me it wasn't a score at will game. It was 10-7 WVU at the half. I had alot of trouble getting Devine going. He ended up with 67yards rushing. Lousville stepped up and made some nice defensive plays as did I. Does the game have issues? Yes. Are they game killers, No. Bottom line after one game. The game is FUN. Pure and simple. I had a blast. The game is very much improved over 08. So much smoother. The issues are somewhat bothersome but to me it doesn't take away from what is EA's best next gen football effort. I think once the patch comes out and the issues are fixed this game will be simply amazing. If you are on the fence, buy the game. You won't regret it. P.S. I did forget the mention that the CPU threw deep on me one time, It was about 40 yards in the air but underthrown, I jumped up and snagged it for a pic. PPS I know this may not sit well with some people but I believe that if you don't like this game, you don't want to like it.

First game you had to play my Cards huh? And beat them at that?

I agree. I would go back to the 360 in a heartbeat if it wasn't for The Show.

Impressions do sound good though. I probably will pick this up.

Well, practice mode is one of my favorite modes in sport games. Last gen NCAA did a really great job with some of the practice features. I mahoping this year NCAA added more features.

God, everytime I get this dynasty servers are not available message it is like someone is hitting me in the nuts with a hammer

I asked Adam Thompson about the 1080p/720p difference last night, here's what he said,

Quote:

All of the game models are exactly the same between both platforms. I'm not a pro at TVs and stuff. For instance, my little brother brags to me that his 360 is better than mine because mine is older. Whatever. The PS3 I believe is 720p. Not sure what the 360 is. Does it say it on the box? I don't know. I've been asked 360 or PS3 a bunch of time, and my advice is always whatever console you want to play online dynasty with. If you have friends doing it on one console, go with them. But if you aren't doing online dynasty, go with whatever controller you like. If you have no preference, go with PS3 cause we need the sales for that console

I think the best practice mode I have ever seen option wise is NCAA 08 on the Xbox.
