I hate to ask a player rating question, but I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere else on the 'net:

what is D.J. Moore's (CB #17 for Vanderbilt) overall rating and speed rating?

I only ask because he's Vandy's best player by far:

-- #3 CB prospect in next year's draft by many scout's account
-- unanimous 1st team all-SEC selection last year as a sophomore
-- led the SEC last year with 6 INTs
-- already on the pre-season watchlist for this year's Thorpe Award for outstanding DB

yet he didn't even make it into the top players screenshot that was posted a while back.
Cheers if you can oblige me with an answer.

here are game 3 stats.. me vs my roomie

VaTech (me)34 W.Va 24


Tech

passing - Taylor 14-23 223 1 td 1 int
rush- K lewis 20 att 115 yards 1 td
taylor 6att 45yards

WVA

passing - white 11-14 191yds 1td 1 int
rushing - white 9att 53yds
devine 6 att 35 yards


overall not a bad game.. i dont feel like posting all the stats.. we both had 2 turnovers a piece.. i can definitely say the fumble glitch from last year is gone.. noel devine is fast as crap.. had a 101 yard kickoff return on me.... i played the run most of the game and he dinked and dunked me all day, hence the incredible accuracy... i threw 2 dumb picks right off the bat.. defensive battle all the 1st half, and VaTech(me) was leading by 3 with 2 mins left and got a critical first down with a sweet slip screen.. screens work well on here, as long as you set the up properly... even wr screens got me some quick 1st downs early on.. we both had 2 pass int. penalties called on us.. so that was sort of encouraging since we hadnt moved up the penalty slider.. still pretty tough trying to get use to the players responding so quickly with the stick, but its alot better controling them than last year.. overall i am pleased... on a side note, something kind of cool for you history buffs.. before each game they give 2 facts as its loading.. usually the 2nd one is kind of obscure.. the 2 i see for illinois was the story behind changing school colors from dartmouth green to blue and orange in 1984.. then 2nd one was about how they came up with the mascot name.

Awesome. Thank you.

teams definitely have different styles. Seem to play to there strengths alot. The differential from the good teams to the middle of the road is huge!! Speed absolutely kills. Playing on ps3 as well. I really like getting pressure on the qb and watching him throw it away.

Could you tell us more about the differences between the Demo and retail for us PS3 guys, if you played the demo? Is there stutter after the huddle and/or after the play? Did you play the 360 demo? could you compare to that. Anything that seemed glitchy or that you can compare to the demos would great.

thanks

Got a question on 2 things. In the demo there were glitches that I never seen questioned. One was when you ran the option and when you tossed the ball the RB would seem to lag when he caught the ball, it almost felt realistic like he was slowing down to catch it, but in a way it looked fake (The transition from toss to catch didn't look smooth). Could you elaborate?

Another thing is that sometimes during the demo I would do individual audibles for the D-line to do drop back in zone and when I did this and brought no pressure the QB would be stuck in the drop back animation and would never throw the ball until I would take control of a DE and try to sack him. Sometimes this happened even when I didn't put the D-line in zone. Not sure if it was a glitch cuz nobody was open or what.

I haven't noticed that stuttering at all so far. I've played 6 full games and 4 or 5 that I didn't complete. The game feels slightly tighter than the demo. especially running. While I was playing the demo I noticed alot of the stuttering after the play and haven't seen it in the retail version. I did dl the 360 demo, and felt it played smoother than the ps3 version, but this sure seems very close. I even went back and played the 360 demo immediately after the retail copy today and I still think theres a very slight difference in the lighting or self shadowing or something, but it's very minute. There seem to be obviously many more animations available as well. And I probably played 30 of the short demo games maybe more. Just had a great, I mean great game. USC vs. UGA @ sc.

UGA USC
score 6 9
first downs 9 16
total offense 154 251
rushes - yards 15-30 25-53
comp-att-td 14-17-0 14-21-0
pass yds 124 198
3rd conv. 2-8 3-8
4th conv 0-0 2-3 (one failed in 2nd half. 2 on final drive 4th qtr.)
red zone td-fg 3-0-2 1-0-1
turnovers 1 2
fumbles lost 1 2
intercepts 0 0
pr yds 0 18
kr yds 81 72
total yds 235 341
punts-avg 3-36.7 0 ( no chance to punt. turn ball over
penalties-yds 0-0 3-20
t.o.p 7:11 12:54

interesting game as i got absolutely destroyed by UGA while using cincinatti. something like 42-10. I was able to run and control the clock, but ended up with costly fumbles before I could score. It was 6-0 at the end of the first half. To start the 2nd the commentator says, "obviously they can move the ball, but turnovers are the story of this game".... anyways. I dislike the incredible percentages that the qb's can complete but so be it.

You can throw out the idea of the demo and retail version being the same. They're a lot different. I thought the 360 demo was much more fluid without the hiccups so it got me worried about buying the PS3 version since it's my first year on the PS3.

but I assure you, the studders and hiccups aren't there anymore. It's a much more polished version of game.

Would like to see more full season sims. Qb stats, polls, etc.?
