For those PS3 owners, I have not seen the QB sliding over behind center glitch at all so far after 4 games.

Can you manually setup your controller like the last couple of years? If this was already answered sorry.

Re: Official NCAA Impressions Thread (360, PS3)

I asked this yesterday but nobody replied....has anyone seen the "ghost juking" that that guy Bill Abner was talking about in his blog? he was saying the cpu would be on a break away and just juke or spin for no apparent reason and it would let you catch up to him? Ive played 5 games so far and not seen it one time...................And for the 1,000,000th time the Kickoff coverage is absolutely horrible, when I punt now I just aim the arrow to the sky and get big hang time on it but if you do that for kickoff it doesnt go very far and one of the up men take it....cpu punting is the same way, when I was using my Irish Armando Allen was goin crazy...the coverage is just not there! Also I really wish the AI would go deep, FSU had a wr wide open when I took my safety and ran up on a playaction and instead of tossing it to the wideopen and i mean WIDEOPEN wr he dinked it under to the TE for a 5 yard gain....kinda sucks

The "look" of the game is MUCH better, the anaimations are much better as well too. It just feels more polished and more thought out gameplaywise than last years game thats all.

I have seen the CPU's player do what you described above (ghost juking) several times. The player appears to get in the wide open and should easily get a large gain or go all the way, but all of a sudden he appears to go into convulsions juking all over the place which allows my players to catch him when they shouldn't have. In these cases, there was no reason to juke whatsoever since he could have easily either gone for TD or long gain.

As for long balls, I absolutely agree. I still haven't seen the CPU air one out. For the most part everything over the middle in the short to medium range.

Exactly. It feels better, plays better, looks better and with Stadium Sounds, it sounds better.

My only gripes so far are:

- Kick coverage is weak.
- CPU rarely goes deep in Play Now games. This can possibly be adjusted with Playcalling Aggressiveness in dynasty mode.
- PKs have way too strong of legs. Lowering FG power to 25 or lower cleans this up, so it's a non-issue for me right now.
- CPU goes for it on 4th and short a little too often.
- RBs don't get tired enough which allows them to get all of the carries (CPU).
- Too much juking behind the line by CPU RBs (Wells, Devine, A. Smith). There were times where they could just hit the edge, but they juked once or twice and it cost them anywhere from 3-10 yards.

Pretty much summarizes the issues I have seen so far, however I have adjusted my sub sliders a bit and seems like my backup RB does get in the game good enough for me. The one big item I would add is lack of penalties, pretty much non-existent even maxing out sliders at 100.

BUT are THESE problems worse than last years problems or actually better(if they could be ) meaning If last years problems were these do they seem slightly improved or are they all new problems where last years problems are now fixed....?

Re: Official NCAA Impressions Thread (360, PS3)

alright, got a good nights sleep, have gotten my errands ran and now am settling in with a cup of coffee and some NCAA.

Anyone have questions let me know.
