Me and TB have been playing the CPU testing out the gameplay. We switched back to AA because Heisman had to many weird things happen. So far we like what we see on AA. We even lowered QB accuracy but had to rise it back up because QBs were making to many bad throws. We haven't had as many big plays for either human or CPU on AA as we did on Heisman. Might sound weird but it is true. We will keep updating as we move forward.

Yea I ran pretty good. I ran for 90 yards or so.


To answer the INT question I threw 2 picks and the computer threw 1 so it wasn't bad.

I was hoping to see some videos of custom sounds in action. I'd like to see how that works out. I know I posted a clip of them in action a couple days ago, but that was just with a "DEFENSE" chant. I'd like to see someone with some actual music (Hells Bells, Crazy Train, Thunderstruck, etc...)

I just want to be clear on sounds issue, so sorry if this has been asked before:

When you set up your playlists for the sounds...you don't have an option to edit when the song starts, correct?

Example: When I score a touchdown, say I want like...oh...Hells Bells to play. But I don't want it to play starting with the song intro, I'd like it to start right at the lyrics: HELLS BELLS. I have to edit sound clip on my PC, and then transfer that version to the ps3, correct?

(Also, does anyone know if PS3 custom sounds can just be transfered via USB)

The videos and impressions are great though guys. Keep it up. Really sucks to read about how the stuff from 08 wasn't fixed.

Lower the FG slider to about 25 and you'll be just fine.

Wanted to get your guys' take on some things.

1) thoughts on roster issues (any other freezing)
2) anyone try any dynasty stuff yet? see any stat issues? dynamic attendance working? field degradation? recruiting about the same or better?
3) any depth chart issues? or moving players round or menu lag?
4) do you feel like you have to use all the "arcade moves" (spin etc) to have success, or can you hit the hole in the running game?
5) any D-line pressure?
6) i know AA said the defense felt dumbed down, but do you feel like the D has any chance in the game? or is the offense just too powerful

its not like that every game. Maybe because I wore all whites?

I just threw a nice 40 yd strike to Chase Coffman from Chase Daniel (vs. TTU in Lubbock). Coffman ran a wheel route and the LB just had no chance because he bit on a pump fake (the safety was late). The best part was I ran up to another WR after the TD and they jumped for a high-five. Then the both came down and Coffman dusted off his right shoulder. Pretty slick.

You can really tell the difference between playing against a defense like OSU or UGA compared to TTU's defense. This is the first game out of six that I have marched down the field twice to start the game for two TDs.

Back for more impressions in a few....

Yep. Absolutely.

Anyways a quick update. I stand by what I said AA plays tons better IMO than Heisman.

Right now TB playing Miami at home (Clemson). Not a barn burner in the least so far as Miami leads Clemson 6 -3 in the 3rd. (Miami missed an extra point.)
We are doing little tweaks here and there after a few games.
Just wanted to throw this out there.

During KO returns we do not use the sprint until we are at the 30 OR we reach the first D player. Whichever comes first. Been working out well so far.. Just hope EA does fix this area.

Update: Clemson hit a FG to make it 6-6 in the 3rd but Miami followed with a TD drive to go up 13-6.
