WTH Sky?!?! Do you have penalties turned off?!?!

I must've seen 15 holding penalites on that return.

That play was sweet and quite entertaining.

LOL!

Man I have seen some blatant clips just flat out not called. But on that play...It's ok

just played florida and saw harvin line up all over the place...i like that alot

also played earlier with Mizzou and Chase to Maclin is really good.

Some of the sideline animations are a little screwy.

For example:

I scrambled with the QB and was pushed out of bounds with 22 secs left. The commentators said he was pushed out but the clock kept running.

HBs out of the backfield on passes are really hard to cover with LBs. Dumpoffs are guaranteed yardage.

Overall, after about 3-4 games i noticed that AA(on default) is a little bit too easy for those who have been playing NCAA for some years now.

Props to all the slider makers who will make this game more fun for us sim heads.

ummm i have a question im getting the midnight release in fayetville so im trying to get a little info before hand with the new way you call audibles are you able to set your audibles where you can get up to about 20 different plays ran on any given play because if so that would be great for my no huddle offense in my dynasty

That play was sweet. You made the first guy miss and then it was through the crowd and then off to the races.

I love how guys look back when they are on breakaway runs. Man this game is tight.

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

i saw the ghost juke one time but honestly a guy WAS coming at him albeit from an impossible angle. i've played about 10 games so far.

in one game i saw a backup QB but i'm not sure if it wasn't because the starter was hurt. i don't think the qb subs any though honestly, not if my campus legend is any indicator (i was 2nd string and NEVER got in the damned game!)

Guys,

Just so you know...I DO like the game. I have found some sliders on AA that make it enjoyable.

But I am also pretty upset because there is blatant evidence that the Defensive AI is not even a tenth of what it was in 08. Blitzes are pretty ineffective, and it doesn't help that the CPU QB AI is just insane...like Pro Bowl good.

I just played Florida, got stomped by 30 points, but I wanted to point out that the AI does a GREAT job of utilizing Percy Harvin. He was EVERYWHERE...in the backfield, at receiver, etc. Very nice. UF is disgusting in this game...ESPECIALLY considering the lack of ability to get pressure. My DBs just could not stay with all those 95 speed receivers running around for 5 seconds or more.
