Impressions are coming in fast and furious from the community, make sure to add your own.
- Pass Rush was not touched from the beta. It’s there loud and proud.
- New player models look great like they did in the beta.
- Not sure if the loose undershirt was tweaked a little after the beta. It sticks out a bit more. I think it could be a bit closer to the body. It looks sort of like a small tennis skirt.
- Locomotion is so good.
- Off platform throws are missing on default sliders for myself and the CPU.
- Not seeing the tipped interception issue from the beta. Nearly every ball is finding grass if it is jarred loose.
- CPU QB pocket movement is in a good place. Not perfect, but it’s nice to see them move in all directions to avoid the rush.
IlluminatusUIUC – Played 2 H2H matches. So far the game plays great IMO, I’m still figuring out the passing mechanics but I like what I am seeing. I need to build my own playbook to really open things up but I’m not sure if I wanna waste my demo time on that.
- Only 1 game so far(ps5). Was really impressed so far. Game looks great. I like the hair and cloth physics. Player models are so much better
- Running gets better every year and that cut mechanic is fantastic.
- Wr db interaction is great. I didn’t see any real dramatic issues in coverage which ultimately killed 22 for me.
- Everything feels real organic with tackling and animations but with the freedom comes some jank. I expected that and am not upset by it.
- The new passing mechanics are cool but I didn’t find myself really caring about it and more or less did things like I normally do.
- The atmosphere justt feels so much better and immersive.
- I played a pre season game and the cpu QB was a bit too accurate for my liking especially for a backup.
- Really liked how the cpu qb moved around and sensed pressure.
- Cpu run game was non existent. Hoping it’s a one game thing but this has been my number 1 complaint for a long time.
