^ Oh, the floating dives are in this year too jdrhammer. Don't you worry.

I saw two new sick catches last night. One was by Aaron Hernandez (me) in the back of the endzone on a 3rd and goal. I ran Short Fades out of Gator Heavy to the back corner pylon. It was glorious. He snagged it as he stumbled and fell to the ground. The other was by Gresham (CPU) on 3rd down and about 7 or 8. Matched up against one of my LBs he ran an in route and jumped up, but caught it by his waist while shielding my guy. Very cool looking. He got the first down too.

I really enjoy all of the new animations this year.

Cool.

I hate the lame duck passes that only add to INT fest. There should be some darts to the dirt when getting hit but I haven't seen them.

I started out playing as UF because I'm not an OU fan but I've since moved to OU since they may be more similar to my Rebs due to the playbook. I know it's really easy for me to throw INT's but I've had so many hit my guys right in the hands only to drop. Looks like INT sliders will be set to 0 again. Hopefully they work.

^ INT slider set to zero? You too. I have been doing as long as I havd had sliders for NCAA. I move it to zero before I even play my first game. LOL

Might just be something I notice, I know what is really annoying, do you guys notice that the offense and defense side of the ball the players are normal speed but when you try to run a kick off return the player running the ball is kinda in a slow down mode. Its weird, hopefully its just me but take a look. When you return a kick off the return guy runs in a slower speed than everyone else. As far as the game speed, I meant that you can really exploit mismatches this year. PLay as OU for example, I ran a shotgun spread that exploited a UF LB with #4 WR for OU and UF got burned. Its like you can definitley tell the speed ratings between players. Jermaine gresham is a nightmare for all the LB's on florida aside from spikes. Thats the speed difference I am seeing. Game speed though is somewhat the same.

Nice call. I was thinking the same things. That's one reason I like the new over the shoulder catches. If you get a step you can definitely burn them. I had someone from UF beat on a flag but I had to get rid of the ball early due to a rush. I floated it out nicely but it was overthrown. I might could have taken control and sprinted but I usually don't do that and I wanted to see if hed overthrow.

The KO's do have a speed lag. All in all, I like how strategy and gambling can hurt you or your opponent. That's a big element of the chess match aspect.

Maybe, the retail versioni will have better graphics, but I doubt it. I dont know how the 360 version looks, but the PS3 doesnt look as good as last year. It just looks really washed out to me.

The overall consensus from what I can gather is that the PS3 demo is garbage. For some reason it didn't transfer correctly because the 360 demo looks fine.

I'm sure it will be up to par with the release of the retail version.

I've only had one pick when throwing while getting hit so far. I've actually had most of mine hit the dirt about 5 yards in front of me.
