Option attack is still broken for the CPU. Damn near every attempt Oregon had was for a 5 yard lost. 4. CPU punt returners and kick off returners still suffer from tunnel vision. They run in a straight line directly into tackles. 5. CPU RB isn't a threat at all. They still don't like to use their special moves at all. 6. HB screens got blown up in the back field every time the CPU tried to run one. 7. WR and HB seem to drop a hell of a lot passes on screen plays when the cpu tried to run them. 8. Didn't see any new tackle animations or catch animations at all.

What difficulty were you playing on?

Wish there were multiple difficulty options though.

I can see some of the complaints about the colors in the night game as the players are very much under lit, but the USC-Oregon game looks very nice. The reds on the USC uniforms pop off the screen.

Saw a nice one-handed reach back catch on a pass I threw behind the receiver.

I've also seen some very cool tackle animations where the carrier stumbles and rolls forward for yards.

This game isn't the revolution Madden might wind up being, but it's good enough for me to purchase it, I think.

just finished my first game as LSU against Bama, won 17-3. few things that impressed me were:

1. THE FADE BALL ACTUALLY WORKED!!!

2. loved how the pump fake can be used as a weapon now. faked one underneath to the slot back and went over the top to the TE for a 45 yard gain, both safeties bit on the play fake.

3. The crowd was great. on the play to the TE mentioned the place went nuts when he caught it and started running towards the end zone. also was awesome to here the crowd react to 4 straight negative plays by Bama after having 1st and Goal from the 2.

Things i wasn't impressed with was how easy it was to throw the ball, i completed roughly 85% of my passes, and picking apart the defences with spread teams could result in a lot of 50+ point games. overall though i was impressed with how it played, and liked the feel of it better compared to last year

maybe you just suck at the game?

Guys a quickie for y'all who played the demo:

How does the whole WR awareness feature (when a wide receiver is "clear" to receive your pass, apparently an icon flashes?) work?

Does the button icon show up? How exactly is this new feature implemented?
