Had something interesting happen that are few and far between with this demo. CPU just had an epic 10 play, 82 yard drive, ending in a 3 yard TD run.
Took all of the first quarter and 30 seconds of the second.
I hope the CPU offensive AI is better in the final game, maybe the quarter length is forcing it to make poor decisions, maybe not.
It was great to see a long drive like that from the computer, it was even able to establish the run and busted a 15 yarder.
I'm Oakland vs Chicago btw.

WTF I was so excited to play this game. I'm halfway through the second quarter of my first game and there has already been 3 roughing the kicker calls when I'm about to get the ball back. The CPU is running into the punter late and I can't get the ball back. This demo is broken.....

It's official then, nanos aren't present in backbreaker. FYI Amazon.com is selling backbreaker for 44.99 and free shipping.

I feel like this may have to do with the difficulty. When I started playing that happened to me too. But once I switched to Hard I don't recall it happening very often if at all.

Yeah but in the extreme other direction. In my experience the QB is super easy to sack and can't compete a pass.
