I felt that way a little bit with Wells, but not with LSU's RB. I could easily go off tackle and outrun most of OSU's players with him, including Laurinits.

Yeah I scored on a toss play to the left side of the endzone. Brutus the Buckeye was over on the right side. The animation started when I got to the goalpost. It was surprising.

I haven't figured out if you're supposed to push a button or just run to a teammate to get a team celebration.

I wonder in the final build will we see the bands on the field during pre-game and at halftime as we view our stats. It would have been kind of cool to see Ohio State's band dot their I on the field like the annoucer had said at the beginng of the demo. Also they should have the players coming out of their tunnels it just ads to the build up.

The first game I played on the demo, I had 4 facemask penalties called against me. I havent seen them nearly as much sense. Guess the players were hyped up for the first game

I really dislike the mascot celebration only because the mascot is typically on the other side of the endzone whenever I drop 6 and I have to watch the jogging scorer whose STILL holding the ball come up to him.

Edit - I just returned an interception for a touchdown in which i ran up to a pursuing teammate and the celebration happened where they just sorta pushed at each other.

I just find myself wanting to play less, rather than being hyped to go home and pop it in. I guess one reason is the Robo QB, but I think I should just stop hoping for a game that'll have erratic throwing QB's, that's never going to happen. I'm infinitely more hyped for Top Spin at this point, how sad is that? NCAA used to be my favorite game, I'd play 10 seasons in my dynasty. Last year I played 1 year. Maybe the demo is too easy, I dunno, I just don't think that I should be able to throw 40 yard TD passes off my back foot to a FB with the LSU guy. Dampens the fun somehow. Oh well, I enjoy games in every other sport other than football so I'll survive. I'm probably completely alone in these thoughts too, I don't know what's wrong with me lol.

You're not alone, I've played the game less and less each year... last year I did 1.5 seasons and stopped. The recruiting was a bit too much work (yes, it felt like work) and the BS turnovers were killing me. But the biggest factor was my love of FIFA, that game is my new obsession.

With that said, I played the demo and loved it. I likely won't be getting up early to play a game before I got to work on release day, but I will be getting it release day.

I haven't read all 106 pages, but is anoyone else kinda pissed about all the ads in the game? I don't mind Old Spice red zone and such but a Coke Zero ad when I make a defensive switch is crossing the line.

You have no kidding how pissed I was when I saw it during the defensive audibles. They have all these ads and they've yet to actually use the full potential of the only company that matters - Espn.

mgoblue, is this due to no presentation? no entrances, celebrations, etc?
