From my experiences some of them float way to far out and hang in the air way too long. I haven't seen enough passes that would normally be line drives take an angle for the ground. It seems they all float and hang around forever.

Hmm, interesting. That could be cause most of the time, I get hit when going for the big shot downfield, so perhaps it's cause of the power I'm trying to generate to get the ball down there? I don't know, just a guess.

I can see it being a problem though if they do typically hang in the air too long, a lot of times, QBs will direct their throws toward the dirt to avoid that.

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.

Have to disagree, playing as Florida, started the game off with a 95 yard kickoff return for a TD. Like how it is not as easy to return this year, have to actually look for lanes, not money. I always had returnewr of the year in NCAA 09.

I think the new version on kick returns is better but the returner doesn't seem nearly as fast or responsive. The pursuit angles make it much more difficult, which is a good thing. I was playing with OU and UF returned a kick, then I returned the ensuing kick, and then they had a huge option play for a score when they got the ball back. 3 scores in 38 seconds to start off the 2nd half.

I like the new way better but they seem heavier and slower in KO returns than if he were a WR. It makes sense though since they had to start from a standstill.

360 version is far from looking fine to me.

I agree with that assessment.

looks beyond fine to me. I would go so far as to say that visually it's stunning.
