Really nice to see this:

I was playing as Mizzou, and the cpu was Clemson. CPU threw a long pass to a wide open receiver (I took control of the defender and spun away, lol) but the pass was overthrown! I was thinking "there's 6 easy points", but no. And, I didn't see the receiver warp into position to catch it.

Not to mention the numerous sideline catches I've seen, where the receivers actually TRY staying in bounds.

Can't wait til the 13th!

It "locks on" to the player your controlling, giving you an over-the-shoulder, behind the back view during a play. It's best on defense, IMO.

Ya it's pretty fun, but if you're trying to be serious an win a game against a human or tough CPU opponent it kinda sucks.

I disagree, I use player lock 90% of the time on defense and it makes it more fun even if it's a tough game, because you can't just be superman all over the field, also you can't actually use it against another human player.

So I haven't played the demo in awhile. I played maybe 10 games the first two days it was out and then abandoned it. I got bored so did two games. The first I was Ohio State and destroyed Miami (on AA).

The second I was Clemson against Mizzou, again on AA.

My QB was terribly inaccurate and when he actually threw to where he was supposed to the receiver would drop it. My RB got shoestring tackled and he violently fumbled the ball. The CPU could do no wrong though, my players simply slid of them when trying to tackle. Robo-QB and sticky finger WRs.

In the last drive I'm on the ~15. All 4 downs my players catch the ball in the endzone, wide open and immediately drop them... this would have been for the win.

Can't tell you how much it felt like 10 where the CPU is scripted to be unbeatable some games. Hopefully their adjustments they made to retail fixes that. I know there's sliders, but it just feels weak that you have to make your players into superman for them to catch the easiest of passes.


All the other games I had played were perfectly fine, with only small bugs that have already been addressed. This was the only game where I had super CPU.
