Does anyone REALLY KNOW that the E3 demo was a later build or is that just another one of those OS rumors guys like to start?

The psychic coverage was gone and it just felt like the CPU was only making plays (or not) based on physical abilities, and not on cheating AI. I think there is a pride factor where many people want to beat a challenging game and I totally get that. However, when you bump up the difficulty level in sports games you are essentially enhancing the levels at which the CPU "cheats". I'll have to play around with this some more, but if nothing else I'm satisfied that the sliders (in the demo anyway) that impact AI for the CPU are working.

So much this. People recently figured out that another game's (I won't name it so as not to take this off-topic, but you can probably guess) highest difficulty levels jack the CPU's offensive and defensive awareness to the moon (+20 on both), as well as several other key attributes. I have no doubt that Heisman and All-Madden do something similar with certain ratings.

I don't really care what level I play on as long as the game plays well. And I agree there is far less route mirroring and generally unfair gameplay at both NCAA and Madden's lower levels.

I believe that mprice33 said that the demo build was not the final build. He was at E3.

For those who are freaking out about the game and what the final release will be like, just lower your expectations. The lower your expectations, the more enjoyable the game will be. I got tired of setting the bar high, so I set it low for EA, and low and behold they came through like champs

Thanks, PV. I hope that's accurate, for GameChangers, Mods and Youtubers sake - because I'm going to a pain in someone's side if that DB glitch shows up.

And btw - for those that want to see the DB glitch - in NCAA 13, just go to play call screen, change your Adjustment to "Aggressive" for Pass Coverage and start seeing your DBs sprint towards the LOS or sidelines after following their receivers for a brief moment.

I think it has more to do with people just not wanting to accept this is another minor upgraded game.

If you notice there are some guys who will actually get upset when you point out flaws that still exist with gameplay.

It's one thing to proclaim the game as the best ever on this console gen. It's another thing to blindly ignore some of the issues that still remain after several years now.

The game is definetly worth purchasing but I'm not going to pretend as if it's a totally new game when in reality very few things have changed about it.

well I like mrprice33 alot and always follow what's he's got to say about football games (mainly Madden) but I need more than that, especially when I'm playing a game (that EA has given me to entice me to buy the "final" product) and the db bolts for the LOS when the ball is in the air headed to the guy he's covering.
