havent even played 2 minutes and i got glitched, great start

playing A&M, they go hurry up on the 2. Center "snaps" the ball, doesnt pass it to the QB, walks into the endzone, i tackle him 5 yards deep and then it signals TD. lovely

The game feels solid.
Running is especially more fluid and smooth. Blocking is so much better I almost fell out of my seat.

The one thing that's annoying me already about the game, is the slight delay when you pick your play. I don't know if that's a bug the first patch can fix, if it's a demo thing, or if it's here to stay. It's not a big deal, but it's kinda driving me nuts. In the end I'll get over it though.

Road to Glory Camera:

One thing I noticed that (for now) makes me happy, and that's on the camera selection screen there are options for "Road to Glory Camera View."

I liked playing it for a short time, but it got really annoying if I was a QB. It seems like you can pick different player angles.

Camera View:

I played for a short time on Normal, and it was, well, normal.

Then I switched it to Coordinator cam. I felt too far away from the game.

I played the Wide mode, and so far that one seems to the best in my opinion. You start far enough back where you can see the whole field, but it gets a bit closer once the play starts.

The one complaint I have about the Wide camera, is the EA/ESPN bar at the bottom of the screen. It's not "in the way," but it's kind of distracting. Maybe I need to get used to it, but it be nice if you could turn it off.

Lastly, I'm glad there are more camera modes to play on, but ultimately it would have been nice to have something like FIFA has, where you can create your own. I'm almost positive that NCAA used to have that. It would be nice to have that, because a cross between Coordinator and Wide would be amazing I think.

i was playing oregon and it was third and goal at the 3 yard line. As soon as Mariotta said hike and got the ball he immediately threw the ball away in the back of the end zone. wtf?

Gotta agree that they fixed the deep passes.

Though, I do have a couple of complaints; but, I'll definitely still get the game:

- teams that run the read option seem to always run it. Oregon only attempted 5 or 6 passes the whole game.
- tackling animations are still prolonged like in NFL '13

Other than that, this game is the real deal. Teams score a ton in the first half like they should, and as the defense takes over and wears the offenses down, the teams don't score much in the second half.

I thought this wasn't going to be any good, but, I will definitely get it.

The defense is covering the four verts on me really well

Just found another broken play possibly... Fake screen Wheel out... #1 on Oregon (guy doing the wheel route) is open uncovered nearly every time I run it... When you can throw for 400 yards like nothing on Heisman level, there is something wrong...
