Seems like same old same old as far as the CPU is concerned. I'm gonna have to check with Tarheel and GMSS in a couple of weeks.

i have it at #1 in my gamefly Q so here's to hoping i get a copy soon....

send me a PM with any questions i will be maxing out this season ticket.

we still cant get coaches to use assigned playbooks in play now, so far i cant get it to work in dynasty either.

despite its short comings it still plays you close, i have lost my fair share of games luckily for me i run a pro style offense and rarely if never use any formation with more than 3 wr.... so i dont get many streaks TD's which keeps the game close....

but if you are a spread guy, and roll out 4/5wr the slot guys can have career days due to the cpu deep belief that 4-3 cover 2 zone is the best play to defend 5 wide anywhere on the field...

but overall it comes down to if the cpu can win despite its multiple turnovers, i have yet to see a clean game by the cpu. just lost to alabama in a colorado state dynasty, AJ went 22-33 298yds 3td 3int we lost by 20. they had 5 turnovers i had 1 but they were faster and nothing was open ever....

on a side note something i enjoyed is at the team select screen it showed what type of offense that team ran well that is now gone. If you want to know that that team runs you have to go to the edit coach screen select him and go through the options.

so many new coaches at smaller schools i like to use online or in friendly's, its the little things.....

Had the worst glitch I've ever seen in NCAA. In a user vs user game I threw an INT in the end zone and instead of it being a touchback, it gave my opponent a touchdown. Besides that, I love it.

One of these years I wish they would fix the skinny arm RB glitch. So annoying.

Change the CPU playbook in the menu before the game then switch back to your team.. Very annoying it doesn't set it, but that is the workaround

EA SPORTS- If it's in the game.. You have to find the workaround

This is why we say qb acc slider is not balanced enough.

At 0 qb wil hit 40% of their passes.
At 5 qb hits 75% of their passes.

No matter their rating.

I played this game all day yesterday and this morning. Already bored of it. Not worth 60$. All the reviews other then OS are spot on. I have the same feelings playing this that I had the previous years.

There are marginal changes, but they are no game changers. Too damn generic. The Infinity engine is a sloppy mess. It's just 1 on 1 tackling with defenders running into ball carrier like mindless robots. The assisted tackles don't record no more. It's just sloppy looking football.

13 was a lot smoother. I can't see this game or Madden in my PS3 trey all year over games like NBA 2K or The Show. Another wasted year. Hopefully they learn their lesson this gen and won't waste 7 more years of mediocre gameplay.

Is the deep passing game as easy as it was on the demo? DB glitch gone?

I am having an absolute ball with this game. Until I run into a game breaking glitch, I don't think that will change. Staying away from the impressions thread and the bugs thread is something I should have done a long time ago..

This is by far the best NCAA Football this gen, and iv'e officially retired my NCAA 06 PS2 version. Well done, EA
