Same here. I also think the speed has something to do with the difficulty. Tennessee looked way too slow compared to Florida when they had the ball. Not just the ball carrier but all the players. The post play presentation looked good camera angle wise but I see what Pasta and CDJ meant when they said they showed the cheerleaders too much.

Harvin is a beast, he picked Tebow up off the ground like he was a toddler in that video.

How hard is it to show a cutscene of the team RUNNING ONTO THE FIELD?!! Honestly...I'm serious. That would help the "atmosphere" Petey. Sorry, I'm just venting over stuff that should have been in and STAYED IN this series YEARS AGO. Still plan on buying it but Good lord I wish there were some guys in charge of this game that UNDERSTAND FOOTBALL. Not a bunch of geeks who have no clue that in reality....football games aren't 65-60 explosions with 17 turnovers a game and 3 penalties. End of rant.

I hear you AA. Loud and clear. If I didn't know better, I would've thought there was a 7 year old controlling Tebow. I get that he was trying to show "wide-open gameplay" and "user celebrations", but come on, this isn't Childhood Backyard Legends Football (I totally made that title up in case any of you were going to check it out).

When he toggled it over to Freshman everyone here at OS should have just shut the vid down instantaneously, very little was going to be gained from observing that.

I'm getting the feeling though that the Freshman setting had nothing to do with the blazing fast speed of the gameplay though. I think they souped it up big time.

For a second I thought you were yelling at me, then I remembered Peter Moore >_<

LOL. Actually the Earth moved down and Tebow levitated so Harvin could appear to be picking him up.

How foolish of me. I should have suspected as much, no mortal human could actually life The Tebow from the ground.
