I thought I read somewhere that the graphics have been toned down this year? Graphically, does this game look better or worse than '08?

I don't know where people said there is no defensive rush, i got sacked by LSU 4 times in my last game, they were all over me. Maybe it's that stupid Jump the SNap feature though like AuburnAlumni said.

this is definitely better than last year by a lot.

the good
1. the receivers finally realize where they are on the field. they don't start catch animations that will carry them out of bounds anymore. i cant tell you how many times the computer has forfeited huge plays on me in the past because of this.
2. running with the ball felt good animations were much more fluid than last year.
3. passing seemed good too i feel like playing on the higher difficulties will make it more of a challenge when the full game ships.

the bad.

my on huge problem is that even on varsity it looks like the same problem as last year where the cpu qb will throw very few incomplete passes that are not interceptions. i felt powerless on third down to stop lsu. if i blitzed someone was wide open running across the middle, if i stayed back they had all day to throw and someone eventually ran free. this is my only real problem so far idk if this can be fixed by sliders or playing on a higher difficulty but if not i see myself eventually getting fed up with it this year.


overall very good except for the cpu qb never throwing a bad pass that just falls incomplete.

So I far I've enjoyed the demo. Its solid and has me even more pumped for the full game and online dynasties. I just hope its not so easy to pick defenses apart on the higher difficulties because I went 14/14 one game lol.

On the sounds from the band, I didn't hear them at all during the game. IDK, I might have gotten something screwed up on my download because of the clock glitch I'm getting. I'll download it again to see if it will work.

Otherwise it's a great game, I just didn't hear the band after big stops and turnovers.

better by a good margin. the players all look much better than last year. i couldn't tell the difference between a kicker and a lineman last year they all had the same body type. this year the players all seem to be modeled much better.
