The only time the CPU ever got me was when they jumped the snap. I NEVER got any decent pressure with a 4 man rush..not with LSU and not with Ohio State and I always play as the DT too.

Like I said...the run game is a thing of beauty, both offensively and defensively. The passing game? Heavily skewed in favor of the O it seems..at least on the demo.

I could score at will just dropping back and throwing 5-15 yard routes all day long..against two VERY good defenses. Hopefully it's just a demo/varsity thing and sliders can correct some of the "wide open" gameplay.

Have time to move DL/LB/CB's only or do you have time to do an individual player hot route. Now I'm not talking about hot routing a whole d but rather quickly seeing a whole and wanting to hot route a LB to a zone as an example. I'm assuming there isn't enough time for this unless playing a human. If so it's no real biggie vs CPU I guess.

You'd be cutting it close Sky. But honestly, I don't see it being THAT big of an issue. The bigger issue is the lack of pass rush/overeffective short passing game IMO.

Hey guys, Im a huge playbook guy. What new formations/plays are yall really liking this year?

[bkfount]

anyone else finding kick returns too easy? I had back to back to back KR's for TD's in two games. If you were good at returns before, it seems like you will be a god when this game comes out. I just did what I normally do which is pick a lane, then spin from a guy and sprinted down the sidelines. It was too easy.

Then when the cpu ran one back on me, it was because most of my guys got bunched into a crowd and couldn't get to him, due to animations.

The playbooks are AWESOME. Sooooo many formations/plays to choose from. You can get a really nice offensive package together for sure.

Cool. I don't know why I'm concerned about the hot routing like I am as I very rarely hot route on D. I think it just irks me that it's a "feature" that is useless vs CPU. Hopefully the pass rush ends up being better in the final game.
Also I CAN"T WAIT TO GET THE F OUT Of HERE SO I CAN PLAY!...

There, I feel better.
