The bad:
pontiac drive summary on the kick - 1 play 0 yards (bug)
3 ints in 3 possessions (cpu threw)
3 players injured, including my starting qb, their starting kick returner, their starting qb (in the first half)
no line of scrimmage (I really hope this is an option)
backup qb threw a turnaround across his body strike to a player 30 yards up the field (stupid, he ran for a td too)
herbstreit said "With 4th down coming up..." when it was 2nd
really bad dropping back animation - gets stuck (it looks like he gets stuck in this animation and then throws it)
the team graphics behind the formation chart at the top make chart impossible to read

The good:
package is shown immediately
gameplay is fluid
tackling animations are finally up to date

Quick comparison.

The games look identical, move at the same speed, and if you didn't see the controller buttons on screen, no one could tell the difference. If that sets anyone's mind at ease.

Edit - I did notice something, there seems to be a little hiccup on the PS3 from playcall to line of scrimmage. Not nearly as bad as last year, but it's a slight hiccup.

( Click on the text below to view the video) Also remember that the demo is on Varsity, which means there will be some unrealistic things in the video. Overall, I think the game is much better from the demo. The weight/feel of the ball carrier is much improved over 08. Enjoy the Videos! 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter You can also check my videos out at the Media Blitz

In the first quarter video #93 appears to closeline the ohio st. runningback LOL! That dirty bastard!

did no one catch what I said back on page 21. Does that issue about this game bother anyone?

Ok, I have both versions up and playing them side by side.

The 360 version is slightly better looking, you'd have to have both up and going to notice though. I mean, SLIGHTLY. The PS3 version looks just a little bit blurrier. Looking at it closer, it's the colors, they are just brighter and more vibrant on the 360.

The speed is the same. Both feel identical. The stuttering I mentioned before is with the OL as they walk up to the line. It doesn't affect play.

This is only after a few mins with the PS3 version, but playing them side by side gives you a pretty fair look at the 2.

It's a great game on both systems, and as I said, if you saw either one sans the buttons, you could never tell the difference IMO.
