I find myself talking with the commentary because I know the line by heart WAY too much. This is one of my area's of concern. One thing that I am disappointed at.. is the play by play. We made huge changes in how this is triggered and nobody has noticed. All I have seen reaction to is how the post-play is the same. On 08, it was "Takes the snap... looking for a man... fires it... pulls it in... tackled!" That isn't realistic and you won't hear that on 09. Oh well.

now that you mention it, i did notice that Brad wasn't so far behind on the play-by-play by stating every single action like in '08. but with the new grass, player models, and player control, i guess it got drowned out.

by the way I hope this is b/c its varsity but using the spin on kickoff returns make it too easy, I have had 3 returns for a TD and a couple close ones

I can almost guarantee that its varsity. I'm positive it won't be that easy on AA or Heisman.

This is OS. They don't know how to look for the positive before looking for the negative. They act more like game critics than gamers.

It was crazy easy to dominate passing...I could shred the D without even running a single run play.

I can just tell. The gameplay doesn't grab me at all...doesn't matter what level it's on. I popped in last years PS2 version right after playing the demo and it was like a breath of fresh air. In the "next gen" versions doesnt doesn't feel like you have total control of your men or the annimations are too scripted, like I said I can't put my finger on it...something just doesn't feel right and it's been the same on all "next gen" systems. It's almost like I'm just watching a game rather than playing it....
