But other than that, nothing that sliders shouldn't be able to fix (passing %, lack of pressure on QB's)

I suck at running too and I had the '08 version for the PS3. I also sucked running the ball in that game as well lol.

I've just played the demo for the first time today and must say that I am EXTREMLY impressed. The only bad thing was the high pass completion percentage but at varsity I'm kind of expecting that. Does anyone know why they aren't defaulting to the vision cone? I love this feature and using the default passing stinks, it feels so 90's.

Pretty good except i've really to see how good the running truly is. I havent been able to do much with it even though with 08 I was always a threat when running the ball. But this isn't 08 so..

Plus I thought it was kind of funny that the players on the sidelines were the actual football players during the mascot game.

That is good to hear. I haven't seen a whole lot of penalties called, a few pass interference calls and one or two hold on returns, but no facemasks yet.

I hate the fake snap in this game. There is no reason to have the camera jump like that in a single player game and really detracts from virtual reality I am trying to enjoy. It so distracting that I normally just snap the ball without using it.

Yes! You are totally right. It is much harder to manually defend in this game.
