That's the ticket. Breathe in the positives and breathe out the negatives. Its time for the users on this forum to cleanse our bodies of the negative toxins in this game.

EXAMPLES:

NEG - WVU and Tenn uniforms are off color
POS - Well at least they are wearing uniforms

NEG - Pass rush sucks
POS - Well, at least we can still get sacks 50% of the time on ****ty screen passes

"Great job running the football by this guy"-gotta love that line

I had to watch this as a WV fan and there really wasn't much positive that I saw. Not much atmosphere and then a few gameplay things that worried me...

3:55, QB standing with 20 yards of open space in front of him, and instead of scrambling forward he stands there and takes a sack. It seems like sacks are going to be 'coverage sacks' and not from actual pressure this year, except on screens.

4:10-swing pass to HB at about 100 mph under pressure falling back (somebody mentioned this already, but it's pretty annoying and worth another mention. Most HBs couldn't catch a bullet like that and no QB could throw that hard)

Some of the incompletions that aren't deflected seem to be somewhat forced... the routes aren't opened yet, the QB isn't really being hurried, but he throws it in 2 seconds anyway. Then usually they are getting passes off very quickly anyway. There's only like one instance of this in this video, but the Florida one had a few more.

6:15 and 6:45- more perfect fastballs off balanced

There are 3 full possessions in the last 2 minutes, and they keep throwing short over the middle, like at 6:55 with only 14 seconds left and no timeouts, they throw quickly over the middle in bounds, hurry up and do it again with 8 seconds left, etc. No need to actual;y spike it since they can hurry to the line in no time with a new play called. I remember Madden on PS2 the CPU would always do fake spikes, I really hope it's not overdone this year.

absolutely NO pressure. I don't care if neither team has a great pass rush, those QBs could have had a minute back there. And what's with only rushing 3, I mean I know at the end it was more of a prevent D, but with 3 down linemen, you usually send at least one extra guy, the point being that the QB won't know where that extra guy is coming from.

Also no way UL scores 28 on WVU in a single half next year. Pshhh and no way their QB is that good.

Well, I'd say how bad that was, but I'm glad everyone's done it already. The bad passes must be on some formula where it's just every once in....9 throws, there's gonna be a horrible one. That strike over the middle into double coverage is pretty terrible. The next play is almost as bad...the TE must get zoned backwards because he is running and suddenly backs up a yard or so to make the catch on the ball behind him. That's a completely horrible animation.

The plays with no pass rush don't bother me too much. They all seemed to be with a 3 man rush. 3 DL against 5 OL shouldn't equal much pressure. The bad part is that someone always gets open despite there being 8 to cover 5, although I guess if you have long enough that would happen. The QBs not taking off to run where there is no one in front of them is pitiful. He just stood there and waited until he got sacked instead of running for 10 yards. Sad. Screens look worse and worse every time I see them.

The fake spike pass to the RB...apart from the fact that RBs are going to lead every team in receptions it appears, the defenders running into eachother to allow a TD is a scary reminder of the abominable defense from last year.

This is the one more bad video I needed to confirm I am not buying this. I'll see how everyone feels about it after a patch comes out to fix all this junk, and I would really hope there would be. Without singling anyone out, I am baffled anyone looked at that and saw it positively as a whole. I wish my standards for the game were low enough that this video met them. That's very...impressive?

Barring some big price reduction which won't happen, I can't see how this is worth it....and there are still 2 videos I haven't seen yet. Some human vs AI videos need to pop up, and they'd better be beyond spectacular to change my mind at this point. Devs should probably consider not letting us see anything about this game pre-release. Hope springs eternal but they's squashing my hope.

Agreed. Nothing I've seen warrants praise, yet I still see it.

Why does it matter? You're opinion is that the game looks terrible. I'm looking forward to it. Why should I try and change your mind?

I mean, lets be honest...if I tell you why I'm looking forward to the game, then I'll have person after person (ok maybe only a handful) jump my case and tell me how wrong I am, how my expectations are low, why I'm the reason the game is in the shape that it is, call me a fanboy, say that I'm a sheep, etc....etc...etc..

Read thru this thread in particular....claims such as those are already being made in general statements.

Whats the point? I like it...I'm spending my $60 on it...why can't people accept that?
