It's not. Litty (and others) have said that it will be 'Normal' passing. Which means that power is taken care of and the player is in charge of direction.

Before I read through 13 pages (and I will soon, but I'm just curious about this right now) has anybody noticed that the "one-handed deke" from last year is gone? AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!!! Seriously. I couldn't stand that last year. The only time you see those is when someone rarely does them in shootouts. Soooo many times the one-handed animation screwed up my backhand shots etc...

So far, from what I've seen, the animation is gone. Anybody else notice or see otherwise? Thoughts?

Otherwise make sure you know what the consequences of doing the recovery would be for your friend. I'm not sure that it would cause your friend problems, but I have a suspicion that he might loose information when he re-recovers it on his xbox.

the game will be downloaded under your profile so even if its on your hard drive it wont work if he loads HIS profile, your profile needs to be on the HD with the demo and you load it at his house but cant give it to him

the guys that play on hardcore allstar/superstar....I know that the USER passing is realistic...how is the CPU passing? are they tape to tape like last year or do they also misfire on passes and use bank passes?

thanks

It is not, unfortunately. It will be the level down from that, Normal I believe.

I'm just as disappointed as you are. Passing is kind of my thing. It's how I got to play div. 1 last year. I am in no way a very skilled forward. If I ended up trying some of the things my teammates were doing, I ended up looking foolish. I was a valuable cog in the wheel because of my positioning, defence and most importantly my play making.

This would've really seperated the average passers from the great passers. It's too bad.

Love what I'm seeing from hardcore mode so far. Passing is superb.

Accidentally tripped Brad Stuart but after the play he came up to me and gave a face wash. He ended up getting a penalty as well when I didn't respond and just let him give it to me. Nice to see two different penalties on the same play sequence.
