Most of the passes are over the shoulder catches and if you lead them theyll stretch out to catch. Not much variation but you hardly notice because of the utter chaos going on around you which really simulates really being on a footbal field.

Are you guys noticing the differences in player ratings and abilities to make the game feel really dynamic or do you think everyone seems to be performing more on a linear platform?

You do notice differences in players speed and abilities. You can tell the difference in the average and good players QB the most prevailiant

I have defiantly noticed a difference in the players and their abilities. In one of the other threads they gave an overview of each team in the demo and from what I have seen each team and player they talked about in that overview plays pretty much exactly how they described them.

For example it talked about the QB for the Cougars team being a great QB. When I played with them I could defiantly tell he was more accurate and was a better QB than the other ones in the demo.

The others positions besides QB seem to be a little less pronounced in terms of differentiating players, but you can still notice the difference.

Thx man...appreciate that..Yeah, the only time I'll notice is during highlights, thats where I'm concerned. Sounds like it feels right, besides a few details to be ironed out, (some of the stiff looking moves, for example) sounds like they started on the right foot.

My internet is...Wow...Love it. Got it already, thx again.

I don't get the demo til Tuesday (PS3). I fully expect the 360 users to be past the euphoria by then and breaking down all the issues with the AI, etc...

I still can not throw a lob pass. How are you guys pulling it off? (That's what she said)

[fikedemon]

Yeah it takes getting use to. Your first reaction is to hold down and then up but you really tap the stick down and up.

saw an option for player lock (any player) but did not try

some WOW moments... love the camera, love the stick controls.. all a little sparse but graphics still look better than any sports game yet (although not as realistic) and the physics engine is just OMG, insane.
