Absolutely not... there are plenty of drops.

I could have missed a post so this could be out of context, but the devs said they weren't adding a swat/jump/int button for the user, not that the DBs won't ever be able to try and swat the ball, that's what swaldo was referring to.

This was my understanding as well.

That's what I thought after playing the demo about 20 times. A swat button would be nice, as well as more swat attempts.

5 more days!

Thanks guys.

Yea, he mentioned "user" here is his actual quote...

"User Catch/picks/bats are not an easy addition to BB1."

Well, after reading it again I guess it's not 100% out of the question, but looks doubtfull. I think they have bigger issues to deal with if they patch.

So many people gushing about the positives, so I thought I would talk about the things that are big problems for me, and they tend to be similar issues in other football games:

1. There are way, way too many interceptions - thrown by both me and the CPU. I'm sure I can cut down on mine after I get a better feel for the passing game, but the CPU throwing them all the time on such short quarters is very disturbing.

2. The CPU can't run the ball very well. This seems to be something that no game can get right for some reason.

3. I see a lot of people taking linebackers wide and blitzing to have great success versus the pass. The CPU does not seem to make any blocking adjustments to avoid the problem.


On another note - how exactly do you pull off the stupid lob pass? I managed to do it one time, but it was a fluke because I have no idea what I did and it did not feel any different from the million other attempts. The picture makes it look like you pull back on the right stick and then either release it or push it up, but that does not work for me. Any tips on that aspect would be greatly appreciated.

I am getting the game, but if it was full price I probably wouldn't. $49.99 plus a $20 off card I got from Amazon for buying Red Dead make this a no-brainer if for nothing else than to have a new football game.
