Hahaha thanks guys. The Chuck Norris Approval lets me know the joke was classic.

Good stuff. I hope they add Texas Tech's wrinkle where the start with 2 RBs in the Shotgun and one of them sprints out toward the slot. They run a ton of plays of this, including thowing the bubble quickly to the motion man.

when did they say the demo would be released?

A lot of teams have overload I formations and neither the TE or LT can go out for a pass, though a tackle eligible would be an awesome wrinkle (especially for Alabama, considering our rich history when it comes to tackle eligible plays, i.e. Jerry Duncan and Andre Smith).

Looks great. Exciting to see the correct read option logic and blocking implemented in the game, especially since it's a big part of my favorite teams offense

Hopefully offense and defense are balanced as others have said, because if they are this game could be really good. Even if they aren't, the defensive sliders could be adjusted to make it more even.

Finally looks the next gen NCAA devs get it and are focusing on getting the fundamentals right. Wish it would have happened sooner, but still nice to see.

It doesn't matter what the scheme is, the rule is that you leave the end man on the line of scrimmage (within the box).

In a 3-4 you don't always option the outside linebacker (using the logic EA has described).

If you run an option to the weak side (no TE) and the DT/DE is playing a "5" technique on your Offensive Tackle, then he is the end man on the line if it's a true 3-4 with the OLB playing back.

in that case they would still pitch off the outside backer if it was a speed option, but yeah he would read the 5 technique if no tight end, on a zone read i'm sure
