I can't stand when people go this route. Nobody is asking for perfection. NFL 2K5 was far from perfect. But EA still can't touch that game in terms of gameplay/how players move and so forth.

I agree with the looking past thing, though. If you enjoy it, that's fantastic. But those that can't enjoy it are not looking for perfection. They want to see the game play a certain way where these players can say they are in control and are winning or losing based on their skills. Not by warping players, uber-agile/cut at 90° angle animations and so on.

I've only played 3 games. I started the first on varsity since I havent played NCAA since last OCtober.

First game I won 24-0 with FL against FSU...basically a waste of game since it was on varsity, no challenge at all.

Bumped it up to All American for the next 2.

I won 7-0 with Miami @ OSU, really 14-0 but dumb QB sneak failed 3 times from the one foot line and time ran out at the end of the game.

I won 3-0 with TExas against OU...my favorite game by far. The first play of the 4th, OU finally gets something going on offense, their WR bumps off an attempted arm tackle from my player and is streaking inside the ten and at the 5 yard line...my safety blind side hits him from the left and boom...fumble! I recover the fumble at the 5 and go like 90 yards to hit a chippy field goal to win it. This after Texas's QB and I had thrown 3 INT...nice redemption drive for him.

That said, I'm having fun...but uh...CPU...you can score too you know? I know I'm not this good on All American, must just be the short quarters and the teams I'm playing with. I'm gonna try the Missouri vs Clemson match up and hope that sees some more scoring in it.

They need the picking the grass out of their face mask animation!

played the demo for a while yesterday...didn't like it to much.

the player movement really put me off. it reminds me of how players moved back on the genesis.

time warping to catch the ball is still lingering around.

lack of gang tackling ....i just don't understand how this gets left out.

....with that said there will be some fun to be had with the game.

Well if you prefer the bonehead AI of backbreaker over a dull crowd, be my guest. Backbreaker is visually appealing, but it's complete failure in most other ways.

That's especially painful to watch if you've played Backbreaker. If Backbreaker does one thing well, it is this one ...

Well my impressions are... this is way better than anything released on this generation of consoles. If dynasty delivers, this is a first day purchase. Congrats EA for getting this one right (so far).
