The retail version may be better, but I doubt it. They are going to have to tweak something else to fix this, which will subsequently effect other aspects of gameplay. RHOMBIC of NCAA strategies scored 68 points on this demo by abusing this horrific pass defensive AI and recovering droves of onside kicks which is far too easy. Cheers

The only problem is how does Rhombic come to a conclusion based on the demo something is broken?

I think more guys need to take into consideration this is just a demo instead of going full speed ahead and assuming this how the game will be in the retail version. Now i know EA has a history of releasing certain games broken.....but this game IMO appears to be really solid

I would also like to point out on the retail version you can fine tune the pass defense with sliders....you know like jack up the CPU to 100 awareness if you like.

There's like several things you can do to make the pasing game more difficult if you so choose.....but I think the best thing we can all do is just waite for the retail version 1st instead of attempting a deep pass on every play or trying on side kicks every kick off

I was playing as Clemson against Mizzou's no huddle, on I noticed on several occasions that Mizzou would bring in as many as 4 CBs at wide receiver late in their drives.

Seemed to me they would sub in their CBs when their WRs were tired. Seems pretty dumb, but hopefully it's not that way in the final retail version. I guess substitution sliders could fix this as well.

I find it absurd you think something as complicated as pass defense would be tweaked still with the game out on demo and likely being printed

we heard today that they are able to tweak the game even after it releases without using patches

thats adjustment to sliders, not code. bad code requires patching.
