To me it kind of brings the game alive in a different kind of way. Kind of goes to show how important being online is for the game.

I think this is an example of a feature that is a good idea/concept, but isn't fully executed correctly. The idea that the game judges sportsmanship is a good one--it's the same thing the media would do in real life (if a team is throwing deep late in a game while blowing out their opponent, you'll hear the criticism on SportsCenter).

The problem is just that the way the game judges is too simplistic, and unfairly penalizes certain teams. For instance, if you're running an Air Raid offense, short/medium passes are your bread and butter and the usual way you gain first downs or maintain possession. Most Air Raid teams have lackluster running games and few rushing plays to choose from. With a lead late in a game, an Air Raid team gets a sportsmanship penalty for every 4-yard completion on a crossing route, even though that is the normal (and maybe only) way that team moves the ball. It's not as if they're trying to run up the score, they just don't trust the running game at all. The game needs to take stuff like this into account when it judges whether or not something is "good sportsmanship," rather than simply applying the formula "Any late pass with lead = bad person".

I can confirm that the PS3 does have the uni degredation, at least in heavy rain. Playing VT @ UM and in the first Q after running Graig Cooper about 5 times his pants and jersey got some stains on them. Will need to see if it happens on a non rain/light rain day.

The CPU/AI still has no clue about clock management, But I have seen them fake hike a few times now in fact alot compared to years past as it was none. And I 've seen CPU lineman jump offside, amazing.

Yay!! Ponder had 5 INTs. Wow! 3 were in the redzone. This was the most TO's I have had in a single game. I did see Cox and Allen both hit their stride when the hit the second level. However, it was very quick because the safeties closed in pretty quickly. Very fun (and agonizing) game in the rain at Doak. Again, this was played on Varsity sliders that we use in the OS Legends OD. This game was for you taternuts.

There's hope for you yet. Except stop trying to discredit Ponder with your poor stick skills. We don't take kindly to that.

What needs to be amended still, sliderwise or other?

Any word on whether any progression AWR issues have been fixed? Also are they planning on fixing this anymore at all?

PS3, and I have seen unis in both medium and light rain.

Medium was much more substantial, and in light rain it was still there, but not as much dirt. I only played 1-2 min qrts to test, gave the ball to the RB every play.
