How do you wrap tackle? Is it the same button as the dive button?

Took a webcam video for all the PS3 guys who don't have the demo yet. Shows the spread offense pretty well. Specifically, it shows my favorite formation so far: Wing Offset Weak w/ the HB Wideout package. Sorry for the video quality.

Darron Thomas feels like I'm just watching Darron Thomas. So fluid. I hope other "scrambling" QB's feel like this


unfortunately Robo-QB still sees to exist.

Can't wait to play this tonight, I am jealous of you 360 users. Probably a good thing it does not release until evening since I have class all day.

Designated QB runs and draws are effective. 4. Screens/ slip screens/ and WR screens/bubbles work. 5. Good job with inaccurate passes/incompletions. 6. Not seeing Psychic DBs. Read the D, find the open man or open spot in zone. 7. Deep ball not automatic. Cpu Offense: 1. Can run from single back sets. No big gains but, effective. 2. No QB scrambles yet. No runs out of shotgun (that I remember). 3. Will throw deep. Beat me on a pretty deep ball. 4. Throws a lot of picks. Cpu QB seems confused when you audible to a zone. 5. QB pretty nimble in pocket. Avoiding sacks, breaking tackles. 6. No quick throws right before a sack. No crazy spin throws. My Defense: 1. Lot of pressure/sacks with or without blitzing or setting D-line to aggressive. 2. Coverage sacks. Pressure from both ends. 3. Will jump offsides if d-line set to aggressive. 4. CBs pretty aggressive going for picks in man or zone. 5. I like the tackle button especially when going for a sack. Cpu defense: 1. Still blitz CBs too much. 2. CBs very aggressive vs. outside runs. In the backfield a little too quickly imo. 3. Zone D is good. Realistic. 4. Pass rush is effective. ...Weird cut scene. Texas is driving into field goal range and they cut to LaMichael James warming up kicking into the net...

Good post Bootzilla.

This bolded part really stood out to me but I wasn't for sure if anyone else saw it. I was Texas vs. CPU Oregon. Less than a minute left, tie game 7-7 with me driving around mid-field. They show a cut scene of Oregon #54 kicking the ball into the net on the sideline. Confused is the best way for me to describe how I felt at the moment.

Anyone else think that Man to Man Defense is too good? The DBs are sticking the receivers like rubber cement.

Very much so! Definitely going to take some adjusting for me. By the end of the game I was still consciously adjusting moving through the playcall screen.

Burned me a couple times vs the no huddle where I'm trying to select a play in the Dime formation by pressing right on the d-pad only to move over to 4-3

I did not notice this when playing.
