CPU Darron Thomas just bolted for a 57 yard TD run. WOW!

As he crossed the goal line, he flipped the ball over his head and start shaking his hands in the air almost waving to the crowd. What a run. I still can't believe it.

Sweet, I'm glad I'm not the only one having trouble with the playcalling scroll being different.

By the way, just out of curiosity and since I'm new here, I've noticed tons of people with NCAA pics and fandom. Just wondering how many other people graduated from the school that they are fans of on here (I got my undergrad from UK).

That tends to happen in a College football forum

I played four games this morning and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

The dive catches are pretty awesome but there was some negative there as well. On one pass, the outside receiver on the right side of the field ran a post. I threw the ball to him and he made a beautiful diving catch, that was necessary, for the completion (User Controlled). Later on in the game, I threw the ball to the tight end and it went straight to him, no dive necessary, and he slowed down to dive anyways, allowing the Linebacker to pick it off (AI Controlled).

Play Action passes worked very well for me. The AI only hit me twice directly after the fake, one was a blitz, the other wasn't. However, I was able to use the play action several times successfully without having to rush the ball out.

Tackling was very much improved. It was nice being able to stop the running back short of the line and a stupid animation didn't start that carried him passed it for no reason. Also, broken tackles look much more realistic and fluid and the way tackles branch out is amazing.

I did not have a problem with Psychic DBs at all. I ran a few curl routes to test it out, and the defensive backs were not mirror images of the WRs.

Yeah, point taken. I was just using that to ask where everyone here went to school.
