So far i have seen many videos and i havent seen more than 2 overthrows in the entire videos i have seen. how about the demo?

So far on Heisman, I've noticed that the CPU will throw it away/overthrow when pressured.

Special teams

Special teams for the human is great, returned a kick off and punt back for a TD. Special teams for the CPU however is terrible. Their blocking isn't good and the cpu runs directly up the middle into the crowd.

Blitzing

Blitzing is an automatic sack. I sacked Thomas 7 times. Linebackers come through the line with ease running 3.8 speed. I was like DAMN. RB don't pick up the blitz and I seen multiple occassion where 2 offensive linemen just stand there clueless letting people run right past them

QB AI

They only move when they sense pressure. Thomas only scrambled once, but for some reason that idiot stopped running when he had WIDE OPEN FIELD in front of him. He just stood and got hit from behind.

CPU Running game

Oregon couldn't run for crap against me. I stuffed all their running attempts for 5 and 6 yard losts. Shotgun running is horrible. Read option is horrible. Screen plays is horrible, half the time the QB threw the ball 3 yards behind the RB into the ground.

Slants and verticals

I completed all of them. Maybe Oregon secondary is just bad.

Tackling

Didn't seem hard to me at all. Sound effects on tackling is too weak.

Ball release

Seems too fast coming out of QBs hands no matter if they are stationary or moving and throwing. Same thing with trajectory. Way too easy to complete passes down the field running around with the QB.

Game tracks

Nice

Intro

Texas intro is weak and boring. That is something you definitely will be skipping.

Everything for the human seems good. The CPU on All American however have issues with running logic, blocking logic and play calling.

I seen them call some dumb plays when they were down big. And even more dumb plays when something obviously wasn't working for them.

No huddle exploit ! Instant cheese !

This year if you call the no huddle, you can get offsides called majority of the time because the defensive line takes too long getting off the ground and back on to their side of the ball.

Seen offsides called 6 times just from running the no huddle.

Heard some new lines from our beloved announcers.

After watching my roommate play 7 games so far, I can definitely vouch for everything Skillz just said, except for the special teams returns (havent seen a big return yet).

I have seen all four defenses consistently get burned by vertical/skinny post/slant routes in zone. Like all day, every day, automatic. I already said how bad the CPU shotgun running is, its almost worse than last year.

I think the CPU scrambling is a bit better but still needs more work.

[BFig]

The game so much better then last year. The tackling, the presentation, everything is so much better. But you the rosters are gonna be very messed up when LaMicheal James has dreads haha.

For the people talking about the human running from the shotgun/spread/zone read. Is the only diffrence just that it auctally works now if u read it right?

[Gotmadskillzson]

Yeah you definitely don't want to blitz. That is a money play against the CPU. They can't pick up the blitz for crap. Hell they don't even try too.

And it isn't just one blitzer coming through, IT IS ALL OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME, MAKING IT TO THE QB AT THE SAME TIME IN SYNCHRONIZATION

It's like they snap the ball, it all blitzers turn into Usain Bolt and get past the offensive line like they don't even exist. And make it to the QB in 2 seconds.
