The game plays a LOT faster and you get burned a lot more for blitzing wrong.

It is also a lot harder to freelance with the FS. Cheating underneath and getting deep is playing with fire. No more of the trailing defender can catch or knock down 95% of deep balls.

We desperately need some sliders for run blocking. I like the improvements, but the pancakes were out of control with Bama vs FSU.

QBs in the backfield seem to operate a little quicker, they shrug off tacklers, take off after a read option keeper and don't seem stuck in elongated animations like last year.

The no-huddle glitch is back, where the CPU doesn't huddle, the playcall screen pops up but you can't change plays, audible or even move your player before the snap.

That's exactly why I don't like it. Maybe I just need to get use to it, but I felt last year's was easier to navigate.

I love the "male parts" compensation talk going on this thread about how the game is too easy for them.

Find a good mode for you and the right pair of sliders and play the game where it is at a difficulty level you are comfortable with. No need to have 200 comments about how "below you" playing on default Varsity or All-American is.

its amazing that companies continue to basically stiff arm PS3 users by releasing everything to Xbox people first. Its annoying on COD that we always have to wait a month after the xbox people to get new map packs.

Kick returns weren't impossible at all. A good speed returner with solid blockers usually sprung 2-4 a season for me.

Punt returns on the other hand were pretty rare except against the C- or worse teams.

This isn't the same thing at all. Xbox updates in the morning. PSN in the afternoon. It's been like that forever.

IMO the BS from Heisman always seems toned down in the demos, but upon release I see the same ole Heisman BS! That's just something that I personally observe. I can't really chime in about 12 yet since i'm on the PS3 but hopefully the BS is toned down in the retail version also.
