There's only 3 minutes left in the game, so they don't want you to run out the clock.

Awesome little things I noticed:

-Crowd will show disappointment
-Coaches will chew out.talk to players
-Muffed punts


Has anybody seen a blocked FG/PAT/Punt?

Am I the only one who thinks the fields look like crap? I mean the replays are cool but when actual playing the fields look bad. Especially the Texas field. Its pixalated to me on the field logos. Anyone else find the fields crappy looking? Maybe im just spoiled from playing MLB The Show and how amazing that game looks. Maybe ill download the demo on my ps3 and see if it looks better then the 360

My one time honest impression of this game.

My impression of this game is I don't like it at all. I am not at all tempted to buy it. Very dull and boring. The game looks bare graphically, and to be honest at times borders a ps2 type of a look. The 3d grass is even more terribly implemented then I thought it would be. It doesnt blend or flow at all with the old blotchy grass we have had for the past5-6 years. The tackling felt a bit better, and I did notice double hit tackles. Suction tackling was much better. The passing game seamed wack. On one play, I couldn't make throws that even I in real life could make, yet on the next play I could heave the ball beautifully 40 yards for a grab. The game just didnt make since to me, an I am a sim player who likes challenges. I dont expect to make a first down everytime, I dont want to make a first down everytimes, but there were times when I couldnt complete a 5 yard wide open pass standing still. Very weird game. I have a very hard time understanding how EA's football games get so much hype. I just don't see it. This game was extremely arcade football

Just played my third game, this time on Heisman. Played as Oregon at Texas.

Summary:

Score:
Texas (CPU)- 24
Oregon (me)- 14

I really loved the way Heisman felt. Texas took back a kick off on me, had a long run from the shotgun for a score, had a 7 play drive for 6, and hit a 50 yard field goal (which was the only annoyance).

Its hard to tell with the small quarter length, but I just liked the way Texas beat me. There didn't seem to be any "cheating" going on by the CPU which was cool. Missed coverages, a broken tackle, and nice blocking on their kick return were the only differences in the game. It felt really fluid, which is something I haven't said about NCAA in a long time.

I agree about the graphics. The fields look like absolute crap

Yes, that's what was on the PC uniform.

I wasn't a fan of last years demo so I didn't get the game but something about this years game feels good. I thought the running game was good and the passing game had its ups and downs. The biggest problem I had was sacks. I got sacked like 6-7 times by Oregon and probably another 4 times by Florida State. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if its the game but if I could fix the number of sacks in a game I think I would be all set.
