What part of "EA Sports is not legally allowed to use player likenesses" have you missed?

This is due to WR's having High "Route Running" rating in the Demo/Default Roster, which is increased greatly to produce high OVR rated WR's, which are needed for the teams OVR rating to be rated as A's.

It causes WR/TE/RB's to change direction on a dime within there routes.
When edited 60'ish or below, routes aren't so crisp and sometimes rounded.
-Most in-game generated WR Recruits will rate Low - Mid Route Running unless they've changed something. (this is a good thing)

You just need to lower this particular rating.

Im having this problem to, its like i cant even stop it either every single player on my team gets blocked and knocked to the ground and he hurdles over them and he either score or gets caught down the field on a long gain

its starting to get a little aggravating

Keep practicing. My first heisman game against bama that happened, the second time I played them on heisman I shut them out and won in OT

just got home from work. some quick things i noticed about the demo.

-cpu logic was weird. they called 2 consecutive timeouts in the third qtr when i was driving. score was 7-0. doesn't make much sense to me. not sure if it's because of the 2 min qtrs or what.

-cpu qb holds the ball way too long. racked up 6 sacks solely because the qb wouldn't get rid of the ball. (fsu (me) vs bama)

-lb swatting is still prevalent. really annoying.

-the play call screen was kind of hard to get used to. not sure how i like the 3 button mode...hoping there is a way to switch this once the actual game comes out. not a huge deal...just different.

-control feels really good imo. you can definitely tell the suction tackling, blocking, etc are toned down or removed completely. i was playing as the RE and i could "feel" my player responding to my stick movements. could mean so much for online play.

-had no issues with kick returns last year (was able to return quite a few actually) but punt return sucked last year. from the few punts in my first game i could def tell they tweaked it and it should be fairly realistic again.

-didn't really notice psychic dbs but i wasn't really paying attention. moreso watching the line interaction.

given all that, i like the feel of this game. they just need to iron out some of the bugs and i think this could be a decent game.

not sure why people are saying trent richardson is unstoppable. in my first game he only had like 20 yards. probably because i scored first and by the time bama had the ball they were playing from behind. but he didn't seem unstoppable to me.

Oh, and I can definitely confirm what Skillz was saying about the CPU scrambling more on AA. I played my first AA game, won 21-0 against FSU with Bama, but Manuel scrambled 5 times in the game for positive yards, in comparison, I saw TWO scrambles, only TWO in 8 whole games on heisman mode

I think Heisman mode, overall, is a better challenge right now but I really hope EA tunes this so the CPU still scrambles on heisman
