there are psychic DBs. one of mine picked off a streak play without ever looking back. he just jumped up and snagged it. only saw it happen once. and without replay, it's impossible to say whether or not he looked back previously and was able to see the ball in the air. but in the short auto replay, he only looked back as he was leaping for the ball. also, he was in front of the receiver running stride fro stride, so he had no indicators there.

Once, on PS3, I saw half of Bama's players light up like a candle. I guess the didn't know the time of day changes each quarter.lol

Same with me. My 360 crapped the bed for the 5th time and I just said forget it and bought a ps3. I am also wondering if a developer would comment on why the ps3 version is so inferior??

Well I can already tell I'm not going to be playing on Heisman without some slider tweaks. Too many big plays for TDs. Both for the CPU and for myself.

Well, hopefully there is a very slow speed in the retail version because the game is to fast for my eyes. Game definitely has improved from last year graphically, I do like the ESPN overlays and 3d grass and know how hard it is to replicate grass in a 3d environment so I have to give EA serious credit for that.
Unfortunately that's where the good ends for me other then the tackling which does feel a lot better (no suction, yay!). The player movement is really bad and maybe that is because it seems really sped up to me but the sliding and turning on a dime has got to go.

I truly hope next year momentum is put in because this game desperately needs it. I don't want to call it an arcade game like some people are because this is very much a simulation but the movement, to me at least, feels like an arcade game. It's a shame because they did get a lot right this year.
I liked '11' and again '12' is a good step forward but I really hope they introduce better movement/momentum next year. I have faith, or at least I am going to keep telling myself that! Going to go play a few more games to see if I can get my eyes to sync up with the on screen action....

Doesn't seem too zoomed out to me, I think it is fine where it is.

Exactly when else could you even see grass? Considering the angle you play the game from, it would be impossible to see anyway.

Hmmm, I accidentally pitched the ball so it was a fumble. My wide receiver, who wasn't down, touched the ball and they blew it dead. I could have sworn that you can pick it up and run with it, or is this something I missed?
