D-Line Jumping too high still. I get picked off a ton because of this

SMH The cpu does this way too much when they are running. And so far I haven't seen any defender push the pass blockers back into the backfield. they either get pancaked or they get by the pass blocker.

Are you guys playing on Heisman? b/c I see a big difference in CPU running between AA and Heisman.

Man I 'm really enjoying heisman is a nice and welcomed challenge .The prob I see with CPU running on heisman is that the cpu pancakes the dline way to often but I do like the pancake animations. Another thing on heisman CPU breaks on the ball a lil better than hum defenders. And CPU CB are a lilk too aggressive on the run. Overall i've seen a few minor issues but not any that just stand out as WTF this game is crap. I think minor sliding tweaking will make this game alot of fun. B/C i'm having fun with the demo. Def more fun than I had with 11. Just a much more polished game IMO.

I'm not expecting to be able to run every down with the QB, but occasionally I should be able to get a defender to bite on the HB run and keep it for some yardage.

Well, because I still struggle with both the read on the read option, and then sometimes actually getting the hand off to work when I want it to, I had my QB keep it a few times and I think he was about +6 yards once, line of scrimmage once and loss of yards once.

Bah! Give me a straight up pro-style offense any day. :-)

Still so mad that the Burnt Orange is not the correct shade and how crappy the field looks. Pixalated BIG 12 logo looks like dog crap. I play on a great TV so I know its not that. Im hearing pleanty of others upset with this as well. MLB The Show looks amazing on my TV then i turn my xbox on to play this demo and I feel like in playing an OG xbox game. SUper dissapointed in how awful the field looks. Maybe ill download the ps3 demo and see if its any better

I'd like an explanation on the programming/AI when it comes to a play like this;

Seriously it looked so awkward how the HB who had the clear path to the endzone straight ahead, decides to cut on a dime and sprint left towards the sideline.

Was it an attempt to chew the clock?

right on. the orange is off. maybe UT won't allow them to use burnt orange? Of course, in all fairness to EA, the orange on the field @ the real DKR is not really burnt orange either....

i noticed the big 12 logo too, lame..

I've only played one game of the Demo, but my initial impressions are mostly positive. I like the graphics, the tackling animations, the run blocking and inaccurate throws by myself and the CPU.

Same here. Richardson gashed me for a couple of huge runs today and it was a thing of beauty.
