I find it hilarious that NONE of the shotgun formations in my Horns' playbook will be in my custom playbook.

I just had 3 dominating performances against the CPU on Heisman.. Sliders will definitely be needed in certain areas for the CPU to compete with me.. But the CPU pancake blocks were pretty bad sometimes with my whole Dline getting planted on there back.. Gotta definitely tweak that area too.. Other then that the game seem pretty good to me..

I really hope the number of pancakes in the retail version is tuned. Way too many times all of my linemen are on the ground seconds after the snap. Loving the new pass defense though so glad I can finally play zone this year without getting burnt all the time.

I'll post my full impressions later but one thing I did notice is when I first played the Texas v Oregon matchup I believe Lowes was the sponsor and the second time it was Nissan. I would be absolutely impressed if there are about 5-10 sponsorships that rotate. To me that just adds so much to the presentation.

Speaking if rotating I have already seen to different player of the game animations at the end of the game which is awesome because the only one I remember is the standing on the bench one last year.

When it comes to presentation if both of those have multiple varying animations/sponsors on a game to game basis that would be huge for presentation.

It would be nice if when each patch/tuner set came out they added a few more each time just to add to variety.

"playing on heisman:

the AI acts like they don't know what situation they are in. 4th & 15 with 20 seconds left in the 2nd, i decide to go for it. the AI sends the entire front 7, no help over top. Then all the CBs try to jam the WRs and got beat. (Not a smart Play call)

4th and 22 with 7 seconds left, they send the house again (and they're up by a TD) and I score.

I will say, O-line and D-line play still hasn't gotten better for the user. I sent the house vs a running play and EVERY SINGLE LB AND D-LINEMAN GOT PANCAKED (I was so hurt i couldn't find the replay button).

Also, the PA still seems broke, that's kind of a turn off lol"

I checked it is the same problem as last year. The AI blitzes too much that kills the PA and also results in very foolish calls by the defense. This can be improved by team coaching sliders in dynasty, however, I would love it if EA would actually make a "Year of the AI" and actually make an intelligent coaching AI.

I just had a fun game using Oregon on Heisman. First time I used them I pretty much did a lot of passing. This game though I did a lot of running. I called a QB draw on 3rd and medium and ended up taking it 57 yards untouched. Then I ran a HB draw later on that probably might have gone for a TD, but I made the wrong cut and only got a few yards.

Shotgun running for both the User and CPU seems great on Heisman to me. CPU could be a bit stronger, but I am liking this the more I play it.

Can you do that? I was thinking about doing the same but haven't decided yet. Going to play a few more games first.
