Nice. Is this in the manual when the game ships?

The manual is within the game this year. You can access it from the main screen of the game. Having said that, I'm not sure if this is in the manual or not. I'll check and see.

Not sure. I personally have not noticed any. I'm pretty sure they're gone, but not positive.

Anybody else find themselves playing on Very Slow?

And I just going to chalk it up to the lack of commentary, but the game felt very dry to me. Why did they remove commentary from the demo anyway?? They had it in last years' 5 min qtr demo..

Glad they changed the kick meter. Kicks shouldn't be automatic. The right stick way was too easy, just about all of my missed FG were short with that method. Very few missed wide.

Because they put other things into the demo to show people the new changes such as the different camera angles, stuff like that. There's a limit on how big demos can be and adding commentary probably would have put it over. We all know how the commentary sounds, better to add some of the newer stuff that we haven't seen yet.

Just a quick question.... Where is this amazing 3D grass that they kept talking about and is in NCAA? So far after just one game it definitely plays a better game of football!

Impressions after a lot of games.


Pros : Wonderful graphics ... one of the most beautiful sports games. Played in very slow speed, make the game way better. No suction, weight seems to be a factor, new kicking meter ... love it. Good pressure by the Dline, OL/DL interactions are fine ... Presentation is improved (stats in-game ect...) ... realistic zone d. Fluidity when you score a TD ... no more "weird moment" before the celebration. Super LBs seem off (just see them one time, but is fine)


Cons : Halftime Show ... really ? Replays are too short & lack of "authenticity" . A little bit of skating here and here.




Replays should be like that (1min28)
