Will ALWAYS be in the game. Online has been fun for years and yes, nano blitz have always been there. Get in a league or play with people you know who do not exploit the game.

what are nano blitzes?

I like the way the demo plays. It feels better than NCAA 12 does. My biggest complaint is how easy the CPU and myself have been getting pressure and how useless zone coverage has been. Everytime I call zone coverage I get beat deep. My defenders just sit there as the receivers run right by them.

Blitzes that exploit the game by allowing the blitzer to reach the QB in under a second.


And the juke move depends on the speed and ability of your runningback. If you're running slow, itll be that hop juke. Faster and itll be a more subtle juke thats more effective

Demo plays great. Few problems like when running a no huddle one time i had all my receivers, rb, and qb in o-line or other postions. then o-line at qb, rb, and wr it was funny i ran the play regardless. Also during a lsu bama game i got stuck with their playbooks for my next game. kind of sucked.

A few more notes:

- I'm getting a ton of plays where the QB lines up way off-center. Hadn't noticed running all spread gun before but under center, he is way off.

- Passing is insanely easy. I'm cranking off passes between defenders on the run off my back foot and putting it on a dime. Reminds me of Wedding Crashers "I was first-team All-State, I'll make it rain out here."

- Onside kicks don't bounce at all. Tried about 6 times in a variety of locations.

- CPU threw a TD pass to a WR who landed BEYOND the white line in the end zone. Not even close. No review.

- Unfortunately, that's the only way the CPU can score on me. CPU passing is awful. If they get a good pass off, it's dropped. More often than not, they just launch a hail mary to get picked off.

- Offense is SO easy. Doesn't matter the team or offense. I've run 8 times for 150 yards in one half with Baylor's RB. 2 TD. That was running Wildcat and HB dive out of Strong/Weak. CPU run D is awful, players backpedal way too long and hardly react. I know we wanted the CPU to honor the play action pass which they never used to do, but this is crazy.

- Spin moves are incredibly easy. Juke moves are next to useless. The timing on those is weird all of a sudden.

- Still noticing a lot of psychic DB play, but ironically more in zone than man. They seem to be hedging towards exactly where the WR is going before he goes there. I notice it more on in routes than anything else.

- Still really bothered by slow down, lag and flickering on the PS3. Graphics are not even par.

Just a lot of really weird stuff going on in these games. The game itself feels really good, a lot better than normal and everything seems to flow very well, but I'm seeing some head scratching stuff.

OK. Makes sense.

Some of this I am (fanboyishly) attributing to the fact that this is a demo for a game that, to the best of my knowledge, is yet to go gold. It does have some kinks to be sure, but it is one of the most fun experiences I have had with current gen football games.
