I've played about 10 games so far. I think Heisman is the way to go with everything on default. I still haven't beat Bama. I much more ready for July 9th now. Can't wait to start the online dynasty I'm in!

Just had a 3 OT as Oregon vs TAMU

Through 3 quarters we couldn't move the ball then all of the sudden the lights clicked on and we couldn't stop each other lol.

I got the 2pt conversion and won the game. It was sweet

Loving Heisman on both offense and Defense. Have yet to run into a super linebacker, no cheese at all, this game just feels like real football. The line interactions are miles ahead of anything we've ever seen in this series before.

Geez I ALMOST beat bama. It was 7-7 with like 19 second left. I debated whether to call a play or let time run down. So I ran a play, THEN called a TO. wHAT DO YOU KNOW. There were like 12 seconds left. Kick a FG. tHEN FOR SOME REASON i DO A NORMAL KICKOFF. bAMA returns it all the way. gREAT RETURN THO. jUST AMAZING RETURNING IN THIS GAME. sO THEN i'M DOWN 14-10. cALL A 4 VERTS PLAY. bAMA PICKS OFF THE BALL. tHEN THEY COME OUT AND KNEEL TO END THE GAME. iN MY OTHER GAME i LOST 13-0 AS tamu TO oREGON. pLAYING ON hEISMAN DIFFICULTY NO SLIDERS btw. tHIS IS A N8ICE GAME. nOW i'M GOING TO PLAY ncaa 13 DYNASTY MODE LOL. i HOPE i DON'T IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF MY CONSOLE.

I'm having outstanding games on default AA. No single area stands out as needing to be slider tweaked....which is a great thing. Still in awe at how good this demo is.

Game plays the same as the last 5 years to me.

I couldn't agree less with this. It feels like a completely different game. I am actually finding myself on a learning curve with this game.

Reading this gave me a headache. Dude, for real, lay off the caps lock.

Ive played a few games

PROS: I can finally play defensive line without my defensive end or outside linebacker getting blocked flat on their face! Offensive line blocking is good, line play overall is really improved.
Foot-planting and juking is pretty good
IE2: Nice to see some good gang tackling and stiff arms are back no more chicken wing stiff arm!

CONS: Running animations are still bad, still Taz Mainian Devil running with ball carriers leaning forward in the open field, ball carriers strides are too short, only a few running styles, only one style of carrying the ball, and the ball looks too big in arms when carrying it.
Open field/one-on-one tackling is way too good (I suppose sliders can improve this), need more tackling animations.
No Wr/Db interaction-(its like they are both going out for the pass and don't recognize each other.)
Crowd animations don't match the noise: the crowd gets really loud but if you look at the crowd they are not doing much of anything.
And the button based passing game is stale, they need to change up the passing controls bad, we need something new and fresh.

OVERALL: Pretty good, the best in the series this gen for sure, it seems to be headed in the right direction but the still have a long way to go.
