I ain't buying unless it is fixed. Shouldn't be able to complete a pass with the setting at 0. Same old song and dance.

If its like last year then the fix us to lower QB ACC rating for QB's across the board and you will get great results trust me.

One small thing I really do love is, you load your game up but as its loading you decide to go grab a drink, and you come back to the game with it ready to go. Instead of it going into the game while you're gone, you get to hit A to go to the game.

Fortunately we have that option, but unfortunately I am not sure I got the time and patience to do that. EA needs to fix it the sliders.

I had QBA for User/CPU on zero and it was kind of hit or miss. Definitely not accurate for the user - but was for the CPU. Did not mess with PCV sliders though.

Yup. I've decided to stay on Heisman for the time being for the main reason that the CPU Run Defense AI against the Read Option is noticeable better at this level.

Here is what I'm currently tinkering with....


Heisman Difficulty all around

Speed Normal (I tried slow..it was nice..but just too slow for my taste)

Speed Threshold 20 (I really like this setting. Opens the game up a bit but not WIIIIIIIIIDE OPEN (shout out to NCAA 09) )

Everything default EXCEPT....

QB Accuracy (Human 10, CPU 5)....like Matt10 said..I definitely think it affects user accuracy more powerfully. Human at 0 is too low..you'll miss a ton of easy throws. 5 to 10 seems to be the sweet spot and I'm sticking with 10 for the time being. CPU at 5 seems good..although CPU at 0 is all over the board.

Run Block (CPU 45, Human default)....knocking the CPU down one notch helps to counter the Heisman strength boost the CPU gets.

Pass Coverage (CPU 35, Human 40)...takes away the mirroring, still allows for solid DB play with ability of WRs to also get open and make plays

INT (Both 35)...Any higher IMO and it's an Interception fest from my testing.

Tackling (Human 60, CPU Default)...Helps to counter the Heisman strength boost for CPU

Haven't really messed with Special Teams that much.


Honestly..this game doesn't require massive slider changes in most areas. It plays very nicely all around. The major shift was to bring down the extremely high Passing percentages and high number of picks.

Just played Alabama vs Virginia Tech on AA and it was a very exciting game. I won 14-10. Did feel there were some questionable things the CPU got away with.

I cant stand when a QB scrambles and the defense just stands and watches him.

I also had a pass that I was trying to defend. Hit the Y button and he just watched the guy catch it and stood there.

Neither team could run the ball at all. But the QB had about the same stats. Very even game.

The demo for sure keeps being very fun every time I play it. Only now I'm starting to thump any team even on Heisman....

I look forward to some online games

I've had it on Heisman and even put user run blocking on 0 with CPU rush defense on 100 and STILL would kill Bama with Logan Thomas on the read option. Even tweaked speed threshold hoping it would effect it but it didn't. I guess I'll just have the blocking sliders on 50 while it's on Heisman and see if it works.
