Is that a purchase in store or online or both?
I would use that towards Madden 25.

I fired up my OD, played a half, and said forget it, hit the delete button on '13 a few days early. Think ncaa '14 has a chance to be a pretty solid deal.

Yeah man, I tried to play 13 and I couldn't even make it through the 1st. Qtr! Friday can't get here fast enough!

Just out of curiosity, I was wondering how everyone is taking to no longer being able to manually move your defenders to certain areas for manual preplay defensive assignments? (The game now moves your defensive player back to where he was if you move him on your own)

Loving the demo, just beat OSU on heisman 24-21. Won on a game winning field goal with one second left and got to see the ice the kicker work. It was beautiful and really adds a degree of challenge to the game.

I'm really enjoying the demo especially on heisman difficulty. I'm playing the Virginia and Alabama matchup. I'm losing more than I'm winning. They have all been close games.

I didn't think I would like heisman, but I think this year is the way to go. I don't feel cheated at all. (not like years past) The A.I. has definitely improved.

I buy this game every year, but this is the first year I'm actually excited to get my hands on this game.

I think this years game is going to be the best game yet.

Finally downloaded and played the demo. A couple of disappointing observations:

CPU playcalling logic remains brutal, year in and year out. This is HUGE for me, since most of my games are in dynasty mode vs. the CPU. I want the CPU to play with the same presence of mind that I (usually) do.

* I was playing against Ohio State. With 2:01 left in the first half, OSU calls timeout. Plenty of time left, no need to burn a timeout.

* The hurry-up offense is out of control. The CPU can have a negative play and be left with third-and-long, yet go into hurry-up mode. Never mind if there are only two receivers on the field and it's a passing down.

* The commentary is the same old, same old from the past several years. If I close my eyes, I have no idea if I'm playing NCAA '14, '13, '12 or '11.

* I've seen it only once in one game, but I hope this isn't a throwback to earlier versions of NCAA on the PS3 in which the CPU ran fake punts regularly. OSU had fourth-and-23 and ran a pass play out of a punt formation. They came up inches short, BTW.

For the first time ever, this won't be a release-day purchase for me. I'll wait and see what average gamers here have to say.
