QBs scramble to the right 95% of the time. Even if the left is open or middle is open, CPU QB favor the right way too much. They scramble right, drift right. 4. If a RB weighs 230 or higher, no way in the world should he be brought down by 1 person 99% of the time up high. This is mainly a problem for the CPU ball carrier. They truck too late and end up getting blasted backwards by a LB or way smaller safety. 5. Punt returns for the CPU is back to being brain dead again. It was pretty decent in the demo, but now they are back into running head 1st in the wall of tacklers instead of going to the left or right. Other then that, I am having a blast. EA just need to increase the balance of ball carriers for they won't fall down with the slightest touch. It reminds me of when Madden 13 came out, ball carriers use to fall down from the slightest touch too. Mainly a CPU ball carrier problem because the CPU don't ever use stumble recovery. And stop the QB from favoring his right side. They drift to the right and scramble to the right majority of the time, which leads to the majority of the sacks going to the left defensive end because the QB goes directly into him. And fix the brain dead CPU AI on punt returns. They are suffering from tunnel vision again.

Yeah, one-on-one tackling is way too good in this game, try tuning the tackling sliders down to 15 for more realistic out comes.

DB glitch seems to be fixed. I am ecstatic.

Saw this 3 times today. On go/ streak routes in man to man the cb will continue to run in front of the receiver and give up the catch instead of playing the ball.

I'm really not understanding EA's logic with the coach levels before getting into a dynasty.

Some coaches have understandably high levels (Saban/Bama, Brown/Texas, Beamer/VTech all at level 32).

But Tuberville at Cincy with a 30????
Frank Solich at Ohio with 26???? (granted he was at Nebraska for a few years)

But Paul Pasqualoni at UConn with a 25? Ahead of the likes of Urban Meyer (22) Jimbo Fisher at FSU who was coach-in-waiting after Bobby Bowden (10).

But the truly oddest one is North Texas coach Dan McCarney with a level 21. Hell, Muschamp at Florida is at level 8!!!!

I feel like when I start up a full dynasty (when the rosters come out), I have to reset everybody to level 1. It's absurd that some of these mediocre coaches have ridiculously high ratings, while big name coaches have lower ratings.

Until rosters come out i only play NE vs NE games, hey you can only practice against your own right?

I couldnt get tmagic stopped at all, i did injur him, and their O basically stopped. It was kind of nice to see.

As i said, i only have played in Nebraska, the stadium looks really nice this year.

Anyhow, i cant stop the option, running QB. Hopefully its a learning curve thing.

I play on AA, TOP has been so far better this year.

I need the rosters, im ready for dynasty.

Sarcasm? What's the early verdict. The deep ball issue was an absolute deal breaker last year for a lot of us.

ND's helmets fixed on the day games on 360?

Qb says "kill kill kill" wayyyyyyy too much when you audible or slide protect... It's really awkward and annoying to hear over and over and over.

Anybody else noticing after some touchdowns there's no cut or replay screen... It just will follow the player who scored all the way to the sideline and do nothing at all

Seems like sometimes the opponent comes out hot, sometimes cold. Then if the eventually put a drive together you can feel the momentum shift.
