[weeeeeeez]

Really can't express how much better the Horseshoe looks in this game than any other past NCAA game.

Early verdict is the it's gone. I've been testing all night. Also - you will definitely need sliders for offline play imho.

So is recruiting just set on one difficulty now? Why would they take that out?

menus and UI are still sloooooooow
now i can't start a game, go get a drink and come back when it's loaded, instead i have to press A to advance, is this to get me to watch an ad i could avoid before?

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

i noticed it in my last game. but the camera would stay on the ball not the player. not a bid deal to me. some others it will be though.

Some people like to watch the pre game stuff. By making you press A/X you wont miss it if you have to get up. You also have to press A/X so it doesn't interrupt you while you are looking at a top player or something.

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.

They arent meant to be exact. The coaching records arent even exact. Roster guys will fix it.

I was excited for this game after playing the demo, but I decided to spend the money on season ticket to try it out online. Thank god, because it is awful. All the same route mirroring and warping DBs that drove me to sell the game in the first place are back. They haven't fixed the glitch where your passing button presses don't register (leading to you to miss your throwing window). Zone coverage is still a massive liability. And if you (on defense) change formations during a no huddle series then your players will line up in the stupidest places.

Thanks season ticket, you saved me the rest of that money.
