Heaven forbid. I guess all I can do is just wait and see. They've been HAMMERING us from a PR perspective that the Sim Gamer was being represented this year. I hope so.

You know that probably is what happened. Same thing happened last year with NCAA 14. In the demo of NCAA 14 the QB and general ball carrier AI was deadly. And so was the stiff arms. Then those GC'ers and tourney guys went down there complaining it was too good and when the retail version came out, the QB scramble logic and ball carrier running logic went back to being dumb again and the stiff arm was nerfed.

Hell same thing happened with Madden 25 and true step. Tourney guys complained and EA weakened it to appease online players.

I watched the replay on EA Twitch page, but it seems like the end of the second quarter, haftime show, and the rest of the game got cut off. Is this this happening for everyone.

I wanted to rewatch the halftime show and the CPU play calling with under 2:00 minutes left in the half (Check their time outs andf play calling)

If its gone, thats pretty weird

I must be in minority compare to people here, I thought the game looked really good in this video. I saw a lot of new animations, especially in the pockets with QB animations.

I can see the whole broadcast on there.

If I had a next-gen console, I would be really disappointed. This game looks like Last Gen to me, and I'm not exaggerating one bit.

I mostly liked what I saw during the live stream. In the Steelers vs Chiefs game the Chiefs had the ball inside the 20 with around 10 seconds left and they call their last timeout. Instead of kicking a field goal with 10 seconds or so left they tried to get a touchdown. I'm hoping the reason we didn't see a lot of inaccurate passes was because the QBs that were used.

There was also a general lack of pressure from the cpu pass rushers, so I am sure that didn't help.
