The playbooks are AWESOME. Sooooo many formations/plays to choose from. You can get a really nice offensive package together for sure.

Cool. I don't know why I'm concerned about the hot routing like I am as I very rarely hot route on D. I think it just irks me that it's a "feature" that is useless vs CPU. Hopefully the pass rush ends up being better in the final game.
Also I CAN"T WAIT TO GET THE F OUT Of HERE SO I CAN PLAY!...

There, I feel better.

Let me know when this goes silver. I wouldn't pay Microsoft a dime for their gold service. Live crashed my console from just updating the latest patch!

I know you (we) didn't get the bubble you wished for, but at least you have the slip screen. I love the screen plays myself. I really like the misdirection screens UF runs out of the spread. Just let me get in space and I'll make it happen. LOL

How's the gameplay does it still feel robotic? does it even come close to touching APF 2K8 gameplay wise or is it the same song?

You said you used Floridas playbook, what kind of new plays/formations did they have in there? I'm out of town so I cant plan till i get back, its killing me.

yes the bubble screen and shovel pass would have been great.

can't wait to see what the TTU playbook is like in '09, i didn't like it in '08 that much.

Downloading the demo as I type.

I like what I've read so far, especially the posts about the CPU actually able to pass the ball, maybe too well, which is fine with me. Maybe I'll be able to play more than 2 seasons without getting bored. I'm still a bit worried about the turnovers, since a lot of you guys seem to be experiencing interceptions - I just hope it's not from the CPUs side.

Use the right stick to sub in the backup QB at the formation select menu.

I can say one thing, the OSU playbook is a lot better than last year. I can't point to specifics but just overall feeling, I ditched OSU's pbook last year but this year I may actually use it.

press right on the right analog stick at the playcall screen to choose BACKUP QB sub and you can use him. or just have boeckman get drilled a couple of times, LOL, and he'll be in all game.

Then when the cpu ran one back on me, it was because most of my guys got bunched into a crowd and couldn't get to him, due to animations.
You don't think that has to be do with playing on varisty level?


Glad to see we have "some" time to do presnap adjustments on D before the cpu snaps the ball.

Can't wait to get home and play some more.

played a game with a wierd glitch. was in ot against the cpu. the cpu just scored a td. on the PAT the holder turned around before the snap and the ball went right behind is back and i won 24-23. never seen anything like it.

I don't know what it is, but I am having pretty good success on the DL. The key is to get to the QB early. I play as the DEs on defense. If you can send in a blitz to get the QB in the start, you can try to throw off the OTs and get them to where they are "cold". I had a game where I personally got to the QB twice, my defense managed 2 more sacks. Only two of those were blitzes, and by blitzes I mean one LB. The DE play seems much improved, but this is varsity, and I rarely play on varsity so I cannot completely compare. However, I have ALMOST gotten to the QB several times, and it wasn't because the cpu guy held the ball too long or started to scramble. Lawrence Wilson (DE #87 OSU) is a beast of a pass rusher if you use him right. The last 3 games I have gotten significant pressure on the cpu and myself have been sacked a couple times (mostly my fault for not finding the open man in time).

The OSU playbook is MUCH improved over last year. However I have began to figure out some "money" plays (however the reason is most likely due to varsity speed bursts). Such as you just do the shallow crossing routes and get it so that Ray Small (WR #4 OSU) is in one of the slot positions and he will get open for at least an 8 yard gain. The simple out plays are also netting me a LOT of yards.The cpu cannot defend it to save their lives.
