Enjoying some of the little things that I am seeing on the field. I went to hit a running back low with the hit stick, he hurdled me! Haven't seen a real issue with the cpu quick snapping. Only seen 2 int's in 5 games. Had a catch over turned. That was cool. Wish the demo ran at 4 or 5 minute quarters.

I have a question. Is the HB counter still in the game? I haven't seen it in either teams I-formation I see the new Power-O play. Did that replace the HB counter?

The HB counter is still there.

After a three hour download wait

....I finally get to play... (PS3) Mixed thoughts after one game. First off graphics are awesome!! Then it is after just one game so I will play much more, but I ended up winning 34-21 in ot. I picked off Pryor three times(the last coming in ot), but all three got taken to the house.... I also scored on a kickoff return for a TD. OSU defense was pretty tough which I liked since this was only Varsity. The int's kinda reminded me of 08' but it was only one game vs a backup QB. So off to try more later.

on the 360 i just saw what altimus was talking about with the qb going slightly left of center, it was on an audible. personally i think it was that huge gator tail that caused it though.

i suck at it atm. but 2 mins is not enough time to pound the ball and wear a defense down. although i have had a 83 and 75 yrd td runs with wells.

You mean Albert Tebow.

Oh by the way, I think the HB Counter is out, but I see a Counter Trap. These playbooks are very nice. Can't wait to see UF's, Hawaii's, TTU's, Oregon's, Mizzou's, etc.

Edit: The Counter Lead is in the H-Back Strong Normal formation for OSU.

man i cant tell if its osu s defense or if i am just to use to 07...

# 550 lmlannie @ 06/20/08 12:44 AM

Flanker screens are ridiculous, not a single defender has recognized it yet. The corners just backpedal 10 yards instead. And Manual Pass Rush is either get pancaked or blow by the OL.
But I do think that the controls will be better. Right now they are a little awkward but a couple sessions in practice mode will fix it.

I don't care anymore, I just want a fun game of football...with a realistic dynasty.

Will Ryan Perriloux be in the actual game?

No. According to Russell05 and OMT (Adam from EA), he was taken out of the more recent build of the game.

Thanks. Good to hear that.

I ended up calling three passing plays in a row, and missed on all of them, so I had to kick a FG for the win. So it's 4th down and my kicker gets ready and everything, but the kicking meter never showed up! I had to guess on when to push the thumbstick up to kick the ball, but I ended up nailing a 43 yarder for the win. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Sorry if it has, I didn't want to read through this whole thread.

Yes, I had it happen to me in my very first game, BUT only after I started calling no huddle. I called a no-hudle offense once, and the rest of the game it wouldnt let me choose a any plays on offense or defense, or specials teams. It's like the entire game was in no huddle mode. I hope thats not in the game.

I can't download it through PS Store - my network is acting funny. I can download it at work but can't take my PS3 there. Is it available on a website or something?
