LSU' tight end pwnz!

Really enjoying the demo. Though like I have previously stated, I am not as critical as others.
I do find it very hard to run the ball. Probably cause I suxor.

Yeah I have a hard time getting Wells started as well....he's been dragged down a few times behind the line of scrimmage but once he's started his speed boosts up....

The key is to not use the speed burst before you get to the line of scrimmage. Also, be sure to use his strengths (Stiff Arm/Trucking) as opposed to Juke.

Anyone know what's up with the 2-minute quarters? The demo seems fully functional enough to allow for longer quarters. Even no game clock at all would be better than this. There's like no way to get any flow going because it's perperually the end of the quarter or half.

And on the same note, practice mode would be sweet as a demo. Either a demo with practice mode, or a separate demo of practice mode.

I noticed that too, although Brandon Saine (sp) is pretty quick off the ball. Notice a big difference there.

Hmm, lol, i just played the demo and right before the 1st quarter it glitched. It keeps on showing stadium views of the field and one of the players in the ohio state huddle is running in never ending circles.

yeah it would be nice if EA gave us 4 min quarters instead of 2.....2 mins you hardly have time to adjust to anything....it's not like we're just gonna keep the Demo and not buy the game .

They just want to give you an appetizer Undefeated. Just a little taste to make you want the whole meal.

I would love to practice against the pass in practice mode. The CPU QB is lights out!

I also wish EA didn't make the dusk games so orange looking.....sometimes the Buckeye team looked like they were the Long Horns wearing their burnt orange uni's...

I agree, But I have an easy fix for that, Play day or night only.

Yeah, well, it worked. And now I'm just more pissed than anything. 24 days? I'll never make it, I say!

Yeah Line shift protection was a good add finally ....but i noticed in replays the ball doesnt' rotate like years past...it was more straight and streamline....wat a joke !!!!

This is 91 pages so if asked and answered my apologies. What is the mascot celebrations with LSU where the tiger "sits" and the players throw the ball at his nose and he paws at it?

Why couldn't we go near the stands and play to the crowd...I scored a few times but the mascot was on the other side of the end zone so i couldn't do any of that.
 
# 835 Scott @ 06/20/08 09:10 PM
Personally I prefer to celebrate with the players on the field...but thats just me
 
# 836 maddenps2 @ 06/20/08 09:10 PM
You know one thing that takes away from the atomosphere of the game? It's the zombie sidelines in all ea-sports football games. In real life the players would be cheering and yelling at team-mates and opposing players as they got tackled near them or made a tackle.

In Ncaa and Madden they are just low-detailed player models completely unaware of what is going on feet in front of them. They are stuck in a 10 second animation loop and just look plain dumb. Little things like that take out the excitment and immersion factor of the game.

Where are the crazy fan closeups, you always see them from so far out they have no impact or feeling in the game.
 
# 837 Scott @ 06/20/08 09:11 PM
I agree...its awesome.

The reason for that, if you want fully animated sidelines, the game wouldn't be run at 60 FPS

Yeah how come EA don't have players patting the kickers head after a field goal or the classic pat on the butt after a good play
