I played four games this morning and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
The dive catches are pretty awesome but there was some negative there as well. On one pass, the outside receiver on the right side of the field ran a post. I threw the ball to him and he made a beautiful diving catch, that was necessary, for the completion (User Controlled). Later on in the game, I threw the ball to the tight end and it went straight to him, no dive necessary, and he slowed down to dive anyways, allowing the Linebacker to pick it off (AI Controlled).
Play Action passes worked very well for me. The AI only hit me twice directly after the fake, one was a blitz, the other wasn't. However, I was able to use the play action several times successfully without having to rush the ball out.
Tackling was very much improved. It was nice being able to stop the running back short of the line and a stupid animation didn't start that carried him passed it for no reason. Also, broken tackles look much more realistic and fluid and the way tackles branch out is amazing.
I did not have a problem with Psychic DBs at all. I ran a few curl routes to test it out, and the defensive backs were not mirror images of the WRs.

Sounds broken to me. I'm downloading the video right now. I will have a video up later at TheSimStandard on youtube.com under the name TrueSimGamer. Be on the look out.
Does this game seem slightly faster to anyone else? I feel like, especially on defense, the players move a little quicker. I actually think it's more realistic and like it.
How is returning punts in the demo? Do the blockers actually set up their blocks now? Can you actually return punts for decent yardage without having to cheese the computer and always use punt block?
I played almost a whole game. Enjoyed it, but the biggest problem is the game locked up between the 3/4th quarter. Well not locked up, the screen wipe for the highlight package stayed stuck on the screen, but the audio kept going and I could still hit buttons even though I coudn't see the play on the field. It was bizarre. Anyone else get this?
Other than that the thing that needs to be gone is the bail out incompletions. Every time there's about to be a sack the qb gets hit and the ball goes forwared 2 yards. Been going on in EA football for years.

Now they need to work on punt and kick blocks.

Kind of a nitpicky question that would be answered if I waited until the demo dropped on PS3, but I am impatient.
I guess this is a question for FSU fans or people who know their rosters: how do the out-of-the-box rosters look for FSU? I know roster editors and stuff will get it right, but I'd love to see how EA came about this year.
For example: has Lamarcus Joyner (#20) been moved to safety? Is Xavier Rhodes (#27) starting at CB along with Greg Reid (#5)? I'd also love if someone could just list me the numbers of who is starting on FSU (since depth charts are not accessible)
I know its really tedious, but help a PS3, FSU guy out!!
Much love, community!

man coverage is very tight. I like it though, it's no unbeatable. I'm playing on Heisman, and I gotta say, i'm getting a good challenge.
Has it been possible to block a field goal for the past 6 or 7 years? Maybe it's just me...

Anyways, it seems to me that zone defense has definitely improved. That was a concern for me but the devs stepped. The player models look great and so does the environment. My only problem is the CPU playcalling logic. The CPU will still kick 50+ yard field goals and ridiculous fake punts.

Here is my opinion...Thoughts on this would be nice to see if anyone else is having these thoughts...I haven't played on anything but heisman
Pros-
Looks really nice
gang tackles and tackling in general is great
Have had success for a human running (as everyone has said)
CPU running game beasts on any overpursue (richardson went for 200 on 3 carries lol)
CPU zones are good..I just was trying to test the flats theory and boom pick 6...it was the best TD ive ever given up.
a 1 down lineman nickel is bad against the run...very happy to see that as well
the few PA passes ive ran after many runs have produced results but not enough testing on that
Cons-
PSychic DBs
A user D lineman could be too dominant. Use FSUs RE and just bull rush..get major sacks
Could be nano blitz issues, as I ran 3 zone blitz plays in a row (all different) and got 3 sacks...4th and 36...maybe they were great calls or maybe this may be an issue.
Ran a speed option with Gilbert..I forgot what play I ran, so I stood still when i said hut, cut up the middle and went untouched for 74 yards...not a good feeling at all
Ill keep reading everyones thoughts. Those are my impressions after 4 games

took 15 points in the 4th to win it 22-21. The Spread Option is gonna be one hell of an offense this year. Gameplay is similar to 11, but the tackling, better blocking makes it feel was more polished. Still wish there was more momentum, but I won't complain. Playbooks are different as far as scrolling through them, so that'll take some getting used to. Also, grass during gameplay looks the same as before lol. FSU/Alabama time.
