      Pretty awesome... this demo is going to have a bunch of lasting appeal. 4 match-ups! I sure do hope Texas v. Bama at the Rose Bowl is included... I guess we'll wait and see

      Not only do I get to play as the Gators, but I get to repeatedly curb stomp Florida State? Hell yeah. Best. Demo. Ever.

      On another note, player models look so much better than last year. They've definitely made some huge strides in the graphics department.

      I think I'll spend my time trying to injure every Gaytor around.

      Yep ... good guesses for the guys thinking there would be multiple teams for the different styles in the demo.

      I guess they are not going for 8 different styles. I think FSU and Ohio State are both "multiple offense" in the game.

      Yeah IIRC when I saw the demo in April, there were a couple of styles that are not represented in the demo. But you will have a great variety.

      I was hoping that an Air Raid offense would be in the demo, but now that it seems they are going for "big" schools, I doubt it. The only match-up would likely be TTU/UT, but if UT was there, it would be against OU.

      based of the trend so far of the teams, the Pistol, Air Raid, and Run & Shoot will not be in the demo. I guess it's not a surprise really, there are not many that run those exclusively. The triple option might not, unless GT is in(or if they go wild and do Army vs. Navy).

      Here's a good picture of what will happen if you overuse the hit stick

      I'm glad they toned that shit down. I got so tired of noobs running up full speed and only pulling off a hit stick because it sucked my offensive player right into the defender. Can't wait to put those guys on their asses. Of course, I use the hit stick a good bit, too, so I better learn to lay off myself.

      I'm in the same boat. I typically hit Square (dive), X, or just run into the player if not trying a Hit Stick.

      I think we need to add 360 and PS3 smileys.

      Love the multiple matchups! Hopin they changed it to 1, 5 minute qtr instead of 4, 1 min qtrs... if they did that, even the demo will be a home run this year ! Either way, lookin forward to it!

      If I'm not big hitting, I usually strafe to break down and then just run into them or dive at them.

      Player models do look really good. Is it just me or does the ball still look GIGANTIC in some of those pics?

      It seems to be an issue the closer the pic is zoomed in, for whatever reason.


      When it comes to the hit stick and locomotion, don't try and deliver a big hit if you are the last line of defense. You might as well just give them the points if you try and fail. This year, there's no suction into the big hit and no quick recovery if you whiff on the hit.
