      Well, I can say I dont think I am a fan of the playbook scrolling (Assuming its changed, though if memory serves me right it has), didnt they just change it last year? and now its changed again. I see what they were trying to do with it, I'm sure once I get use to it I will like it, but right now its a pain in the ass.

      FSU D-Line is very Solid. I am a fan of the seeing the ref make the sideline review calls, and if you want to play more just go into OT


      Will post more once I play more.

      Just played as oregon vs texas and few thoughts they added ALOT of new shotgun running plays, second the shotgun run animations have been sped up, they wernt kidding about the zone defense I got picked twice but still won because of two LMJ runs of over 60 yards off of HB offset power o

      Maybe I'm just the casual gamer. Or maybe it's because I don't know enough about graphic design or creating a video game. But I think the demo is ok. Coaching Football in real life I know personally you can't ever create what actually happens on the field.
      The game feels good. It feels different than last year (too me)

      I noticed the Zone Defense (2 INTs). However I had success throwing the ball.

      I had a decent pass rush. Got a sack and noticed my LB use his hands to avoid a cut block (great technique). However, the Oregon QB (Thomas) felt pressure and moved around the pocket and scrambled.

      The new tackle engine is way better.

      I like Texas Intro (but will skip down the road)

      I like the lighting system.

      It's a buy for me. However, my life as a coach keeps me to busy to be a video game nerd so I always buy Madden, NCAA, and NBA 2K and them with my athletes or after the long season (Great way to recruit a kid).

      Not certain but I think it's usually at least 3 days or upto a week later.

      Impressions #2 The grass looks exactly the same I just really wanted to say that On some replays I see it but I don't think it was worth whatever effort they gave it.

      Won't get my hands on the demo until it's out later today on PSN, but here's a low-quality recording of some demo gameplay that I saw over at OS:
