      They removed some gameplay adjustments. Most notably gone is Jump The Snap.

      Spoiler: show

      It's not in the demo but I can't imagine they would remove it. The "QB Auto Pass" style of coach mode is still in the game for sure though.

      Thank you much sir. I hope you're right but I don't put anything past EA. Sounds like everyone is loving the demo though.

      As Kwizzy stated, I hope the Veer is in Pistol Diamond in other playbooks, or available for a created PB. This play is a gamechanger to me, especially for someone like me who runs OffTackle a lot from Shotty 2-Back. Overall, I love the feel of the game. The engine feels much more refined from Madden 13, visuals really pop off the screen. Pretty impressed. Still seeing some alignment issues, & deep blues still are horribly played by safeties during Cover 4.

      I've never had much of a problem defending Oregon. But I just got my butt kicked by their offense, it's like you actually have to play them differently than a Pro style offense. I was finally able to figure them out, but I was impressed to see the noticeable difference in gameplay and style.

      I love the gameplay. The blocking is so much better. And I love the new ability to cut with the ball carrier

      I set the QB Accuracy for both the HUM & CPU to 0 and it's definitely evident. I'm 1/6 so far and the one completion was a WR screen. The passes are going way wide, which is very good to see.
