One thing about the Pistol I definitely will say though, the playaction out of it on NCAA12 is considerably better than either under center or Shotgun. Rarely if ever do I feel instant-pressured like I do on either of the other two.
I personally thought the cpu was poor on AA last year. Their running game and overall dumb play calling and execution frustrated me, even with slider adjustments. The cpu running game is always really bad on AA too.
The funny thing is most people on hardcore gaming sites find AA/All-Pro on the easy side with Heisman/All-Madden too difficult. With so many people loathing sliders I think EA should take a long look at offering another difficulty level between AA and Heisman. I think a ton of people would love that option including myself.

One thing to note, my longest run (72 yards) was actually out of Shotgun Split Offset. Obviously that reduces the yardage but I'd certainly say I still had good success out of the Pistol formations.
I will never understand how you guys play taking control of your defenders. You guys miss so many tackles that turn 5-yd gains into 50-yd gains.
The only time that causes me to miss a tackle is when it switches me to a guy who I am not expecting to get or the lag is kind of bad.
I use my safety at all times but only switch when there is no way for me to get involved in the play. Most of the time I 'player lock' w/o using player lock.
I used player lock for an entire season but could never get used to it.

Man, the run fits are so bad that there is no way I could sit back at safety and let my CPU guys try to make a stop.
Most of the time my FS is the leading tackler. I play close to the line...I do give up the long ball a little too often though.

does the game feel or move any different really ?
the last 2 years have been an over all improvement but it still feels very basic and very stick figure-ish.
In Madden, I trust the players to do what i expect to a degree,they seem more solid..linemen make tackles in madden...in NCAA, they all seem so paper thin and linemen feel useless.
NCAA just seems like cardboard while Madden is more of a hard plastic or rubber..if you get my meaning LOL
just seeing if there will be a compare /contrast from these initial thoughts
I play on the D-line, then click on to make the tackle at the end of the play. I've found that if I play in the defensive backfield at the snap, more often than not I overpursue or otherwise draw myself out of the play.

So, I just played Heisman Challenge for the hell of it. In the game I played, I was 26-37 for 412 yds with 3 passing TDs and 1 rushing TD. Awesome game, right? Well no. Why?
Because I put RGIII on Oregon.
If I'm on Oregon's team, why am I throwing 37 times and rushing 3 times (twice only because I changed the play)?
If I had to guess: the team did say that RTG this year was going to put an emphasis on the Player. So a running back will get more running plays, no matter the offense you choose. I said more, but I have no idea if that means slightly more, drastically more, etc. My guess is that since RGIII is a quarterback, they gave him pass plays, even though he'd fit in a running QB offense.
