      Feel free, then, to ship me your copy so I can answer questions.

      For the good of the community, of course.:p

      LOL.

      Can you guys comment on the relative difficulty levels? Can you at least comment on what difficulty setting you will be playing on and scores of your games?

      My take is a completely better safe than sorry approach. I'm probably not going to post ANYTHING NCAA11 specific until they give us the go ahead.

      Same here. I might send a picture of the game in my hand to a buddy of mine from school to mess with him, but other than that, I think we'd all be smart to just keep quiet until we are good to go.

      Can you guys check to see if TeamBuilder schools can be used for normal online games?

      From the EA SPORTS Online Pass page, that appears to be in the game. Get the game new or buy Online Pass and you get:

      - Recruiting Reports for use in Dynasty Mode

      - Twelve TeamBuilder Slots to download your custom teams for use in Play Now, Head-to-Head Online, Dynasty, and Online Dynasty Modes

      - Online Multiplayer Modes such as Online Play Now, Head-to-Head, Online Dynasty, and More**

      I somehow managed to overlook that. That will be very handy... not only for guys that want to create a TeamBuilder team, but also guys in an OD can use it as a work around to play exhibition games. Granted they would have to put in a fair amount of work to recreate their team in TeamBuilder, but at least it's an option.

      Great to hear guys, I'm betting you were all happy to hear that they'll be flowing in tomorrow.

      I'm with you guys, on a better safe then sorry approach. No need to push anything right now, keep the positive things flowing nicely for you and this site!

      Instead of my bothering you with questions, can one of you guys who gets a 360 copy just send it to me and I'll answer all my questions myself and I'll have it back to you in a few days? If one of you guys who got a PS3 copy want to send it to me, you'll have to send your PS3 with it, since all I have is a 360.

      Thanks for being good sports and doing that. I'll PM you my address.


      Thanks,
      Brandon

      It would also be GREAT to get your guys' impressions on just how much the pass rush and pass coverage have been improved over the demo. Congrats, by the way!
      Not sure on the online....guess will find out tomorrow.

      I would love for you guys to post a video featuring Auburn with Malzahn's playbook. I 'm really anxious to see EA's interpretation!

      Ok, I don't have a whole lot of time this week so here's a quick list of things I'd like to see/impressions I'd be interested in:

      -Screenshots of the formations in Nebraska's Playbook. (I wanna start planning my formations subs!) And of course any videos featuring Nebraska are more than welcome. I'd also like to see some Auburn videos as I'll be using them in and Online Dynasty.

      -Impressions/videos on the default pass rush and coverage on both Heisman and All-American difficulty. Also, thoughts/videos on the effects of the sliders on those aspects of gameplay.

      -Videos of a highly rated DT and DE vs different Olineman (Highly rated/Average/Poor). I'd like to know if elite Dlineman can change the game or if the blocking improvements have made their ratings less important.

      -Thoughts and posts with GAME STATS from games with different difficulties and qtr lengths.

      -How are the stat overlays? Are they a little more frequent & relevant?

      -How is the stadium atmosphere? Do the fans react any more appropriately to what's happening on the field?

      That's all I've got for now, I'll try to post more as I think of them...

      How about showing the highly rated DE & DT vs a high OL, a decent blocking TE, and a QB each lined up at either Tackle or Guard?
