Quarter 1 of a very good game between SMU and Texas Tech

Awesome! Trips Open is...beautiful - so much more than I was expecting. Thanks!

SO Dr. Death hows the playbook

Stadium looks absolutely awesome. I also LOVE the look over when attempting to audible. I never noticed that in the demo, but that is a really neat addition.

It's in the demo. If you go no huddle. Then once your too the line and the play is picked, you audible (even to the same play), they will do it. It does look sweet.

SO Dr. Death hows the playbook

It's disappointing. I saw 38 pass plays that Steve_OS posted at OS and none of those 38 pass plays have option routes. Looking through the video I didn't see any there either. I have been following this offense for over 25 years and have several Mouse Davis and June Jones playbooks... the offense is built on adjusting to the defense after the snap. Which means... option routes.

Yet I have seen none as of yet. I do know there are two because we saw a screen of the SMU playbook about a month ago and they had some options routes in those two plays... but the playbook should have option routes on every play.

Another thing is the R&S playbook is not that big. With all the option routes it doesn't have to be. I'd be shocked if they had 38 passing plays when Colt Brennan was at Hawaii. More like 15-18. And of course, somehow EA still omits the Shovel Pass.

So... to summarize the SMU playbook... very disappointing.

I really had low expectations, but there was one option route I saw in the first quarter in the Trips Open formation - SE Options. Course how well they run the option routes etc is a whole nother monster.

Looks like I'll get the 2nd part of quarter two uploaded and ready tonight. Three and four will be uploading overnight, and I'll have those posted tomorrow morning sometime.

you let Adam James score on you? Craig must be going nuts in the booth.

also, it sounded like they added the "Raider..... Power" chant(at least it sounded like it). I don't recall that in NCAA 10. if it was, I guess using custom stadium sounds overrode it.

Thanks JB for all your effort - much appreciated!

[Jayrah]

In game chants that aren't custom are pretty bad. But at least they are there. Time for updated chants I think. Or something to muffle them over the stadium or something

Can you return kickoffs in Road to Glory mode?

Can some one post screen shots of uniforms in the 4th quarter? I have heard that there are no dirty uniforms or scuffs on the helmets like in past games. Its not a big deal to me but some have said that uniforms stay completely clean with no wear and tear or scuffs on the helmets and some people say that there is dirty uniforms during the game.

Yeah the uniforms and helmets do not get dirty this year. Probably a casualty of some new graphics technology where it was left out this year, but not forgotten.

pause the video @ 3:06 in the SMU vs TTU quarter 3. awesome 1-handed TD by Detron Lewis.

Yeah the replay on that was NICE!

Would someone with spare time upload my team builder team Kota State Bisons (PS3 user name bigjake62505) and post some screen shots on the field or a video. Please and thank you.

Army vs. Navy. I picked the plays for Navy, but had Auto Pass turned on and let CPU run the plays (Coach Mode). This also gives a very simple and quick look at the CPU running and defending the option. Probably not a fair sample size to make any definitive statements, but I wanted to share this since there were requests for it.
