      I just created a 2nd account on my PS3 in the US and downloaded it from the US store. Only took a couple minutes to create it and that's my only suggestion to you. We got hosed I guess.

      Sadly for me, as a run first guy, coordinator cam (after 2 full games of trying it) is pretty much unplayable.
      I'm with you and Jayrah on this. I really, really liked this camera from the videos. I need to give it more time but the running game is too zoomed out for me right now. I think the Madden default cam may be the best of any option but I'll have to wait and see that for myself as well.

      I briefly played the demo earlier, played one game of Ohio State vs. Michigan. It was alright. Some things that are definitely better, some that are worse. My anticipation for NCAA '14 is probably about the same as it was before the demo. It didn't do anything to increase my anticipation, but it didn't do anything to taper it either. Ultimately I probably won't play the demo much more than a few games, especially since I'm still finishing out the last season of my dynasty on '13.

      So far this has been some amazing game play. I love just about everything about it. I haven't seen a halftime show yet, players falling over each other after the play, and after some TD's it just an 15 second awkward moment of nothing happening. The read option is DEADLY. The fact that their are so many different kinds of options also is amazing. So far I would give this a solid 9/10.

      Something subtle I've noticed is the different sounding clicks in the playcall screen. Kinda like those. I'm playing on AA for both offense and defense, so we'll see how it shakes out.

      I really excited to see my TB logos in the game with how vibrant the colors are. The field art should look great.

      I just ate an UGLY stiff arm from the RB out of the backfield for a TD reception.

      Just got picked off for 6 in double OT to lose it 23-17 UO VS Tamu (me). Can't believe I made the throw. 2 things:

      1: Anticipation actually matters this year. Throwing late is not always death but isn't good most of the time. On the other side if your WR has a step the defender has not gotten across to make a sliding pick yet! Fit 3 tds in today that would have been picks in 13!

      2: Not a bug but needs fixing anyways. The pick 6 for a UO win in 2 OT triggered Kirk and Brad to say something relating to an offensive TD and "the way things are going they might be back on the field another time". Game's over so ... no they won't.

      Just played all three games on demo... I must say I'm loving the game so far... Also I thought I would like coordinator cam, but zoom is my favorite!!! Feels like I'm right on the line of scrimmage...

      Lost to Oregon 24-21. A pick thrown in the end zone in the 3rd basically turned the tide.

      Definitely wasn't much defense in the game.

      Johnny Football was 15 of 22, 223 yds, 2 TD, 2 INT ... rushed 3 times for 32 yards

      My HB was 10 for 60 on the ground.

      Oregon QB was 9 for 9 for 211 and 3 TD, also rushed 4 times for 53 yards.

      Oregon HB was 5 carries for 32 yards.
