Very true. McNabb got fat in the NFL and was still referred to as a scrambler despite rarely running.Quote:

Also one little thing I've not seen and don't remember on 2011 is that as the play clock get to 9 it turns red and kinda has a pulse sound that is light and subtle but nice too.
Playing Kansas at Kansas State right now.
I just called a HB toss (not first time in this game) but my backup HB came into the game and the QB missed the toss to him. This was not an option just a normal toss play.
this would be awesome if they had some really random miscues in the game like thisQuote:

One of the most frustrating things I've noticed in the demo is while I ran an option play and pitched the ball it would just bounce off the 2nd player and then he would just ignore the ball on the ground.

Once the update is available on PS3, I'll be happy to do that.Quote:

and honestly... i smiled when i saw it... really... stuff like that (as a coach) just makes me feel at home lol... only bad thing is i cant sprint the piss out of LaMike HB #21 after practice... :fp:

idk if the CD guys feel the same, but the retail copy feels a bit different. Not sure if it's because I'm using Louisville or not.
It's really hard for us to compare... we pretty much only had 24 hours with the demo and that was 10 days ago.Quote:

I am noticing one thing, the big play opportunity is definitely the way it should be. A high-powered offense vs a middle of the road defense = shootout. At least pre-patch.
EDIT: Finished first game on Heisman, won 37-30 Louisville vs Cincinnati. High scoring, but both teams only scored 1 TD in the second half (10-7 in the second half)
I only downloaded the demo to get the Pro Combat uniforms. :D
I think EA has almost fully captured just how dangerous the spread is. Just in one drive, Nebraska's QB (won't say name) took off 3 times, and Michigan (Me) and QB #16 is incredibly dangerous in the open field. I'm very excited to see just how effective the Spread is this year.

Will say I am upset over the amount of missed pitches on options that don't get called fumbles but incomplete passes even though they are behind the LOS.
I posted this before but when you see them, go back to the replay and watch... are they truly backwards passes? Some of hte ones called incomplete I saw were either forward passes or EXACTLY perpendicular to the QB.Quote:

Only 77 yards rushing for me, 88 for Nebraska.
demo or retail?Quote:

if its a forward pitch doesnt matter if its behind the LOS... but if nobody else is seeing it, and you tested it purposefully Jeff then im not worried about it

Well, I've just been able to do it three times in a row. However, on two of them the ball was going parallel to the line and on the third it clearly went forward about 3 yards ... so I'm okay with that.
So far I haven't seen any that went obviously backwards that weren't correctly called fumbles.

Yes... that JUST happened. Seriously though... it just happened a few minutes ago playing online against psusnoop.
I think what might be throwing Petey off is that it looks wrong. He's right ... the HB is behind the QB, and you'd think the pitch would be going that direction. Instead, the QB is throwing it much closer to parallel to the line and the HB turns upfield to grab it. But in actual gameplay, it does look and feel wrong. It's not until I look closely at the replays that I figure out what is going on.
I was just checking to see if you saved that G, I was going to post it if you hadn't ( not that I enjoyed it really, lol) I kid it is and was fun to see the suction tackling not involved one bit in that play. Big big improvement.
ok G is starting to get a feel for that "sit back" move... thats twice ive seen him use it on big runs...
and yeah its nice to be able to do that without somebody warping right into your chest and more than likely knocking the ball loose...
"E"
What's nice is that it feels right. If you notice in the clip of the BYU run, the receiver makes the stop, but then has to take a full step backwards in order to get his momentum moving forward again. Whereas the Wisconsin HB is able to stop and go with relative ease.Quote:

this was the 1 handed catch to win the game.
hey G if you aren't busy right now, I'd like to run one with you . Ready to test out my new playbook.
Yeah... I'll hop on now. Meet you in West Room.Quote:
