Are the dynasty updates in the demo going to always be the same? In the KSU and Baylor game, when they update about TCU and WVU, the updates are always the exact same thing with the exact same stats.
No... the game outcomes will always be the same in the demo simply because they aren't re-simulating these prior to launching the game. They simmed the season, then stored those results with the demo.Quote:

If you've been running the option for a long time you would know that it's better to run with more blocking in front of the intended ballcarrier. At least, that's my opinion.Quote:

TOTALLY forgot about the new trajectories, I probably could've completed the pass with a nice lob over his head :fp: . I thought it was cool though, that he didn't do some super jump in the air.
For someone that has played the game, can you tell me what you think of the alignment changes? As well, when you come out of the huddle on defense, if you do change alignment (Y + right d-pad), what changes are you seeing?
For man, the guys seem to be aligning properly as well as for zone. Sometimes it seems they are already aligned correctly, and when you adjust it with the Y + right d-pad, they get out of the correct alignment.Quote:

So, something interesting just happened in my KSU-Baylor game. So, I drop back with the QB and throw what I THINK is a go route by the Baylor WR. Keep in mind, the CB has inside position, so I naturally think a back shoulder throw would be completed. INSTEAD, he's running a dig route, and I end up throwing right in front of the CB. Interception, right?
Here's where it gets interesting. The CB is never actually looking at the ball, he's just reading the WR. So of course, when the WR cuts, he cuts after him. But that CB never saw the ball coming his way, but the WR did. SO, the ball goes right past him and the WR ends up making a catch that should have been picked off. Kind of unrealistic, but it holds true to the "Read and React" system thats in the game. The CB couldn't make a play on what he couldn't see.
That's not unrealistic. That's how football works. That was COMPLETELY the DB's fault for not looking at the ball when he felt that the WR was trying to make a play for it (like CBs naturally do). Hopefully that means that that CB sucks balls and has low "man coverage" or "awareness" and it affected him on that play.Quote:

Also felt that the atmosphere is 100% better.... I thought it was awesome that right before kickoff, the fans were chanting "LSU" "LSU".... Also it felt difficult to be playing in death valley, a feeling I have never felt before....
Seriously, can somebody explain to me the deal between EA and XBox? It seems like Microsoft is always getting preferred treatment when it comes to EA Sports games
I don't think a deal had anything to do with it this time... I think sony just wanted their first-party games to get the limelight in the store today. Remember though, there have been years when 360 fans were asking the same question in regards to sony. It's all just unfortunate timing.Quote:

qb's decide to take off on the scramble a lot earlier than what they did last year.
rb's are a lot smarter too in recognizing where the hole is for them to run through.
Might not have the rights to the name.Quote:

the MLB lines up over the TE however.
also, since when can oregon's qb get hit by 4 defenders and break 4 tackles all in one play? :mad:
Thanks... I'll capture footage of this and send it to them tomorrow evening once I have the demo.Quote:

ya, since there's no instant replay, i'm not entirely sure if it was a quads left or 5 wr left, with a TE in there. either way, the MLB lined up over the 4th wr, and the dime corner was on the TE.Quote:

It would not make any sense to take them out as that would impact the immersion. Does anyone know?

Something small but I'd like to see the refs on the sidelines indicate that they are keeping the play clock rolling or if they are stopping it. For no huddle instances this could be beneficial.
*I'm reference plays like the one from this page the first video Ram has posted at the 13:18 mark in the video.
I agree, it could be slightly smoother but I'm enjoying the updates from the vids I've watched.Quote:

So, apparently they didn't get rid of the hitting the receiver in the hit shit. Just happened in the video that Ram posted above (Kstate vs Baylor) at the 7:30 mark. Hits the RB right in the shoulder instead of him turning to try to make the catch (and probably falling down in the process of trying to make that catch).
:smh:
They always remove some commentary, etc. in order to try to reduce the size of the demo. So far as I'm aware, both Game Track and Erin Andrews are still in the retail version.Quote:

Bubble screens still need some work though a pa bubble screen might be right were it needs to be didnt see. One in either spread playbook, it looks like the linebackers are comeing up on the run. Now more than in past versions the only thing I didnt care for is the gameplan features are still there and pass committ.

Thought this would help to clear that up guys.
Nice little breakdown of a couple of things from Tradition Sports.
