Heisman doesn't make a difference. .....as someone just said (hitstick I think) it only shows when viewing the play art stuff (checking your play) I would have still hoped it was disabled completely for higher levels...its a dead give away on who to read and will make it easier (its already not hard) to run the optionQuote:

Can you invite people to the demo this year? If so someone send something to me. I still can't get it.
Sorry for the confusion. The particular play I was talking about was with the defense in Dime Cover 0 blitz with the MLB & slot CB blitzing. The SS was assigned to the slot WR but kept a Cover 2 depth instead of lining right up on the WR like he would in NCAA13.Quote:

Just "shared" it with you via PSN message.Quote:

Thanks but it still didn't work. I'll stop cluttering up the thread and play The Last of Us.Quote:

I just played 1 game as Oregon's offense (I forced aTm to punt on 1st down whenever they got the ball) and pretty much just ran the ball to get a feel for the options. Here are some general observations:
- The menus are pretty slow. With all the hype I expected them to be much faster.
- Watching E3 vids I LOVED the coordinator cam. As a run-first guy, it felt too far away and made it tougher to run. I can definitely see it being nice for passing.
- Wide felt too far away for running the ball as well. Strangely enough, I vastly preferred the normal camera (but again I was pretty much only running this game). Will definitely try coordinator and wide out some more later.
- Options felt very good. Not overpowered, but the felt very good. The number of different option types is almost staggering.
- I feared that zombie nation would be played all the time. I forgot all about it until I was stopped on 4th down with 1 minute left in the 4th quarter as that was the 1st time I heard it.
- I could be mistaken, but I don't think the stumble recovery indicator showed up on my impact guys (because it had a star in the circle already).
As a spread option guy I gotta say that I'm in heaven right now! Oregon's playbook is fucking LOVELY!!! The amount of new stuff in there is crazy!
Shovel options
midline read options
counter read options
counter triple options
inverted veers
motion triple options
dart read options (with a pulling lineman as a lead blocker)
Y lead read options (with a back as a lead blocker)
trap read options
veer options
Oregon has a completely new formation (F Twins Over) with nothing but new plays in it. Just look at all of these plays that are in just this 1 formation!
Spoiler: show
EVERY single play in that formation has the WR (whom I assume would be DAT for Oregon and there's a package with him there) coming with the same automotion, yet there's 12 different plays that can happen when the ball is snapped!
When I played in March, I still preferred the normal cam too. I'll give them all another fair shot once I get my hands on the demo.
Coach mode, is it still in the game??? Please please please say yes...
Couple things: First, I ended up with a WR getting pulled backwards on top of a couple defenders, knee never touched and he got up and we kept matriculating the ball down the field :) Was a cool play.
Another cool play was a sideline pick that was incomplete because my dude landed OOB. Only issue here is that the game clock kept running afterwards. Don't know if that's for all OOB catches or just int, but something to check out for EA.
I forgot who asked, but here is Pistol Diamond in the Texas A&M book.

Currently down 21-16 on AA to Oregon to start 4th as big plays have killed me. 2nd half KO return for a TD was the biggest, as my 2 outside gunners got FLATTENED. One of them was double teamed though so I felt it was just plain old fashioned whippin' and not cheap.
Their qb is murdering on the read, then play action has resulted in some nice throws for them.
Also, wondering if it's just the demo but players are randomized for the first time ever. Will the retail have the "real" players or totally random in an attempt to avoid the suit?
I think the menus are much improved actually...

Feels a bit more balanced & I like the new plays I've seen. Don't really care for the new cameras right now but I could get used to them I think. Gotta work the rest of the day but hopefully I can get another game or 2 in tomorrow.
