If they did that then I will be the happiest guy on the internet!

The CPU always punts horribly and gives away a ton of yardage because it has no "coffin corner" logic and it generally shanks too many punts.

Has this changed at all?

Just curious if the dog bones show up on the helmets similar to the buckeye logo on Ohio State's helmets...

This just if any of you guys happen to play as or against Georgia before I get the game. Not a huge deal I'm just curious.

As JB mentioned, there is an embargo. However, once the embargo is listed, let us know what you want to see whether it be videos, screen shots, details, etc. I'm sure each of us will post on general impressions as well but also start putting together your list of questions.

Lucky bastards.

Would like to see video on Heisman to check out the pass rush and zone coverage, as well as CPU playcalling.
I'm also curious if they included tutorials for what can be done with the right stick, in case there is something in there that we haven't picked up on.
06-28-2010, 02:45 PM

I will start a running list of requests and put them in the first post of this thread.

With everything lifting on July 9th and my Dell delivery date being July 9th. I am starting to feel good about getting it on that day.

Congrats on getting a copy. I know you guys are excited.

Here are some of the sites and community members also getting the game, so make sure to bookmark their sites for info on 7/9 as well:

MyMaddenPad - Shopmaster
The Gaming Tailgate - cdj, gschwendt, JBHuskers
The Sports Game Guy - Kev5890, MPDamon
Tradition Football - Rynoaid
At-large (post on numerous sites)/EA Forums: Anton32, JStein2469, xRomo9, LuGeR33, XxDaMolexX
(I'm proud to say they are all members of The Gaming Tailgate as well.)

By that time, there will likely be numerous community members with the game after finding it at some stores, so impressions & thoughts should be plentiful.

I would like to see videos of the triple option being ran from flexbone, I Formation, wishbone, and SG Split if you guys can find the time please.

I would love to see some screen shots of the generic PISTOL playbook as I am thinking about running that this year. Also, I would love to know if there are any more offline dynasty tweeks or additions. Have fun guys... sooooo envious right now:o

Will you guys have access to online? I'll just curious about how the lobby and online interface is setup.

It would also be GREAT to get your guys' impressions on just how much the pass rush and pass coverage have been improved over the demo. Congrats, by the way! :D

Yes... we should be able to access online. The hope is that we'll actually be able to run an OD in order to show off Dynasty Wire.

Yeah, I'm very interested in the new Dynasty Wire and how it works.

Would EA hold you guys responsible if someone else got the game before July 9 and posted anything on your site before then?

Just a strange thought I had. I'm guessing they're going to start shipping on July 8 and that's why they're saying the 9th as they know someone will break the street date.

No, but we couldn't echo or discuss our thoughts versus theirs. I fully expect people to start getting the game from the 6th or so on. It seems like people always find it a week or so early and especially from that Friday (the 9th) through Tuesday.

Not sure if you'll have enough time to test this but it'd be interesting to see how effective sliders are. Especially, in regards to human D-line and CPU pass coverage.

on the 9th can you post a vid of creat a player showin the new equipment

Feel free, then, to ship me your copy so I can answer questions. :D

For the good of the community, of course.:p

LOL.

Can you guys comment on the relative difficulty levels? Can you at least comment on what difficulty setting you will be playing on and scores of your games?

My take is a completely better safe than sorry approach. I'm probably not going to post ANYTHING NCAA11 specific until they give us the go ahead.

Same here. I might send a picture of the game in my hand to a buddy of mine from school to mess with him, but other than that, I think we'd all be smart to just keep quiet until we are good to go.

BTW, don't get too good dudes, I wanna at least be a challenge when I play you on TGTD. :D

From the EA SPORTS Online Pass page, that appears to be in the game. Get the game new or buy Online Pass and you get:

- Recruiting Reports for use in Dynasty Mode

- Twelve TeamBuilder Slots to download your custom teams for use in Play Now, Head-to-Head Online, Dynasty, and Online Dynasty Modes

- Online Multiplayer Modes such as Online Play Now, Head-to-Head, Online Dynasty, and More**

I somehow managed to overlook that. That will be very handy... not only for guys that want to create a TeamBuilder team, but also guys in an OD can use it as a work around to play exhibition games. Granted they would have to put in a fair amount of work to recreate their team in TeamBuilder, but at least it's an option.

Yeah, I totally missed that as well when I was reading over it. Awesome. Thanks!

Great to hear guys, I'm betting you were all happy to hear that they'll be flowing in tomorrow.

I'm with you guys, on a better safe then sorry approach. No need to push anything right now, keep the positive things flowing nicely for you and this site!

Instead of my bothering you with questions, can one of you guys who gets a 360 copy just send it to me and I'll answer all my questions myself and I'll have it back to you in a few days? If one of you guys who got a PS3 copy want to send it to me, you'll have to send your PS3 with it, since all I have is a 360.

Thanks for being good sports and doing that. I'll PM you my address.

Thanks,
Brandon
