Okay, initial observations after one full game and a half of another.

Played a default AA game on 7 mins with my NSU team against Nebraska. A little disappointed offensively. I held Nebraska to just 60 yards in the first half. Neither teams could rush very well, I was running the pistol. I was 11 of 15 passing in the first quarter for 175 yards. I wound up winning 20-14 (one of their scores was an intercepted pitch on an option).

Also, don't like how the lighting effects the coloring of the helmet. I like the idea, just not how it is implemented. It also makes it hard to see the helmet logo at times as well.

I have to adjust to the new faster clock. I played on 7 min quarters but will probably need to bump up to 8 to get the desired stats and play count.

Also, I'm really struggling with the locomotion. That takes some time getting used to. Same with the new playcalling screen. Not a big fan of it.

I was also disappointed in the limited use of the spoken names. I was amped to hear Prairie Dogs in the game, but they only said it at the beginning and the end of the game and not at the quarter break. Against my two TB teams, it wasn't said at all. Booooo...


Those are about the only gripes about the game so far. The game is beautiful in appearance. The movements of the players are mainly good and not nearly as choppy in past editions. This is just a brief look at what I've seen so far. There are a ton of good things to mention.
