What did you think of Strategy Pad, I OU? I'm more disappointed with that versus GameFlow.

GameFlow has some odd plays inserted by default and is more enjoyable if you edit the plays. Though, I don't plan on using it and will somewhat give them a pass on it since you can shut it off. IMO, the Strategy Pad was something that was an OK idea at best, but not implemented very well.

While there was some hubbub over comments during a Madden chat that the players would be weighted more in terms of Locomotion compared to NCAA (and thus more 'sim'), I only really see it on punt returns as I can cut back against the grain and get some yardage on returns. The rest of the game, I can't tell if I have more control due to Locomotion or being able to think out and make decisions due to the slower game speed.

I don't know how to explain it, but some of the animations do look off like you said. Maybe I'm blind, but I don't feel like they are that way in NCAA 11, however.
