    Played a bit more this afternoon and good lord there is ZERO defense on default Heisman. Granted its v. but the read option is 8-15 yards EVERY play and the ONLY inc passes i throw are drops were i get cute and try to cut up field before catching the ball.

    Last night I was playing on Heisman with a zero threshold and for the first time in the demo, I was scorched by the cpu. The Oregon QB just killed me with the read option 7 carries for close to 100 yards and 2 td's. It was crazy as I could not stop him.

    Anybody having any success with screen passes?

    HB Slip Screens, WR Mid Screens, and Bubble Screens are very heavily defended in my games. The OL doesn't slow down the D-Line at all and 1 or 2 defenders cover the screen receiver making the play worthless in terms of yardage. I have had only 1 successful Bubble Screen and HB Slip Screen (10 + yards) in many attempts and 0 successful WR Mid Screens.

    No the screens have been pretty much 100% ineffective for me. It's either a sack or a loss on the play.

    On another note it looks like Madden 13's no assisted tackles glitch has made it to NCAA this year.

    Forgot to mention a cool addition. Last night in two different games the cpu went for it on 4th and 1. Sadly however, the punters both through 30+ yard completions, one of which went for a TD.

    After playing the demo a ton lately.

    I tried to go and play 13' before launch. Man it was terrible to play for me. I really like the flow of 14' and how the game play is going to be with option game and what not. Just a so much better game.

    I've actually had a lot of success with the HB Slip Screen. I typically will only run it once or at most twice a game, but it has worked well each time.

    Has anyone found a good set of Heisman/AA sliders that make the game much more defensive (i.e. final scores in the demo being around 14-7)?

    Unfortunately for me the more I play the demo the more I am convinced there is not much defense in this game. I mean even 100's for Pass Coverage, Run Defense, and Tackling can't help the CPU play good defense on Heisman (yes, I recently did this and saw no real difference vs my original slider set).

    On another disappointing note special teams is still a disaster. All User kicks are automatic makes, punts bounce forward 90% of the time, no blocked kicks, CPU returners make no moves, and the CPU still tries 57 yard FG's on Heisman and comes up 10 yards short. I'm not sure if special teams will ever resemble reality in EA's football games. I get the feeling it just isn't even a top 50 priority in their eyes.

    Yea. Using psusnoop's sliders he posted in wolverinejay's thread. You may have to bump user pass blocking up 1 or 2 notches.

    I had success with the HB Slip Screen once or twice.

    Sadly though, the cpu still cannot run an effective screen play. The QB just drops back and gets sacked.

    Sadly no. I had at one point the pass coverage slider maxed out, QB ACC zeroed out, and pass blocking zeroed out, all for both me and cpu, and it was still an offensive showdown

    Question, am I the only one seeing kick returners and HB's not getting to full speed without using the acceleration burst? It seems like the defender I control as well as WR's and I think QB's do, but I am not noticing it with HB's and my return man.

    it is a football game, you can play football on it... if you want total simulation football play in high school, college, semi-pro... otherwise this game will not be a Madden in which detailed ratings reflect the real life counterpart on the game... because in all honesty... TECHNICALLY... the guys you play with on NCAA arent "real"... jab at Madden all day long, but unless it is legal to represent those players on the field true to who they are as Madden does, it will never change... DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS, OFFENSE SELLS TICKETS(and NCAA Football games)

    my 2 cents
    Bingo!!

    All the time. It basically just reverts back to sprint with the Returners and HB's.
