Having to read two LBs and either pitch to the outside, shovel pitch to the inside man or keep it yourself took me a bit to get used to it but that was a lot of fun. My son had a lot of fun doing the Oklahoma drill although it's pretty easy to score with the same moves. The r-stick juke move is too weak imo. Even with the Oregon RB in that drill it felt fairly useless. I think you are better off just using the L-stick.

The passing stuff is OK in the skills thing. The drill has a bit of a bug when it wants you to lob a pass to an inside seam route on a screen pass. You get no protection lol but it doesn't ask for that too much. I still suck at the manual catching. That drill reminded me exactly why I never do that.

I didn't have time to complete the skills training. Anyone know if there is an inverted read play practice? I can run most of the read-options and triple options but when I tried the inverted veer in the game it seemed backwards as though I had to hit X to keep the ball instead of give it to the back. Is that correct? I do like reading the DT but I was getting messed up.

Speaking of USER CATCH, during the skills trainer drills I only made one user catch. I don't know why but I find this extremely difficult to do in game... always have actually.
