    For the record, I'm actually having fun. Yes, that's right, for the first time since '07 on PS2, I'm actually enjoying myself. It's a good start, I have have my fingers crossed they actually fix the stuff that needs to be fixed via a patch or tuner pack.
    ...and you're only playing the demo right now

    You people must either have slow connections or the download service is swamped. I downloaded the XBox Demo in about 15 minutes, started at 5:30AM when I got up, when I got out of the shower it was done 15 minutes later.

    It's not. Part of the problem is the low trajectory of the ball and part of the problem is they jump too high. I have a huge "what the.." moment earlier. I ran a post route over the middle against a cover 2 and my receiver was probably about 20 yards down field and the MLB was around 8-10 yards from the LOS, I fired a bullet(which would've been a pass that would be about 25 yards down field ideally) and the LB jumps up and picks it off like nothing.

    Ever since the grass thread over on the Madden OS forums this black spotted grass is starting to bug me. I wish I never looked at that thread

    If you fire a bullet, it is going to have low trajectory....

    Is the Inverted Veer kind of like when Oregon has LaMichael James motioning in from the WR position to the RB position and sortof "running in place" as he waits for the snap and then it is a read option from there?
    Like this:



    This is labled as inverted veer but looks like a midline variant...its hard to tell from the angle if he was reading the end or the DT. With inverted veer the QB is reading the frontside defensive end.

    For a 25 yard throw, it should never, ever be low enough for a LB only 8 or so yards deep to make a play on it, let alone jump up and get it without even taking a step backwards. A post route against cover 2 has to be a bullet throw. If you lob it, the safety is going to have all kinds of time to come over and make a play on it.

    For the situation, a bullet pass was definitely the correct pass selection and there's absolutely no way the MLB should've even have a chance at making a play on the ball. I could understand if it was a 15 yard route, but it wasn't. My receiver was a good 20 yards down field and considering the receiver should have been led, the ball should've been thrown around 25 yards.

    the option works pretty good I like it

    Paakaa it really is a nitpicky thing so I do not know why it bothers me so much, but over on that thread they were showing pictures of the grass in madden as opposed to the grass in real life and the grass in madden/ncaa looks like the texture is zoomed in. It looks great on replays with the 3d grass but for normal gameplay it looks weird. One again it is 100% nitpicky but it just bothers me now and I wish it didn't because it isn't that big of a deal at all, but just knowing that the grass can look better is what bothers me I guess.

    Black-spotted grass, huh?

    They aren't talking about the black rubber pellets kicked up during replays that I presume is replicating FieldTurf rubber pellets, are they?

    No. What's he's talkin' about is perfectly normal. You can't bullet a pass 30 yards down the field without the ball being picked off by the underneath coverage. But you can throw the ball "normal" and put it right inbetween the coverage. It's easily doable, just don't expect to bullet the ball everywhere and not get picked off by guys playing the passing lanes.

    Such are the hazards of frequenting some threads, I suppose haha.

    Exactly....if you can't put touch on it because there is a safety there, you shouldn't try to Brett Favre it in.

    No IMO thats how turf fields are supposed to look, I think the conversation was pretty much only about grass stadiums. I will find the link and post it here because I dont know how to post pictures.
