The Lions' Pride

Doesn't matter really, they're all fluid so they're quick fixes.

game is way smoother then last year...loving it

I'm seeing Zordich horribly whiff on blocks all game long. I don't tinker with attributes much, and he's no world beater in that department, but that's one guy that I know I'll be tweaking a bit attribute wise once a named roster pops up.

The one I found is not perfect and a lot teams outside of the BCS conferences are just auto-named....

PSU has some serious problems, but its a good start...You will need to change some yourself. They didn't include PJ, instead Tyler Lucas was on the roster. Also, they subbed Moo Moo and Drake for Evan Lewis and Pryor and didn't change their ratings...Also no SOA and some problems with the O-line...A lot of the freshman are missing...

However, here is the gamertag for the one I found....(I am waiting for the crew at operation sports to release their rosters)

Live GT: xIZ GONE RAINx

there's a shock. corners who are psychic and jumping routes.

Nice. I will be picking this game up. The recruiting aspect of the game has sucked for years... it sounds like they are finally making it more realistic.

Can anyone comment about the speed of the game off the football field? Last year's game took FOREVER to navigate the menus and to do recruiting. I hope they streamlined that as well. IMO, they have too much going on in the menus... they should just make them clean and fast.

I am using a lot of short routes & runs that stretch the defense and it's working very well for me.... The offensive side asks you to be more authentic in your motions on the field no more super man stuff....

Defense feels the same as always I bring a lot of heat haha

In the two games, I played the PSU o-line had several lookout blocks...DE or DT just sliced through my o-line. However, the run blocking was solid.

I also noticed some horrible AI play calling on Heisman mode, I was playing as Andre Ware and they called a QB speed option on goal line situation. The options to change the play also were very poor in Heisman mode. If you try to run hurry up on 4th down...it will give you the option of the previous play ran and two special teams plays...

Ha. I was actually wondering this as well. I did

Yeah I've noticed the same.

I thought that was just because I was playing with Wazzu though .

I think the passing icons are when they're paying attention/ looking back for the ball. Last year they had some bugs where a receiver could make some miraculous catch when he wasn't looking for the ball and just stuck his hands out perfectly. Now receivers can't do that, they have to be looking for the ball, which is awesome. The thing that sucks is safeties can apparently make those catches now, as I've had some picked in the corner of the endzone by a safety who watches the receiver and makes a no look catch with his back to the quarterback and the ball floating over his head.

Overall though, I think the game has improved. Blocking is still atrocious, (I'm not sure why EA won't let an OL get a pancake while you play?), but overall it's an improvement. Interceptions by LBs are WAYYYY more realistic, thank god. They'll make some nice plays and breaks on the ball, but it's humanly possible for that to happen. The superman catches they put in the game last year for anybody under 98 OVR was ridiculous, and defied the laws of physics.

You can throw it before their icons pop up, they're just more likely to drop it.

RTG play calling is effing retarded, which makes it less fun to play. I played as a power running back and went to VaTech, and I barely got the ball. They'd pass on first and second, then when those were incomplete they'd call a dive on third and long. WTF. Because we never had the ball, we'd get down in games, and they would throw all three downs instead of just two.

I stick with dynasty, although I always pick a job at a poor football school a a coordinator so things are challenging.
