OL awareness has been shit in my game so far. As in, DL runs around 3 players and they don't engage at all. Also, [uck fay] you EA for changing the LB button receiver to the RB button now.
They like to mix it up like that every 2 editions. IDK why? You're the only person to complain about OL blocking so far. Everything I've read has been positive.
If you have slow internet, you better be prepared to wait a while for this download. I have pretty fast comcast internet and it's only at 50% and I'm 18 minutes in. The amount of traffic is causing their servers to lag.
Played around with the demo about an hour ago. Most of the mechanics animations are the same as the last few years, but the gameplay is alot more fluid. As far as the studio updates go, they're nice , but I can already see the novelty wearing off after a game or so. It doesn't help that Rece Davis's commentary is wonky and doesn't flow well whatsoever ("The Texas Longhorns *pause* have just beaten *long pause* the Texas Tech Red Raiders"). Still a nice attempt by EA, though, even though they are no 2k when it comes to things like that.
They added a different shadow effect to the on field player names, and the camera tilts so you can see the whole field when you hit LT pre-play. DB animations looked pretty legit. Game cut ins got annoying in the demo. Like duck said, game felt smooth, but I can see myself flying past people when lag is included.
Lol, you guys are missing the most monumental difference. Notice the zone assignments when the ball is on the hash line. No more stupid zone assignments that leave huge gaps in the field! Now, the zones are the same no matter where the ball is snapped. I can already see the trends that will come in offense and defense. This will be a LOT like NCAA '11 post 3rd patch.
Oh, and PA plays actually have a chance now. Running seems over powered, but it usually is in the demos.

Yeah, I enjoyed playing on the defensive side of the ball. Coverage assignments have definitely improved for the moment.
LSU offense rated too high while their defense is too low it should be a 99 while the offense a 92. They were generous with UTs rating.
Yeah wtf floridas D will be the best in the east this year... It's certainly better than their offense..
