Pretty much the same as last year with an even easier option game.

Pretty much the same as last year with an even easier option game.

I played a lobby game, Oregon vs Georgia.

I scored in two plays with Oregon, a read option and then a handoff. Both went for over 30 yards before I was even touched.

Other guy went 4-and-out and quit.

First impression--shotgun options/runs are overpowered, and the new juking system needs nerfed.

I have heard this is the same game as last year from more than one source. Very disappointing...

I've only played one game online but I don't think it is. It is easier to run. You can cut on a dime and the new option game is pretty nice. I find it harder to pass right now but it may get easier once I get acclimated to the game.
On defense diving tackles from behind actually work. Press defense works pretty well to shut down receivers and generates sacks. That is one thing you'll have to look forward to in the lobby games.
If you are playing against the cpu against a no huddle spread passing offense it is ridiculously hard to stop on defense. Houston put up over 500 yards and 47 points against me (FSU). The graphics are a little better imo.

after playing 3 games online... my thoughts are as follows:

1) It might be time we allow strats to some degree. if not the offense might be a little too easy. when I used aggressive on the qb option and qb spy I was able to really keep the guy I was playing in check. when I didn't his read option was 30 yards every other play. same with passing stuff. playing normal he was picking me apart. playing on go for pick I was able to jump the route and make a couple really good plays on the ball

2) running is awesome. some of the cuts I made were fantastic. totally realistic but different type angles within the tackles that I have never seen in a video game.

3) I have seen a lot more drops. it might be bc UConn isn't nearly as good as last year, but just some of the routes that I run that are open are only completed 50-75% of the time cause of wide open drops whereas last year i'd complete 85-90% of the same passes. again, could be cause UConn isn't good.

4) I saw some absurd broken tackles.

5) the game is pretty similar to last years, but seems to have a few different animations when carrying the ball.

Nice,

#2 is spot on, and #3 I also have seen more drops.


I scrim'd 6ft last night, And was a solid game, I dont think either of us broke huge runs. He had Oregon and me Ole Miss.


New animations are very nice. I have seen some sick jukes along with some huge hits, and the way the players move now gives the game a more realistic feel to the game. But when all is done and said, It still is the same overall game as last years, But some nice improvements I think

I have played alot of lobby games. Running game is alot better, passing game is just like last year. I did get a couple of kick returns for TDs new juke moves rock. Several guys were running hurry up offense and my D was able to shut it down.

You have to make an american account, its not available to download up here. just do the same thing as the game sharing, DL it to american account then play it on yours. simple enough.

and like everyone else said you get a pack of cards or some shit.

this has me worried about us sharing 2moro man. fuck. I looked it up and early release is available in canada. I might have to buy $80 in PSN cards if its US converted
