well I suck... I messed around in my first game and threw five first half INTs with Danye against the U... Their freaking DT had two of them of his own tip...

LOL... well good to see the pass AI is better than the demo... it was laughably easy on Heisman... this game might actually require some work... about to play Standford now for real... we'll see how it goes.

I just had my first highlight uploaded.... 50 yard bomb to Floyd he had to wait for it...he leeps and makesthe catch while fighting with the defender for the TD

okay... now in years past on Heisman you couldn't do that... EVER... deep bombs worked but you had to beat the DB you couldn't out jump them... looks like the new ratings sytem brought some much needed realism to that aspect.

well I'm officially pissed off... up 31-17 with 2 minutes to play and they go uber comeback AI on me... score in the no huddle where they play unstoppable... get the onside and score again with 6 seconds left on a play where their halfback broke like four tackles from five yards out then get the two point con. to win... major "I just got cheated" feeling...

okay, I'm 1-1... lol

they did it to me again though... 31-10 in the th Q and they make it 38-31 while playing out of their mind in the no huddle... sad to still see that...

have I mentioned that in both games I completed that Danye got hurt in both early and that Duvall apparetnly can not make a single catch while being hit, he drops everything.

yeah Kamara and Allen can't hold on to the ball thus far... but Goodman, Evans and especially Floyd are all spectacular in this game...

for those who have the game what do you think of it so far?
I'm on the fence on whether to buy it this year.

I had to take a break from it. No school or work today, so I played it all day.

I was going to wait a few days to buy it, but I had no will power.

The game definitely seems much better. They made navigating a lot more user friendly and the changes in recruiting seem more fun.

The roster seemed to be missing Rees, Stockton, Filer and an offensive lineman and roster spots for a couple freshman.

The gameplay feels a lot different. The two main things I noticed are defenders cutting abilities and throwing the ball. I like to bring my safety close to the line of scrimmage on occassion, but it's a lot harder to move forward, stop, and run back if the ball is thrown deep. The quarterback also really puts his whole body into long throws, so no more 60 yard bombs at the flick of the wrist. Both changes feel more realistic.

The overall gameplay and how the players moved and catch balls seems very realistic.

Maybe most of all, the blocking is sooo much better than ever before. It's actually better to have to wait for blockers ahead of you now, instead of in the past where you were better off running as fast as possible because your lineman wasn't going to block anyway.

I played the first game against Purdue, coming out on top 49-10, holla!

I had a rough start (turned the ball over on downs inside the Purdue 5) but took control after that.

There were a lot of glitches as the ball was snapped, making it really hard to jump snaps...I hope that goes away.

Crist finished 19 of 23 for 300+ yards and 3 TD's and no picks.

Allen and Wood each got about a half dozen carries and gained about 50 yards a piece and each scored once.

Floyd was quiet most of the game but did catch two long touchdowns, one a sick back of the endzone grab with seconds left in the 1st half...very realistic looking play.

Rudolph barely played at all in the 1st half, mostly because I didn't have him as a WR in any packages and wasn't using an TE packages. But then I got him out there and he finished as the only 100 yard receiver.

Jones had a couple long catches over the middle as did Riddick. And Evans caught a few balls and a TD as well.

On defense, Te'o was injured early and missed most of the game, but I was able to limit Purdue's attack to mostly short passing. KLM was a beast and had 2 sacks and 4 tackles for loss. Blanton had a pick 6 that pretty much sealed the game early in the 2nd half.

Overall, very impressed with the game, although on 7 minute quarters it seemed to fly by. I only did no-huddle about 20% of the time mostly because I was getting used to the playbook and didn't have Wood as a sub in some packages so I was switiching him and Allen out as starters.

I hope the real game on Sept. 4th ends up exactly like this one did.

Yeah Manit is crazy in this game... and Rudy/Shaq/Floyd is a pretty close to unstoppable combo (hopefully it will be in real life as well)

Duval and Armando can't hold on to the ball though... I haven't played one game where Duval hasn't dropped multiple passes and Allen hasn't fumbled at least once...

problem is the comeback AI is very present in this game in my experience... On Heisman I have not had one game that I didn't have firm hold of in the 4th Q only to see Allen fumble, see their offense become unstoppable in the no huddle... and have the cpu make what was a dominating win by me a very close game or even a loss once. Anyone else having this problem? It happens literally every game I have played over the course of about 10 games
