      I thought it was pretty good. It's fun at least.

      As for this PA glitch that seems to be popping up everywhere, that is unacceptable. There is ZERO chance the QA team didn't see that bug during testing. ZERO.

      Sure it can be "patched" but what about all those thousands upon thousands of people that either don't have the internet or don't have their consoles online. What about them? Oh yeah, they're fucked.

        while i agree, people make it out to be a big deal. Sure it sucks if u run that play all game. But its one play type out of Play Action. Its not like all of PA if fucked up.

        this is why when i gave my score i said it was based solely on the on field action. Thats all i care about is a fun, realistic game of football. Dynasty modes, RTTS or whatever, teambuilder all that is just fluff and advancing those areas only takes away from what matters and thats how it plays on the field.

          I haven't run into the PA glitch yet, because PA is QB suicide.
          Anytime I use PA, I get sacked.

            I fumble way to fucking much. I've done 3 GB's for this game and I swear, I've fumbled at least 15 times. Every game I've done, I'll be marching on these guys in my first possession and the boom, I fumble. They score because my defense is shit and they beat me by one possession. I'm 1-2 and the two losses came by one possession. It's bullshit.

            Also, the PA glitch only seems to do it with one play. The PA HB Screen when your outside reciever goes deep...

              Wrong... had it happen on at least 5 different PA plays out of the ace formation and a few on I and the I-strong/weak forms as well.. It is not only happening on screens.. I'm going to play a game in a minute and run every play action in my playbook and document each one it happens on.. it's fucking rediculous that a bug like this would go to retail..

                PA really fucking sucks in this game. I cant run any PA at all. I either get sacked or hit as i throw for an incomplete. Its just terrible. I am so sick of my linemen not being able to block on blitz plays. I have 2 back in to block plus my 5 linemen and against a 4 man rush and 1 blitzing LB i get sacked because one of my dickhead guys just lets him run right by.

                i tried to play marshall and there horrible C+ rated defense against my A+ offense of OSU and they sacked me 5 times in the 1st half. Of course my defense gets 0 sacks because anytime i am close robo QB throws it b4 i get to him.

                i should really have my head examined for convincing myself this game is worth trying to play

                  For the people having issues generating pass rush, try running the 3-4. I do with ND and notice a good deal of pressure since you bring a LB everytime.

                  Ive yet to run a PA in this game, mainly because it lacks in NDs playbook, and I am afraid of the glitch. But when I run it in practice mode, it seemed like the side i playactioned to would always have a LB there blitzin. So I just dont call PAs anymore since its a wreck.

                      It's one thing to disagree or be disappointed with the way some of the nuances of the game are implemented. But to have this PA glitch that was obviously found prior to release is complete horseshit.

                      I'm glad I didn't buy this crap.

                        All but one of my games, so far, have been decided in the 4th quarter. Kinda cool that the CPU is actually competing for a change. Using Playmaker's sliders and I just lost to Oregon 24-21 running the flexbone with Georgia Tech. Was my first lost and I deserved to. I need to be better about reacting to my reads rather than predicting them.

                          Wednesday morning I was playing NCAA 10, trying to finally finish my seaon and also snag a few trophies in the process. But of course I found out come bowl week that the trophies I'm seeking can only be unlocked by controlling a single team. I'm controlling two teams. FML.

                          But to get back to the point, I kept getting messages from people on my friend's list asking me why I was playing that old game when the new one was out and how utterly amazing 2011 was. Really? After ONE day it's the best football game you've ever played?

                            I would say it's easily the best football on next gen so far. It is too soon to tell if it's better than Ncaa 2004 or Ncaa 06 yet.

                              yea.. despite the PA glitch this is the best NCAA football i've played in a long time.. PA glitch thing seems to be a bit random as well.. i ran a game tonight and used some of the same plays i got it on in a previous game and it didn't happen.. i didn't change any sliders or anything... not sure wtf is up with that..

                                I didn't believe the hype from the start. I knew I was definitely excited about the blocking and locomotion - I think that sets the game apart from the other NG versions of this game.

                                Dave said it well about the game being stale - it has those moments. I think, like NCAA has always been, playing the game right out of the box with default settings - it's going to feel that way; especially on lower difficulties than Heisman -which is a level I had refused to play during the NG course of this series.

                                I've enjoyed the brief journey of slider tweaking yet again though (skipped on NCAA 10) - and think the development is headed in the right direction.

                                My finding is that this game reacts purely on "speed". The value of min threshold (in settings) is highly underestimated, and I think the default of 50 is way too high, which is why you're seeing lack of pressure to the QB, super speed linebackers attacking the CPU ball carrier, outrageous LB jumps into coverage. For you offline users, try to adjust it to "35" - "40", try it out, and see how much better it runs. My personal recommendation is drop to "slow" game speed - but that could be more preference than anything.
