Spread Option game is gonna be scary this year with a good QB/RB combo. I just gashed the fukk out of USC's D. 120 with Barner, 50 with Thomas, 60 with Bennett. Still some stupid ass AI, as my OLinemen missed a few open space blocks that woulda sprung me for huge gains. 3 blockers let 1 defender twice blow up a screen, and on 2 run plays, pulling guards just decided to not block the edge guy. Stupid.
Other than that though, so far so good I guess. The Read Option game is pretty deadly. No hitch in the QB now on keepers, and you can really play off the DE now (which is how it should be). If he crashes, there's yards for the QB. Got a couple of good gainers on that, and the givee to Barner was money. Also, the best run play from last year looks just as good this year = the Buck Sweep. Thomas especially is nasty on that play, cause his speed is
status.
One nice thing I saw was, I started out runrunrun. I hit 'em with some good RO's, then went to the play fake, and the safety bit pretty hard, giving me an easy 50 yard TD pass. Nice to see. One bad thing I saw, was the good ole fashioned route mirroring in full force. Their LB's were pretty much psychic on plays. I wish they would fix that.
One other thing...I'm not sure if it was like this on the 360 last year, but on the PS3, the No Huddle was frustrating to run, as there was a pause in the game whenever you ran it. No issue with that in the demo, as everything was smooth. Hopefully that means it will be fixed in the PS3 version also.
