Give your day 1 grade on what you think of the game so far? I've played a game and watched two of my friends play. Here are my thoughts:
The game didn't change too much but it did change in a positive way. I love the tackling. I think it's great how you can stand a guy up and someone comes in and finishes him. The graphics are very crisp and the players look more realistic than ever.
I like how there are more plays and play books.
I think the defenses are smarter and the offensive line is as well. The game is faster and that's better for the defense. It's really quick, you have about 3 seconds to throw the ball sometimes, that's realistic.
I give it an A right now on day 1. I think EA did a great job in trying to make the game better. Is it perfect? No. But they did better and that's what I ask. This is on par with how I felt about it when '09 came out.

Couple of things to add onto that I've noticed:
1. I love how the defense actually plays zones in this game. Back in the day you use to be able to kill ppl with short crossing routes because the defensive guys would just stand there. Now they man up when they come in they're area, I've thrown 2 picks during online games thinking they would just stay where they are in the flats but they actually move.
2. I love how the D-line gets to the QB quicker. I use to hate when ppl could just stand there for 6 or 7 seconds and pick you apart. The rush is fast, but very fair.
Great game so far.

I played the game 5 times last night. Went 3-2. I was ND 3 times, LSU & Texas A/M. I really like this game. I have a hard on for the hitting in it.

3 A's & 3 B's so far. Not bad. Last years game was so terrible, this is actually fun again.

I gave it a B because.
1) sub par running backs seem to be Mark Ingramish. in the ability to truck defenders.
2) Not every QB is spot on as they portray.
3)Impact tacking seems to favor ball carriers a bit much.

Jimbo, I agree with the RB & QB. Although, I think a lot of the big games by RB's are b/c some of us are used to truck sticking every time b/c the "square" button never worked before. I like hitting "square", they actually wrap you up. Also, i've noticed QB's get rattled.

I gave it a C. Reason being is all for all the reasons Jim listed, Defenders get into postion unrealistically quick and are able to cover more ground then what they are in real life, Why in the fuck is Landry Jones one of the top pure passing QBs on the game throwing like a drunk guy throwing darts at balloons while at a carnival? These super LBs are fucking annoying when they unrealistically swat down balls that they should not and that happens alot, Mirror man to man coverage is still present in the game but its not near as bad as it was in ncaa 11, Theres a huge bug in the custom playbooks this was the feature I was looking forward to the most but cant use it in ranked games or league games cause EA fucked this up.
I know what some of you are thinking your thinking I'm whining and crying that I need to adapt blah blah I dont wanna hear it theses are my opinions on the game and after all this a thread talking about your thoughts on the game if you like the game thats great thats your opinion of it. But to be fair I think this game has alot of upside if EA can put on some patches to improve some of the problems that I stated then this game could top Madden 05 and NFL 2k5 as the best football game made. But for now I grade this game as a C and this could change depending on the patches.

Tell us what you like about the game instead of why you hate it. I'm not explaining nothing about graphics and sound since in this day in this age that pretty much required and plus all I really care about is the gameplay if the gameplay just sucks then I dont think the game is worth a damn. I like that only get about 3 seconds to throw the ball just like in real life, I like the double hit tackles and semi realistic(thats pretty much impossible to replicate completly realistic) momentum at the point of contact football is a game of inches and no longers are ball carriers guarnteed yards on every carry, I really love that if your the kind of guy that like run around with the QB unrealistcally like a dumbass cause if you do you will pay. Really thats all of the positives I can think of in terms of gameplay but like I said some update patches could make the game much better.

What about play books? I think it's easier to user catch & user pick this year. I haven't had any lag, the game play speed is faster. I know it's not my internet b/c i'm wireless but when I played Jim & Rowbo (who lives in Canada) it felt like I was playing an exhibition game with one of my buddies. I think your grade of C is a little harsh. Based on your positives and negatives it sounds like you want to give it a B but you are so sour from last years shit ass game that you gave it a C. I love you starshaw.

I love you starshaw. Every ncaa game has PBs I like and dislike so that has nothing to do with my grade. The connection is fine but I'm getting DCed like hell and nobody called my home phone. I gave it a C cause there a very little holes in any coverage in this expect of cov 0 the deep ball is just about always there on that. I'm a pass first guy thats who and what I am I'm always been a fan the mike leach offenses, The Run N Shoot that was used by Mouse Davis and June Jones, Elway and the 3 amingos, The colts WCO attack...ect. I might as well run the flexbone atleast I can run a Run n Shoot with that while while having the 3 yards and cloud of dust philsophy.
