Alright Guys.

I actually had a chance to find a USED copy. Some guy traded in his copy tonight at my local EB saying he hated the PS3 version since it wasn't like the 360. That the game looked and played different. That the online was garbage. etc. So he traded the game in for Cash while talking about wanting to get the 360 version.

Like the store manager and myself said nearly at the same time as he walked out the door, "it's probably stolen."

Well, I got home and the Teambuilder code was never used.
The used copy cost me 49 bucks. And I've got the trade in thingy for madden that you'll get $40 for NCAA if you trade it towards Madden 10. So this could be a $10 rental for me for the next month.


The first thing I did after downloading the patch was go into practice mode.
Default everything.
I pick Ohio State and Michigan.
First thing I notice is that I can sit in the pocket for at least 5-10 seconds. No pass rush. I then switched to Defense. Same thing.
So, I knocked the pass block slider down to 0 to see the effects of it. I had 3 sacks in a row. And now I get constant push on their D-Line. I then took over on offense. Same deal. The CPU now has a pass rush.

HELLS YEAH!!!
The sliders are a lot more sensitive than I thought they'd be. I've got to give the NCAA team credit for making them work.

In practice mode alone the game feels tighter than 09 to me. I like that the CPU WR's try and stay in bounds now on sideline throws and backs that run out to the flats. It's nice. The inside run game is really cool.

I can see enjoying this game for the next few weeks if not months - if I find something else to use as trade bait.

Amazingly I'm not even phased by the Camera. It's a little harder to see down field, but it's nothing that I've not already adjusted too. I do think that the old camera should still be an option though. Adding to the amount of cameras wouldn't hurt anything.

The Snap Count... I wish that the AI wouldn't snap the ball as fast. I wish it was variable like Madden 09 was post patch.

FYI, 360 rosters are nearing complete with a great, great set. They are fixing everyone and making these the best set out there.

Locker name - Epic BBQ
Is that all one word, EG? Do we need a gamer tag as well? Can you let us know when they are complete?

Thanks man! :cheers4:
