alredy patched, his negatives don't exist anymore to a large extent.
patch dropped 3 days ago.
his only negitive that still exists, the fact that the o-line is overpowered, i disagree with him on. if you know what your doing, tis really not a problem to get to the QB. haven't played in a week thanks to my xbox, but even before the pacth, as auburn i was having no problems racking up 3-5 sacks a game, which seems pretty realstic.
also LOL at saying the kick off game is broken, it just follows the new regs. the reason you get so much space is that the NCAA changed the kickoff rules this year, and you kick from 5 yards farther back. this opens the distance till the inital wave of tacklers meets the returner. most coaches predict the average start to drives will be somewhere around the 25-30, where you currently start in the game.

Kickoffs will be made from the 30-yard line, like in the NFL, instead of the 35. That, Halpin said, should ensure more returns and shorter stoppages.
"It should create more opportunities for what the committee feels is one of the most exciting plays in a game, and we're not really sure, but it may increase scoring, too," he said
way to bash a game because you dont know about off season rules changes on the reviewers part. i give his review a 2/10, the only point he has is it sometimes is way to easy for good teams to hang ridiculous scores on bad teams do to the speed change, but it doesnt really show up when elite teams play.
