the race for the heisman thing will get improved...this is its first year..i think it would have been better to work it into the normal dynasty mode somehow...so you could still do recruiting but still get the race for heisman features like fan letters and all that stuff...thn when your time is u get exported into the draft class like normal

I've been struggling mightly in pass coverage in the All-American level...Also I couldn't get Omar to Sharon like everyone else, but I'm not having any problem passing with UVA? I don't get it.

In All-American, I get passed on all day. No matter what team, what play...the CPU tears up my secondary. I do it right back and have a better rushing game so I come out on top, but I don't like them scoring 30+ on me, much less anything at all.

Race for the Heisman was disappointing, but we'll see how it works with Madden.
Controls are tough to pick up at first due to YEARS of the same lay out.

Pick up the game if you thought 05 was decent, because it's much better than that. But, I'm not sure if it can hang with 04.
Another down for ya: that freak mascot from Tol*do is on the game. How does a team that gets it handed to them by UConn in a bowl game get their mascot on the game and we dont? i dont understand this concept.

This is why I'm liking this game. The play seems a little more realistic than in years past. I've been giving up a lot of yards too on top difficulty, but I've been scoring more. I've also been forcing a lot of turnovers. That sounds a lot like our Falcons to me.

A big negative which I just discovered -- I simulated a couple of years to get into the recruiting features and there was no Toledo on our 2007 schedule. I guess EA didn't get the memo that we're still going to play Toledo every year. Now we have to schedule them as an OOC game, which hurts SOS. Gawd I hate Toledo.

I've also found out that it is ten times easier to land top prospects during in-season recruiting than off-season. Just pick 5 top players and give them 20% attention each. As the weeks go by, tweak the percentages according to interest level and voila. 5 top prospects every time. As much as I love our falcons, I doubt we could get 5 of the top 15 recruits in the country here on visits much less sign them all by week 10.

Other than that, dynasty mode is looking pretty sweet, Partridge was an all-american Impact player by his senior season. I can't wait to see this kid play for real.

Did you go to the spring game?

I'm all for keeping some of our better athletes on the defensive side of the ball, but there is no doubt that he is special at the WR position. I'd love to see him playing both ways, because he is definitely one of the best athletes on our team.

I did, but I want to see him against a little better secondary than what we can put out there.

My prediction after the spring game was that Corey Partridge would leave BG as the all time reception leader. I hope I end up being right. And like Jacobs4Heisman said I hope he didn't look so good only because of the secondary he was up against.

I have admittedly not even played a full game yet, but this is my biggest problem with the game in what I was looking at it. I went into the mascot game mode and it seems like about 90% of the MAC has their mascot in the game, yet we don't. UT, Miami, CMU, Akron, KSU, Ball State all had their mascots in the game. It's a bummer.

I wonder if the university has something to do with Freddy missing from the game?

What? No...

Corso putting on a BG helmet is much better than a Frieda head :?
