I got my boys from USC all geared up and ready. I named the majority of the team (those that I actually know) and realized even a high profile roster like USC is pretty messed up, EA adding guys that declared early... sorry about your luck Jesse. I made some quick switches and have my team ready to go.
All Default All American Sliders gave me a great first game, I wasn't frustrated when I gave up a big play, EA did a really good job of making the CPU actually smart. And also, I hit a long bomb on a broken pass play... my guy was 60+ yards down the field wide open because the only DB covering deep was stuck between two guys deep. Really sweet that I saw an open guy, delivered the ball and a CPU wasn't running at the speed of light and able to knock it down. It was a gimme touchdown that I felt like I earned because I broke a big pass rush up, slipped a sack, got outside the pocket and had time to make a long throw. Very impressed.
I beat Hawaii only 28-26 on their own turf, they certainly gave me a fight despite being a much less talented team.
Dillon Baxter had 126 on the ground 2TDs, Allen Bradford was a horse with 56 yards 10 carries 1TD. Ran a pretty accurate USC style running offence, spread the ball around but used Baxter as my big play, go to guy.
I'm very impressed so far with the gameplay on default AA.
