Great game Ted. It was nice to finally complete a game. It would have been a shame if both of our great defensive games were lost due to a disconnect.

Well, I finally got to play a game yesterday.  Pretty fun.  I'll start messing with the slides some next (e.g., penalties).  Since I haven't played a new football game since NCAA 2004, any tips for the new features?  I was getting lost in the audibles/matchups interfaces, etc, even though I set the controller to the Classic controls.  Thanks!

Pete,
 
There's a lot of new features to learn if you haven't played NCAA since the 2004 version. One of the biggest additions is the right-analog stick controls on both offense and defense. Using the right-analog controls for jukes and covering up the ball while running can really improve your yards-per-carry.
 
You also have a lot more control over your offensive and defensive lines. The newly added slide protection allows you to tell your offensive line which way to block while at the line of scrimmage and pick up blitzes. You can also give stunt commands to your defensive line and have more control over blitzes at the line of scrimmage using the right analog stick after hitting L1 (defensive line) or R1 (linebackers) or shift them by using the D-pad.
 
Smart routes were also added as a feature of hot routes. You can now call a hot route and hit back on the right-analog stick to have the chosen receiver run the same pattern but make sure that it is past the first down marker. Hot routes can also be used to change the direction of a running play without calling and audible and reversing the play. Choose the back and hit the opposite direction on the D-pad to switch the direction of the running play.
 
I'll post some more as I remember them.
 
Edit: The matchup stick would be new to you too. You can see how your players matchup against your opponent's players.
 
The short passing game has been improved tremendously. Don't be afraid to throw short passes and screens.
 
There is also a new 'Jump the Snap' feature that allows your defensive line to get a good jump off the line of scrimmage (or be called offsides if not timed right).

Thanks for the tips.  I was actually really enjoying the spring drills (?) mode last night.  Particularly for the option, which I've never been able to run well.  As a grown up, I've not really been able to find the time to play so consistently as to know and appreciate all the buttons and features.
