like 9 Shotgun Formations.

 
Wow we finally have some shotgun formations! I've been waiting for that to happen for a while. Everytime I played with Michigan last year I would always have to switch playbooks because we didnt have the shotgun.

Heres a video I found, It shows MSU at Michigan, get too see some footage the the stadium and the team.

I found out Carson Butler is an 82 overall with 85 speed.
 
 
EA royally screwed up our roster this year. If you're going to make him an 82, he has at least 89 speed. Fastest Tight End was Ingram from Florida a 90 and then it was Beckum from Wisconsin with an 89.

I found out Carson Butler is an 82 overall with 85 speed.

 
Thats so stupid! It's gonna be so freakin hard to win online.

I am an elite recruiter in these games, and I want to see how the recruiting has changed. Usually I filled my 25 spots up with 12-15 5 stars and the rest 4 stars. The only time I got a 3 star or lower was a kicker or punter.

Yeah recruiting is always fun! I like to create prospects like this year I'll probably create Newsome, Beaver. and Campbell. I'm just mad because I'm going on vacation this whole upcoming week and I'm not gonna get to play the game until I get back next saturday, but myrtle beach is always sweet so I'll pry forget about it!

I was going to suggest throwing together one of those online dynasties with no one but UMGoBlue.com posters.  However, there might be a small issue of everyone insisting on playing as the mazie and blue.

The entire Michigan Roster with Ratings!

Greg Matthews, Terrance Taylor, and Brandon Harrison are our impact players.

That's sad, why would Brandon Harrison be an impact player and not a more proven player? EA Sports has a tendancy to make stupid roster mistakes, they need to take more time on them and make them more accurate.

I'm hoping the Meijer across from my house will have the game in-stock at midnight tonight...

The 15th is almost here, im so pumped!

Got a copy at Meijer tonight... Here's what I've noticed, even though I haven't played an entire game yet

• The game doesn't look as great as last year from the normal angle, but it runs somewhat smoother. My TV settings are a little off, but you have to do a replay and zoom in to make it look like a next-gen game.
• When you throw the ball receivers get decked a lot more. If it gets tipped heads go flying. If a receiver is struggling to make the catch, look out. The ball gets slapped up sometimes, not like the old games where if it did you were like, "Woah! Did that just happen or am I losing it?". This makes defending the pass a little less painful and more entertaining.
• Juking is pretty cool. In old games you could just spin on a dime, and in NCAA '08 it looked like an old man's attempt. The '09 version is between the two. Spins look realistic and are effective if you time them right, but it's a lot harder to just go flying right around somebody. Sidestepping jukes are a lot more effective than in '08, which makes me a lot happier because they absolutely sucked last year (you would press it and then proceed to juke ten minutes later, no more of that).
  
• The defense isn't retarded when it comes to options anymore. If you pitch the ball and the defender isn't close enough he'll angle back towards the pitch man. This means you have to time it better or the defense usually stops you for a small gain or a loss. THE BIGGEST difference so far is pitching it on the option. You can't wing it from an inch off the ground anymore, it is extremely realistic. If a tackler has your pitching arm, you won't ever get it off. If he does and you somehow do it is always bad. This is greeeaaatt to see because people online always used the option and as you celebrated killing the QB he would magically pitch it off through the defender, un-touched into the endzone. No more newbie pitching.
• There are two new mini-games, HORSE and Special Teams Challenge. HORSE is alright, you can spot the ball in any ridiculous fashion (even ten yards outside the hash), and change the wind up to 25 mph. If you hit the attempt and the other guy misses, he gets a letter. Pretty simple. Special teams challenge starts with a kickoff, then you punt back and forth until one gets back or somebody gets close enough to kick a game-winning field goal (if you miss on Heisman you lose). ANY score ends the game.
• Last but not least, dynasty has a recruiting gizmo that tells the computer what type of athletes to recruit and how important each position is. So, in Michigan's modern case, you can tell the CPU that WRs should all be the "speed" type, and that their importance is high. Pretty awesome.
  

I suck at the game right now, but I'm sure with some practice and online games I'll be back into the normal 10 game win-streak type thing. So far, I am mildly impressed, only because it looks foreign and I'm not that good. In a month I will love the game to death.

This game is really fun playing as Michigan this year as its a challenge vs the CPU. QB play just sucks in general, but the running game is ridiculous with UM.
 
I put Grady at FB, Brown as the starter, and McGuffie as the backup. McGuffie is the real deal in this game even though he is a 77 overall.
 
 
If you guys want the names of the rosters.
 
Put in EAROSTERS COM as the gamertag......unless its for ps3. He'll have them done shortly.
 
Make sure you leave a space between Rosters and Com.
 
After you get them, back out and then load the rosters.

I got the rosters. Thanks.
 
Why do our players on the sideline have white shoes on???????
 
Also did you notice that you have the option on your players to wear high socks? You have to do every player individually but it is still cool.

Man, just played against ND and won 51-20 and McGuffie had the game of his life.
 
1 reception, 17 yards, 1 TD
13 carries, 112 yards, 1 TD
64 yard kick return (dragged down at the 23
30 yard kick return
45 yard punt return (dragged down at opponents 30)
and another like 30 yard punt return
 
 
Guy is a monster. Brown had like 89 yards on 22 carries and 2 TD's.

I have Minor starting with Brown getting some carries. McGuffie is my punt returner and kick returner with Michael Shaw. ( I thought I would let the freshmen have some fun) McGuffie won the Ret. of the year award and an All American.
 
I only played the major games. And like I said about the recruiting...I AM A BEAST.
 
14 *****
5****
 
#1 ranked T, FS, MLB, RB, WR, DE, G
 
#2 ranked G, T, FS, RB, WR, OLB,
 
#3 ranked QB (Scrambler)
 
And the other 5 were top ten **** at their positions.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I thought recruiting was very easy if you put the time into it.

Is this happening to you? I switch Threet jeresy number to 10, but when I go online its still at 15 lol

Has anyone tried the " upload video " yet??  Heres a run I had with Minor

Has anbody noticed on replays that when you throw a pass the ball does not spiral? The ball just stays still while it goes through the air. Stuff like that bothers me like the players on the sidelines having white shoes on. It's stupid!

Maybe you should make the next game.  I'm sure it'll be perfect then.  Come on, seriously, You're upset over ****e shoes on the sideline players and the ball not spiralling on replays?  What next, the clouds don't move in the proper direction for AA?

Idk just stupid stuff like that bothers me man. Maybe I should make the game next year! The only problem would be that I'd probably make all the UM players 99's and the OSU players 59's
