I was finally able to steal my roommate's copy today. Ran three quick online games with the Chiefs and won all three pretty handily.

First thing I'd like to say is that the Chiefs are nasty as ****. We have a SHIT TON more speed at WR and in the secondary that we haven't had recently. The offensive line is just whatever but starting Schwartz at LG over Allen helps a bit. Also, Alex Smith is pretty damn effective. I like to run the read option from the pistol with him in goal-to-go situations. I scored 2 out of the 3 times I tried so that may be a go-to play from now on.

As far as the game goes, the physics feel different, particularly with cutting as the ball carrier. No more rounding out cuts and shit; the player will actually plant his foot and go. Sometimes it works to your advantage, sometime it doesn't; but I think it's more realistic either way. Also, the defenders don't react to the ball in the air like they probably should so passing seems easier. It really leaves it up to you to switch to the nearest defender and user control him. That'll quickly separate those that are good from those that aren't..

Last thing: has anyone actually used the LT button as the ball carrier yet? I literally didnt even touch it in 3 games and did pretty well. I was messing around with it in the skills challenges and it seems like it could be pretty lethal. Once I get that down I think I'll be pretty good.
