I simmed a bunch of games yesterday, and CPU vs. CPU simming on Heisman is working beautifully.
Interesting. I've never tried that, but it might be less frustrating than my past method.... couple notches to the left. Couple of notches to the left. All the way to the left. Everything all the way to the left. Place XBox in far left corner of the room.

Seriously though... is the game pretty balanced in terms of running/passing for you and the CPU? You mentioned the passing was fixed -- is it still better at Heisman? Is the competition top-heavy like it should be? '04 mastered this, but '05 seemed to level teams to the point that it everyone was competitive.

If people have played it enough to know it's more similar to '04 than '05, then I'll probably end up buying it... it's not like I need perfection (see: 100+ sack season by Nick Reid ), but I have about another week before stuff slows to the point where I could put some time into it... and at that point it might be 24/7
