OK, so I don't want to be the one start the great debate, but from comments I noticed by guys who have the game already, I'm just wondering when I finally get the game...should we be focused on practicing on Heisman or All-American?

I'll leave it to the "commishes" to post an official poll or something, but I would like to set up my offline play to mirror the leagues'.

Thanks

It will take a couple weeks of a lot of scrims and many discussions.

I personally have played both levels equally and I really like them both actually.

AA is easier to pass on and I see a lot of bigger plays.
Heisman seems more realistic still in a total game experience, but can be to suffocating on D at times.

I guess thats what makes this game so good so early on is that no matter what we play on, we will have a great version and awesome seasons.

I would say Im leaning Heisman 51% to 49% over AA at this point.

both.

It would be kind of cool to play on AA with 5 mins quarters...only because that way we could played ranked games and have the stats tracked. Just a thought.
Either way, playing in this league beats the hell out of playing lobby games so I'm down for whichever.

But really, if a game were to go on a record, it might get some people focused not on playing a fun game, but might cut a corner or two. I doubt anyone would do that, but it opens the possibility

I like the ranked aspect, but we have to play on at least 6 minute quarters.

5 goes by real quick and is good to get a lot of sims in for a night, but season games have to go 6...at least.

heisman all the way

After the classic we just played, hard not to agree.

i CAN ALREADY SEE THE SOS for me

low scoring for ole KDOG

so we could play on varsity and it would not matter

Bingo. That's the reason why Jeff went unranked in the first place.

I suggest everyone jump back and forth between AA and Heisman at least half a dozen times each prior to making a decision on which level we should play. I think both AA and Heisman offer up a great gaming experience this year.

I agree. Focus on both equally and that will get you to make the best possible decision.

I think we're in for a great season either way.

As of now, I'm about 65% in favor of AA, but I've played way more games on AA, so I need to play some more Heisman games to get a better feel for it.

good to know uve played a solid number of games that you could like it 65%. i'm sure you factored in a lot of things to come up with that number

You're right.

It really is good to be able to play a solid number of games...already...by Sunday...when the game doesn't come out til Tuesday.

ahh you used that creepy ass emoticon. But that's true. I should call you in, get you in shit by the police (so we can add to trendon's list).

I'd REALLY put Trendon to the test.

I'd make sure to do whatever I could so the cops would beat me senseless.

Then I'd find out who Trendon hates more, me or the cops. Who would he defend??

let's find out

I am actually just practicing on Heisman only, because I am so used to us playing Heisman..........Heisman all the way.

I suggest trying out AA man.

AA/Heisman is VERY different than previous versions.

This is subject to change, but so far for me, I haven't noticed much difference in the running games on AA vs heisman.

Passing wise, Heisman is still pretty tough, and we'd probably still have 80% of the league with more INTs than TDs. But on AA, the numbers would probably be MUCH more realistic and evenly dispersed.

That's my thoughts as of now. 65% in favor of AA, NickWadden.

I will give it a try, but I am so used to Heisman..............
