As Ken has pointed out his adoration for the mode, I have also given it a try. I went the saddest, geekiest route possible and imported my high school, as well as imported a bunch of other local high schools I played against. It was eery seeing how detailed some of the jerseys were. I created myself as a RB and MLB. Through the course of my Senior season of HS, I became the #1 5* RB Prospect in the nation and a 3* MLB.

Even though I was only a 3* star LB, at the end of the year, half of the schools I received offers from had me slotted at 1st on the depth chart. Yet as a better running back, those same schools had me at 4th. I opted for Illinois, one of my original three, and went the RB approach. First week of practice, I earned enough rep points/coach's trust to challenge the starting RB. So in week 2 I took part in a position battle and became the starter. In week 2?! Wow.

Week 2 I made my debut, and it was a big one, even though it was against a lowly FCS West school. First play of the game, PA Boot Slip Screen. Sack. Second play of the game, PA Bott Slip Screen. 71 yard TD catch by yours truly. First run as a starting RB...93 yard TD. Freshman for Heisman?

The practice reps are dedicated to running plays that involve your position. And they also have 1 game boosts, and career boosts that you can purchase with your practice points. Pretty interesting stuff. Anyone else create a Legend?

I may try it out. I've never played Road to Glory. I always wanted to like Superstar mode on Madden, but could never really get into it.

Are the camera angles OK on the defensive side? I'd like to make a LB or Safety, but the camera always seemed to get in the way on Madden's career mode.

Did it seem too easy getting to number 1 on the depth chart? Or did you feel like you earned it?

For me it was way too easy to move up the depth chart. I'm going to up the difficulty level and try again I think.

Camera on defense was a bit annoying. It would rotate as you're attack a ball carrier and throw your direction off making you miss the tackle. But it was crazy satisfying when you did lay a big hit on somebody.

I made a RB. This mode is pretty fun so far. I put up a couple games of 5 ypc where I could never quite break a run longer than 10 yards. Then last game I got 73-yard TD on an option play.

It is a little annoying that the CPU calls Four Verticals half the time it wants to throw it. Is that just a high school thing, or does the awful playcalling continue in college?

Dunno, I just finished my high school career at HB/LE , I simmed one regular season game and realized you get no points for it, and then after 3 hours of play I simmed the playoffs, and took a scholarship to be a 3rd string back at SDSU. Best I coulda done was Michigan State, but I figured fuck it, I could move up easy at SDSU.
