Sorry if its been ask but I just woke up.

When you get pressure on the AI QB can you actually get to him and get the sack? Or will he get rid of it just in time to have it fall to the ground 5 ft away?

I just had a play where the Clemson QB didn't take the sack or throw a duck. My CB came in hard off the edge on a blitz and their QB stood in there and delivered a beautiful ball to the RB and got nailed. They wouldn't have scored if I didn't have a linebacker on him, but that's my fault.

What's the coolest thing everyone's seen so far in the demo? Could be a cut-scene, animation, play, anything. I'm just curious.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

no defense in this game. The fact that I can easily score 21 points on miami's defense with 2 minute quarters is ridiculous. on heisman

Re: NCAA Football 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Just got done playing every match up.
I was just getting used to things in the first game. As tOSU I scored a TD with a minute left to win 7-6. Second game I was Texas. the game was a turnover-fest. i think OU had 3 ints and 3 fumbles, while I had 1 fumble and 3 ints. I was up big but they got a couple quick scores and an onside kick. I pulled off the win 38-35. Third game was a defensive battle, I scored in the 4th to win 7-0. It also took me until the second half of this game to get my first punt return of the demo. Last game was in the rain and sloppy and I won as Mizzou 14-0. I didn't get a sack until the 4th quarter of the last game (got close a lot, but he either threw it at the last second or fumbled)

A few notes:
-I love the locomotion. The game just feels a lot better because of it, like the players actually have weight.
-Non-huddle feels extremely different, in a good way
-blocking is superb.
-The second game had a ton of turnovers. Actually only my OSU game had less than 2. This might be a problem, considering these are only 2 minute quarters.
-There were a few animation hiccups, hopefully those get fixed
-Presentation is great for the most part. My big problem is the sound. There are times where the crowd goes completely silent during the pregame(with a exception of the faint "wooo")

I kinda feel bad for OSU fans. TP is so fast you can just cheese your butt off or run with him everyplay an the CPU can't stop it. Imma stay away from them it's the same cheap feeling as in Ncaa 10 with them.

I'm still getting used to a pocket Qb myself with Brantley, I like the change it makes have to read the coverage better because you know you can't just run around.

Pryor is that fast and he can abuse defenses easily like that when he plays loose. It only seems like he doesn't do that in real life because he is pass first, run second QB.

He's a pure playmaker. See Vince Young in his 2nd/3rd year. Hell, Young was redshirted unlike Pryor. Pryor just got done with his 2nd year.

Besides, sliders will make run defense/defensive awareness even better.

Definitely loving the feel of the game. But as people have mentioned before on OS, why have replay angles that you don't see on Saturdays? The ones used in NCAA 11 look too twitchy as well.

Also, would it hurt to crank up the ESPN College Football Theme a little more EA? I want to know it's football time. Love it.

I still think the game is too fast, or at least some players are.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Just played a great game game as FSU vs Florida 27-24 OT Game

It seems that the defense is a little weak, and the kick off returns seem way too easy.
I'm still getting used to the locomotion and gave up several easy scores.

It looks like it might be harder to play as a non D-Line player this year. I was getting burnt bad while playing as a safety, but maybe i just need to get used to the new feel of of the game.

The things I haven't seen are cooler than the things I have. Such as... no injuries every 3rd play and no constant "fumble" and then booth review (have only had 1 review in the 4 games I've played and no injuries).

What was cool, though, is on a fumble some players were diving for the ball and one hit it forward with his hand accidentally. It didn't just warp into his possession.

Locomotion has been cool as well. I ran into the back of one of my players (he was blocking on a screen) and it slowed my player down a good bit, instead of how it would be before where the player keeps going full speed.

Be glad there's game speed options this year, from the looks of things slow will be the way to go.

I thought a cool moment for me was it was 4th down an 10 game on the line. I hike the ball an the DE bust free Brantley some how breaks the tackle, he throws to a wideopen Wr! The wr shakes free from one tackle an is in a foot race to the endzone......... He dives.......... TOUCHDOWN! lol I thought it was cool when it happened.

My problem with these replays (especially since there is no replay option) is that the camera switches right when you are looking to see if a guys feet were in bounds or not. I don't care for this new replay feature and will most likely turn it off.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Playing my last match up now. I may actually win one finally and it will be the Noles who I beat. Thats great! I can't stop playing. The gameplay is awesome, I just sacked Ponder and it looked so real. He tried throwing, but I hit him when he was moving his arm and it didn't come out like a lame duck, he tucked it back in and took the hit.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Found an end around in FSU's playbook. Nice to see.

Graphics look like they've taken a step back to me, though. Players look a bit muddier, more shadowed. Might be the different camera angle, though.

I think the menus and fonts were bigger and better in NCAA 10.

I like the new plays, but not the new playcall screen, which seems like it's been dumbed down for noobs.

So far: Feels very Madden 10.
