    I don't think they put all the presentation in the demo

      Also saw something cool i've only seen once in the demo. FSU/Florida and i'm UF on D. Ponder completes a deep pass in the corner of the endzone against one on one coverage. the SU WR lands on his back with possession and before he even gets up he flips the ball away and points to the sky with both hands while on his back celebrating the TD. I was so mad i couldn't replay it even though it was a score on me.

        I think the requirement for getting the fall was at least 5 defenders in stance on the LOS (goal-line formation, in other words). If there were less than that the QB would just run.
        Yeah it was definitely in last year's version. I think the defenders are what triggered it. Sometimes the qb would just dive forward, while other times you could take off right up the middle.

          Why does the game seem MUCH easier for me on Heisman than it is on AA? Like for real! Was playing vs Ohio State, got beat like 21-7 on AA. Played on Heisman (accidentally) and ended up winning like 28-14.... 2 TDs in AA game were on turnovers.... one a "fumble" when I was trying to pass, another on an option pitch pic (WEHN I WAS INSIDE THE 5, ABOOUT TO SCORE WTF!!! ARGHHHHHH). just saying.

            Positives
            1. Best player models in a EA football game yet.
            2.Locomotion helped the game greatly. Feels between Madden and apf2k8
            3.The varsity difficulty level wasnt to bad. Easy for me and some others, but many will like that setting because the stats are some what acurate if you are playing 3-4 minute quarters or less.
            4.A few good presentation upgrades from past NCAA games.

            Negatives
            1.I find the lighting to be very sad. After playing BB I realize just how far behind EA's football games are in graphics
            2.Crowds, sidelines, and stadiums. Horrible! Are you kidding me? I honestly felt like I was playing on the standard xbox. Sure, up close the players look good, but at the current camera angle, everythings bland. The crowd is as bad as any crowd Ive ever seen. Terrible! I dont know how mlb the show and bb do it, but the enviroments just kill EA's attempts.
            3. Presentation looks very repetitive
            4.Announcers are stale and boring. Not as bad as hammond in Madden, but still doesnt add to the game IMO
            5. Game still just feels a little blah. Gets old after a while. Nothing really keeps my interest like some of the best games do. After one game, I'm ready to quit.
            6.Still see skating and sliding going on. Suction blocking may have been better, but still feel like Im getting pulled into annimations.

            I'd rate this game a 7-7.5 based on the demo, and the features we know are in the game. Some great improvements for ncaa

                lol, I thought auto sprint was default. I'll give it a try. I won 28-0 with no sprint button? lol

                  A couple more positives/negatives:

                  + I really like the improved in-air collisions and wrap-swats by the defenders. Much more realistic.

                  + I also like the amount of and variety of screens (bubble, PA bubble, flanker, slant/screens). Nice work EA!

                  + Player models are maybe the best of any football game.

                  - For the Florida fans: EA took out the Counter-Trey. I like that they put in the Pistol and I-Formations, but wonder why they got rid of the Counter-Tray. I can see Florida dialing that one up with Rainey or Debose this year. Percy killed teams on that play (IRL).

                  If anyone is having a hard time getting pressure with there front-4, go to Gameplan and bump up the DL play to Aggressive. It's not cheesy, but gives it a little more realistic feel. Just a thought.

                  Also, moving the R-Stick down makes the ballcarrier chop his feet/high step similar to what All-Day does. Pretty cool. Using the R-Stick for spin moves is pretty nice too.

                    I definitely agree. I played with this feature ON during every game of last year's version. I left it off in the demo initially, but discovered that it definitely needed to be "on" again to see any kind of success in my opinion.

                        Hate to keep quoting over and over, but I thought that last year's game played best on varsity with adjusted sliders. It allowed for the CPU to make enough mistakes, but could still keep the user surprisingly honest with the right slider adjustments. Varsity has been my preferred level on this year's demo as well.

                        It's always nice to see some people recognize this. A lot of people see varsity and immediately scoff at the idea.

                            I played all the matchups, and not once did I fumble the ball again (unlike my first game I played where I fumbled 5 times.)

                            Last game I played was Florida v. Florida St. with me playing as FSU. I threw an INT right off that bat and got down 7-0 quickly. Next drive, I marched it down and scored on a sweet QB roll out pass to the TE right before I got hit. Thought it was funny that the game recommended I run an option play for a two point conversion in the first quarter, but I thought what the hell and did it and succeeded. Good thing since the final score was 8-7.

                            Coolest thing I saw was on 4th down with just a minute left Florida on the 10 yard line, was their QB overthrowing a wide open receiver in the end zone. As soon as the ball was released I thought for sure they had a TD, but it was beautiful watching that ball float over his head out of bounds.

                              1. How come UF's Combat White Helmets aren't in the demo? Are they in the game?

                              2.Is there a way to look at your full playbook? If not, is this play calling system only for the demo or is this how its gonna be in the retail version?

                              EDIT: Just answered Number 2 myself! Still would like to know Question 1.

                              Thanks.
                              Florida asked EA not to put them in the demo or the full game.
