Late game ai is something that I hope gets fixed in the final. I was up 3 on Florida and they had the ball needing about 60 yards in a little under a minute. First 2 plays were draws with timeouts after each one. On third down they passed for a first but then after rushing to the line they ran another draw play then called timeout again. They had moved 15 yards in 4 plays and used all 3 timeouts. Not good. After they were out of timeouts they did pass, but they wasted those timeouts. Anyone else seen poor late game ai?

After playing a couple game here are my thoughts...

Right i'm gonna have to sneak a bag in the house to eat while i'm playing. Frozen Reeses are the bomb by the way.

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

Everything looked good last night.

My only gripes are this:

1. I liked last years audible and play selection screen better. It takes too long to cycle through plays, particularly defensive plays against a no huddle team.

2. Rain. Just like last year, it seems any game played outside in a southern state is in the rain. Yes it rains more than other places in the south. But I can count on my hands the number of times I watched a game in the rain the last couple of years.

I played the demo a lot last night and the only place the game did not rain while playing was the tOSU and Miami match up. EA please tone down the rain showers. I'm tired of playing almost EVERY game in the rain with random weather is turned on.

3. Lack of a pass rush. I only managed to get 3 sacks total last night in the game. That was only when I dialed up a safety blitz. My D-Line men are getting flattened almost instantly when I try to bring pressure. I hope sliders can help fix that.

I agree with #1, half the time I was cycling through plays I didn't even have time to pick my defensive play...do not like that at all.

Quick question, I thought it was possible to spin using the right stick in circular motion, but I haven't been able to do that. Have you?

I think there may be something like this. I went to juke left but my thumb kind of slipped I guess and my RB spun left and I didn't hit circle. I did it by accident but it happened

Good to know.

Not at all. I played the PS3 version and it looked great.

I really hope so because my demo impressions where that the 360 looked and played much better. I can't buy the 360 version though because it's unlikely that it's codefree (as many EA games are codelocked) for us from the old continent.

The output on the PS3 is only 720P though where the 360 offers 1080P.

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

I read many of the impressions before getting to play the demo this morning and knew that the hype would be stymied some having actually gotten our hands on the game and get to nitpick every little issue. After playing the game myself, I will be preordering it for the first time in 4 years. Perfect? No. I have been playing an online dynasty with some buddies in NCAA 09 and 11 is just great. Granted I only played one game, but the feel is just right for me. The CPU ran the ball on my, threw deep and I really had to think about my defense. The score was a little high for my taste for an 8 min game, but knowing the CPU is probably in 2 min offense mode most of the game, it's understandable. I'm sure there will be moments that aren't well scripted, but this year looks good to me and I am looking forward to the online dynasty stuff. I hope they release a demo website so we can look around and see what it's going to look like before they release the game.

Played it love it

ONE complaint is that its not always a smooth framerate during a tackle

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

Hmm that is strange, looking through the new additions menu under gameplay additions the description for locomotion says " from an explosive first step to the ability to stop momentum on a dime, locomotion put's you in complete control of your player at all times."

That must be a poor word selection on their part, because isn't the whole point of locomotion to have proper momentum keeping players from stopping on a dime.

Guys-

Just an update- spoke with Roy Harvey, Executive Producer of the game last night. The demo is an older build, with several glitches/bugs/exploits that have already been corrected in the final build. Look for an EA Blog to be posted in the near future that outlines these fixes.

Also, while not confirmed, it is believed that the version of the game I played in late April may have also been a newer version that what the demo was built on. Roy was going to look into this and let me know. To me, the version I played was light years better than the demo- and the demo is pretty darn good.

Feel free to ask any questions, and make sure to follow me on Twitter as we near the games release- review copy should be in my hand in a matter of weeks. Follow: Bumble14_OS

Woooow...this is good piece of information right here. If they tightened up gameplay from the demo I'll be very impressed!

Oh and the play of the game for me was a pick 6 that happened in the 2nd quarter. I am playing on PS3 so maybe the play of the game issue is just on the XBOX. I even got a few replays at the end of the game for a recap. Maybe you have to have a HDD to get the replays in the demo?

Penalties? Are there any in here or are they broken again? Especially PI?

Thanks!

Haven't seen barely any penalties at all. 1 hold and 1 clip in about 8 games so far. Seems like penalties are still lacking unfortunately.
