With 4 games, I wish they would have varied it more. Missouri/Clemson is in the rain, and that's great, but the other 3 games are all partly cloudy, 12:30 games. I would've made one and afternoon game, one a late afternoon game, and one a night game, along with the rain game.

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

So I just finished playing my first game (Miami vs. Ohio State).

And let me tell you, this is a huge improvement. Right off the bat, you notice the stellar presentation and the authentic overlays. EA especially did a good job with the lighting and textures of the uniforms. Gameplay wise, I didn't really notice any control differences, so that's a good thing because I liked last year's controls.

The game, to me at least, is a bit more challenging. Granted, it was only on 2 minute quarters, but it was the closest game of NCAA I've played in years. I loved that there was no more hit sticking on every play, and doing so cost me a few big plays on defense.

I also noticed that the game moves at a slower pace, which I also like.

Likes:

1. Presentation/Overlays/Attention to detail

2. Graphics

3. More challenging

Dislikes:

1. No more Corso - Yeah, he got old after a while, but some of the stuff he said was funny.

2. Recycled animations that have been in the game since 08.

On to OU/Texas!

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

I have to say my hype came down after playing the demo. I thought it felt pretty similar to past versions, minus one or two things. I loved the presentation and the new espn score ticker at the bottom. I felt let down by locomotion though. I like how you can't cut on a dime and it makes realistic situations, but at the same time I can't really see it in the other areas of the game. The reuse most animations that have been in for years, and it is still frustrating to get pressure with a four man rush on Heisman. Fun and improved game, just not our lord and savior of the NCAA series. Here's to hoping something big for dynasty will be announced today. *drinks*

Liking the presentation, the graphics and the overall atmosphere of the game so far.

Few things I'm questioning. Something is completely off with the player to field ratio IMO. I feel like the field needs to be bigger, or the players need to be a little smaller.

Also feel like a lot of the movements are "robotic." Maybe it's the new feel, but I'm questioning the game right now.

This is what I don't understand. Isn't Locomotion suppose to make the game run smooth? to me it felt very robotic. I wasn't feeling the demo, and for some reason madden 10 feels better then this new ncaa game.

My Florida/Florida St. game was under mostly cloudy skies and in the distance it looked like storm clouds moving by. The Miami/Ohio St. game was under partly cloudy skies though. Haven't played the other two yet.

Overall I love the game. I didn't get last year's edition so I can't compare it to '10. The pre-game activities arr really awesome. The ESPN College Football theme at the beginning is very cool too.

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

Love the game thus far, however, there are way too many turnovers. Playing against Mizzou, I had 1 INT and forced two fumbles. I had two turnovers myself. So 5 turnovers in an 8 minute game.

Feels good to see another Kansas logo in this place!

My NCAA Demo Review:

+ Pregame & Postgame
+ Equipment Upgrades
+ Pro Combats
+ Running Game
+ Blocking
+ Jacory Harris 93 ovr 85 spd
+ Ray Ray Armstrong 88 ovr 90 spd
+ Cutscenes (though I would like to see alot more)

- Defense has no I.Q. whatsoever (on heisman)
- Too Easy To Run w/ QB (had over 100 yrds w/ blaine gabbert on heisman)
- Ratings (Aldarius Johnson 4.54 has 96 spd, Travis Benjamin 4.26 92 spd)
- Brandon Harris (First Team All-American w/ 88 ovr)
- Unrealistic Replay Angles
- No Dreads (had to bring that up)
- Commentary
- Poor Open Field Tackling
- No Kick Return Left & Right
- Feels kind of like last year's game in a sense

I rate the demo a 7.5, didnt quite live up to the hype IMO but improved nonetheless...ready for the full game to release

Agreed. The open field tackling and the replay thing is a big problem.

As for the dreads, something that should have been taken care of a long time ago.

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

anyone else share the demo and then have it just not do anything after showing you the unlocked pro combats? I've sat here for about 10 minutes now, and can't do anything but exit the demo via the Dashboard(PS3)

Thanks in advance.
