From the comments in here you'd think they accidentally featured last year's NBA Elite demo for this UStream event.

Jesus did not make an appearance.

It's the bad players and the fact PA vs a a blitzing defense is a free sack again this year. PA once again = ineffective. I am ticked thet areducking my question, a legit question at that.

Yeah, the PA issue should be fixed. In a few of the other videos we have seen it looked fixed, or at least better. Maybe we need a better sample size.

I agree. These chats have been a colossal waste of time. They don't answer questions that still need answered. They answer questions that have been answered repeatedly. I asked the entire chat if conference prestige was dynamic and got nothing.

Yeah I saw you asking that, but it kept getting flooded out by "war eagle" and "Can I still play w/ Pryor since he left?"

I think you are too attached and no longer can be unbiased. I guess you must not be into football that much so therefore you are not understanding the glaring gameplay issues that still have NOT BEEN FIXED! I could care less how pretty the lighting is, the fluffy grass, just give me a game that plays solid football. According to you, I guess I am asking too much when I should be satisfied with the side show that is only a temporary distraction until you are 1/2 a season in on your franchise and realize the CPU still cannot run the ball and WR's are still not programmed to respond to I don't know a BALL?

Wait! You said you were not getting this game. I wish I could remember what thread it was in, so why are you here trolling about a game you are not buying?

Well I want to play the demo but at this point in time the game isn't really doing much for me. It truly looks like EA pumped all of their money into Madden. NCAA 12 looks to be in a bit of a holding pattern. Must be frustrating for the game developers.

You still get completely blown up in Madden and NCAA AT TIMES from what I've played. It's weird though because it seems like some games it works real well, and then other games they don't bite at all. I don't know if that means it's working right or like it's a switch that was flipped before each game that decided we're going to bite or not.

To be fair and not a total little girl about them being wussies and not answering questions I will admit PastaPadre and few others like JBHuskers said PA was better, i'll chalk it up to the guys with controllers in their hands.

Good grief, the sky is falling in here. The demo build will be what, maybe over 2 months old by the time we can D/L it? A lot of the impressions from the E3 build have been mostly positive, along with all of the video's we've seen. I'm not going to put much weight at all on the demo.

They are showing off the demo. They advertise it and set up streams and chats for it. Are people not suppose to talk about what they are showing off?

What was the email address for that Ingram poster again?

contests.ea.com isn't working for me...

Re: NCAA Football 12 Demo Details Revealed Today, Demo Streaming LIVE Now

I agree. Don't show it if you don't want a response. They are showing it off, so I think that we can comment on it!

Yeah, I have definitely seen it work in other vids for both Madden and NCAA. Maybe it depends on the whether the defense was blitzing. I don't know. You would like to think such a glaring issue from last year would be fixed. But who knows it might be fixed in the final build. Maybe the vids we say were a build later than the demo.

Either way I will at least rent the game.

It's not that, it's just that people are quoting this info like it's the final build, and they're shipping "this" to stores tomorrow. I take this info with a grain of salt. Plus, you can't make a real inference until you get the game in your hands.

I remember this same response happening over the NCAA 11 demo last year.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Demo Details Revealed Today, Demo Streaming LIVE Now

I'll have to ask Confucius for the answer.

I just wanted to point out to you that spending time on dreadlocks and mascots does not equal spending no time on gameplay. That is a Chewbacca defense, not a logical point. Hence the original bad trolling comment.

No one said you can't have an opinion, but having an opinion that takes reality into account would be helpful probably.

I agree - once the money has been budgeted for the individual teams (art vs. gameplay). But, I would assume budgets are created before the individual teams are - and couldn't that money have been allocated for additional gameplay engineering?

Really, it's embarrassing to think that all the $$$ spent on having additional "pageantry" consisting of cut scenes before a game (that the majority of us will click through after seeing it once or twice) could have been devoted to a CPU running game or making a play action pass effective.

Really, it's incumbent upon the user community to be the squeaky wheel when it comes to this.

But when people go berserk over what is an outdated build, and won't even be the final product, I take issue. There's a big difference between a discussion and panic. We've seen footage from a more recent build of the game, and many people are acting like this is what we're getting, when we've already seen from the E3 video's that's not the case.
