I can't believe EA said they worked on the
Team entrances...A waste of resources.

No it isn't. It's a great feature

I didn't get to play but about 2 quarters. How are the stat overlays? I didn't see many in my short time with the demo.

I saw two for QB s. McCarron and another for Thomas. Hard to judge because you are racking up big numbers in a demo unless you hit overtimes.

We need commentary during the opening ceremonies!

I think it was left quiet for entrance custom sounds.

Maybe a dumb question, but how do know if you got the Pro Combat Jerseys? I got no email or nothing.

share the demo with someone, a screen will come up showing you the 5 you unlocked

Re: NCAA Football 12 Demo Impressions (360) PS3 Demo Available Later This Afternoon

Just got beat 21-3 by Oregon. Wow. Garrett Gilbert is the worst QB in history, and that spread option was too tough to defend.

#4 is Terrence Parks. Devonta Freeman is playing running back

My mistake. The double #4s tripped me up.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Demo Impressions (360) PS3 Demo Available Later This Afternoon

when i played against gilbert on heisman he threw the ball away at least 4 of every ten times ( i played like 3 games). wondering if this is an attribute working or if every qb will do this

I'm up 21-14 with Bama over FSU with 1:00 remaining.

They take it to the house! Wait a sec...clipping call...on my user controlled kicker!

LOL

Re: NCAA Football 12 Demo Impressions (360) PS3 Demo Available Later This Afternoon

I like that the CPU called time out with 5 seconds left in the 3rd quarter...or in other words with 205 left in the game when they stopped me on 3rd down...Didnt see too many super LBs, but saw a two that stood out.

Saw way too many easy dropped INTs, also will we ever be able to return left or right on a kick off return??? It cannot be that hard to put in...there is kick left and right...but no return left and right

One word to describe this game, STALE!!!

-Intros will get boring after the first time seeing them.
-The game is just too familiar, I can play this game with my eyes closed, come'on guys a little innovation wont hurt!

Basically its the same old same old with some minor upgrades, lack of suction is good, the amped defense is good, the collision tackling is good too (hence, one of the commentators said something along the lines of 'what a collision!' after one of the collision tackles, I thought that was funny and lame), but not enough to make this game exciting or fresh.
I played just two games and I don't even feel like playing it anymore, because its just too familiar, feels like Ive been playing the same exact game for years.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Demo Impressions (360) PS3 Demo Available Later This Afternoon

Great game!

Beat Bama 16-7, but my offense struggled.

I scored via:

Pick Six
(7-0)
Bama Hail Mary intercepted followed by a FG
(10-0)
Great Kick Return followed by a FG
(13-0)
Bama TD
(13-7)
Failed Bama Onside Kick followed by a FG
(16-7)

Crowd looks great, Defense is beter, 3D Grass is awesome, Great Game!

Game feels like NCAA 11 with a tuner set. Isn't necessarily a bad thing. Some things are improved but a lot of the issues we see year to year are still there.

-downfield blocking on runs is better.
-punt return blocking is better.
-QB is better about taking off. I had a play against oregeon though where i got pancaked, got up did a spin move and still managed to sack him. He did take off on one play but had a few others where he just sat there.
-3d grass isn't noticeable, no idea if it's even in the demo.
-already skipping past the pregame cutscenes.
-tackle button doesn't really seem important.

Did they take out the offensive team looking to the sideline for the playcall animation? If not how do you trigger it?
