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

I'm going to download the 360 demo, while I wait for the PS3 demo to drop. I'll be getting it for PS3, but I like to make the comparisons between the two and I can't wait to get my hands on this.

I will be doing this as well.

Just intentionally went for a def pass interference and yes it was called and it was obvious

I didn't care about the dreads either way but I like the addition. Nice!

So Trent Richardson is an absolute beast. I can't stop him to save my life. I'm down 21-3 vs Bama.

It's only the 3rd quarter.

He must have 200 yards on like 10 carries.

I hope 5 wide isn't used and abused online like in 11.

Because being bedridden with tendonitis gives you a lot of free time:

OFFENSE

RB #23 Chris Thompson (Impact Player)
FB #24 Lonnie Pryor
LT #67 Andrew Datko
LG #73 Rhonne Sanderson
C #52 Bryan Stork
RG #79 David Spurlock
RT #77 Zebrie Sanders
TE #88 Beau Reliford

I hate to be that guy, but I don't want people to be confused. #4 SS is Terrance Parks. Devonta Freeman is #4 on offense he is a running back.

This game looks like it has gotten even better imo. Hopefully Madden 12 comes through as well

Some of the after play animations need to be tweaked. Runner makes 9 yards and he look pissed and down on himself. A player makes a 2 yard gain, and he's stoked!?

My roommate has a 360, I have a PS3 so I am still waiting but I watched him play 3 games so far. Its torture.

But to your post, I gotta say, there are some great things about the demo, I am only not saying them because people already have, however, I am shocked at how open five wide verticals still is, that inside route seems just as unstoppable as last year, which bothers me becaues EA released a coverage video earlier on that specifically said the skinny post would get covered this year....

Good luck to guys planning to go online this year. Passing on AA is incredibly easy A lot of the same annoying flaws/issues from previous years exist. It still seems like half the time my entire d-line is getting pancaked in sync at the snap. Yeah, you can get pressure, but like last year it's gonna have to be by blitzing on damn near every play. Receivers REFUSE to go up and get the football at times. The cpu on Heisman still goes for it on fourth down at random times and tries to kick 70 yd fieldgoals. Special teams is still a mess in general.

The biggest difference I noticed right away when it comes to gameplay is that the QB will definitely take off and run when the opportunity is there. I played against Oregon, and their QB gashed me with a number of first down runs. The zones work well. On heisman, running is more challenging, which I lilke. I'm probably playing on Heisman this year. With a few slider tweaks it could be really fun.

This game is what I thought it would be - Slightly upgraded NCAA 11. That's not a bad thing to me, since I enjoyed last year's game. Just means I'm renting instead of buying.

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.



I think it was left quiet for entrance custom sounds.

i have a weird feeling custom sounds for entrances is going to come out all screwed up. Like its going to start playing the song before people thought it would.

Really at this point from what it sounds, the game is last year's game with a set of tuner updates. So if you buy the new game youre basically paying for custom conferences and coaching carousel since those are the only things that are new or will feel new.

I am so good at this game...I scored a touchdown on my first drive. I didn't even kick the extra point, I just turned the game off and went to the kitchen to eat breakfast.
