Really ? I like the new setup, reminds me of Madden 11 setup.

I don't like the kick off plays though. Return, middle, onsides........that's it. No return left, no return right

Still no squib kick option?

I honestly think the game LOOKS fantastic. The visuals are great.

I know its hard to read a lot of negative comments on here sometimes but I feel its necessary, to me, there just are some really glaring issues that don't seem like they should be that hard to fix....

As someone else said, sliders cant fix online play and a number of us play online. My impressions so far are a good looking game, but a game that plays well enough but needs a lot of work. Most of this work I think has been done already, as this build is old.

I didn't forget it, its something so minor that i didn't think its worth mentioning not to mention it was already in the old games so i'm not going to praise them for bringing back an old feature like custom playbooks and act like its a big deal.

minor??? jeez what could of been a better addition? wow. not a big scheme guy?

They always upload demos and anything on Xbox Live first because there is more people. It sucks, i turned xbox on and it said I had to pay 10 bucks for gold to get the demo. lol, so i turn on ps3 and its not even up yet.

EA hasn't learned from FIFA' success with regards to a new engine. Guess we will have to wait to next gen X2.

demo normally gets pulled out in late march or early april. so there will be alot of changes. thats why they are using tuners for demo so the demo might seem closer to the real game than last years.

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

I'm pretty disappointed, but not surprised. It seems to me that EA has become content in an arcade product. I have not noticed a single improvement in NCCA 12.

What's worse is that the defense is still just as bad as it was on NCAA 11 after the tuner sets. You can move the ball up and down the field all day (on Heisman) without much effort. Without any realistic challenge. Without having to think, or develop a decent strategy.

In my first game I went 11-15 for 185 yards, passing. Put this game on 5 minute qtrs, and I don't think anyone would have a problem throwing for 3-400 yards every game. The flats are still easy to abuse. DBs don't react well. Zone defense is awful. Overall, you can fit the ball into places and complete catches that you should never make.

Trench play is still very unrealistic and feels stagnant. Offensive line/D-line interaction feels and looks gamey. There's no realistic bull-rush, or block shedding. Sorry to say but APF 2k8 to this day and still more realistic in this regard. EA has had how long now?

Run blocking still needs a lot of work. Block logic isn't great, blockers are often times slow to react. Again, the overall realistic feeling to the run game and reading the field just has a gamey feel to it.

QB play, also still unrealistic. There's no momentum, no drop backs, etc.

For this game to be a sim, it needs a lot of work. I personally don't understand why they focused their attention elsewhere instead of fixing the gameplay.

Not only are we a fan of the same basketball team but my thought per NCAA 12 is exactly the same. I will keep it short. This is the same game as NCAA 11 Few changes, but basically the same game. Gents, it has come to the day EA is delivering us the same game!!
