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

I love the "male parts" compensation talk going on this thread about how the game is too easy for them.

Find a good mode for you and the right pair of sliders and play the game where it is at a difficulty level you are comfortable with. No need to have 200 comments about how "below you" playing on default Varsity or All-American is.

i'm not bragging about being great at the game because if i play against another user i usually lose (typically because i don't know how to play user vs user games, yes there are different ways to play where people cover the whole field as the FS and use certain plays to expose the AI). But against the cpu i just can't get a tough game against the cpu on anything other than Heisman. If i play on a lesser difficulty i find it way too easy to either run for as many yards as i want or throw for as much as i want. With Heisman there is at least some competition from the computer.

This year it seems like heisman sliders are going to be where its at.

Ehhhhh think I might have to play on Heisman this year, All American seems much easier this year then it did in the past.

Skillz, I know your big on Qb run logic as am I, have you noticed any difference compared to last years version?

Overall I'm impressed, but I hate it when me or the A.I QB gets hit and the ball comes loose it's never a fumble. One time I ran all the way back to see then I threw as I was hit never fumbled or picked.

I actually had the opposite. I got the pass off and it was called a fumble. Damn tuck rule like Patriots vs Oakland. Making it worse it was on the 5 yd line and the cpu picked it up and ran it in for 6.

I swear some of you would complain if your QB doesn't complete more than 75% of his passes because it's "not sim" or "too arcade"


OS is funny like that.

Hopefully next year 3D grass will be in at all times. Even on cutscenes its not always there. And sometimes you can see it transition from the old look to 3D.

its amazing that companies continue to basically stiff arm PS3 users by releasing everything to Xbox people first. Its annoying on COD that we always have to wait a month after the xbox people to get new map packs.

Microsoft is paying for it so they can get it first on the XBOX 1st releases. On the other hand, PS3's Store gets updated later so that everyone gets the content at the same time when more people are likely to be on. It does suck, but they're trying to be "fair."

Bltizing the cpu is like shooting fish in a barrel. Did a double safety blitz out of the nickel. Didn't even touch anything. Both safeties hit the Texas QB at the same time, he fumbled, my team scooped it up and ran it back for a 40 yard TD fumble recovery.

So far I managed to get a sack out of every blitz play I called. Double safety, CB, NB, Rlb, Llb, zone blitz.......

I can see people online playing with a fast defense wreaking havoc on people who like to roll out with the QB. You blitz anybody and they getting there to the QB fast.

Texas secondary is bad though. They must have had a lot of people graduate or something. And their QB is even worse. When he misses throws, he misses by a wide margin.

Loved seeing him getting yelled at though. Halftime he threw 4 INTs and sacked 4 times. Wish they benched players performing badly.

Just played the FSU vs Alabama demo on the Xbox 360. Great graphics, great enterance for FSU, crowd sound was bland though.

Pros:
-New Tackling Engine looks and feels great! This was a darkhorse for me, because they really did not hype it up as much. I don't feel anymore suction tackles, and I just love it!
-Game feels a lot more smooth.
Cons:
-I played on All American, and felt that the game was a tad bit easy. Maybe it was because of the shortened quatars, but the Alabama Offense really did not put up anything.

Overall, I am very happy! I am excited to see what this game brings and feel like this could be a good year for the NCAA fans!

I am to an extent. I will wait to see the actual game. But it is also impossible to hurry up and spike it in a quick manner like irl. You have to have 10 seconds to just call spike and get everyone up to the line on the game. And forget the cpu ever trying that even. In a way it may balance it out.

I guess only I can see the chalk that actually looks like it's sticking up.
