Two words describe this game. "No defense".

2 in quarters on all madden every game I've played I've put up 35+ points with ease. I'll pass.

On what difficulty? I envy you guys that can score at will. Man oh man I suk!

I can score really easily on AA but heisman is a little more of a challenge.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)

Yeah on Heisman......QBs rarely scramble. On All American they scramble at a pretty good rate. But on Heisman QBs are too pass happy and if nobody is open, they hold on to the ball way too long.

So I am thinking for retail all american or varsity with adjusted sliders....Same thing I did last year.

Heisman always seem to play well except for a couple of key areas. And lack of scrambling QBs on Heisman is something I am not going to tolerate.

Got to have my scrambling QBs and I get that on all american and lower.

Way to easy to get sacks.
Game plays a lot better
Crowd seems to quiet, wear is that big play excitement they teased us about? (I'm hoping its just the demo)

I felt the complete opposite about the sacks. Whenever I got close to the QB he'd be able to throw it away. Even when he was falling to the ground.

Oh one last thing for the love of god EA please scale back kick power just a notch! How many college kickers are making 55 yarders routinely

Be sure to visit GotMadSkillz Demo Tuner request thread and suggest/explain what tweaks/tuner's you believe needs to be done to the Demo to improve Gameplay/Sound/Visuals etc...

Bad Things:
Additional things I've seen, probably already noted...
That Bullrush/rollover animation against OL should only happen against RB's.
That simply is not a Norm for OL/DL interaction in College Football, which makes it "Gimmicky". (I can see it happening against RB's, not OL)

OL using the Screen Blocking Animation were they Throw the DL to the side, on the ground on Pass plays must be toned down.

Cut Blocks by Off Tackles and RB's need to be increased greatly.
Especially by OT's on quick slants/screen's and RB's blocking Blitzers.

WR's still waiting to Basket Catch the ball instead of jumping to get.
**Red Zone "Fade Route" is absent.
Does not animate out correctly.


Good Things:
Hopefully it's not me just wanting to see something, but I liked how the OL/TE/RB seemed to Double-team my DE after his 3rd sack.
-It's actually fun to play the DL (minus the OL issues noted above)
-Without doing any swim/power moves, the DL tries to push his way to the QB

New Tackle animations.
LB dove and one hand grabbed my RB's shoulder pad on a Sweep play and spun him around due to how the contact occured. (nice)

WR's dropping balls when hit as they are making the catch.
-I will tweak injury ratings downward again for WR/TE's so that when they are put in a situation were they will get there "Head-Knocked-Off", they should get injured.

Again, Ratings will have to be adjusted Downward across the board to help clean up/minimize some of the Negative things we're seeing but it's a Buy for me to fill my College Football Void!!!

**Has it been noted how many Playbooks we can do?
-Some plays don't make sense need to be removed completely (Double Corner Blitz) as they are rarely/if ever done at the college level.

To me overall its plays a solid football game and its better den last years so i cant complain

If thats what you thought I wanted, then I have to think you didnt even bother reading my post at all. Glad you like the game.....my 12 year old could have completed some of those passes. The games passing logic made no sense. The game did not play correctly IMO. I am perfectly fine with throwing bad passes, if there is cause for it. Tight throw,long throw, throw on the run, throw under pressure, throw on the run,ec.....I am not about any of those situations in my posts. Just wide open 5-10 yard bad passes, but me and the receiver just standing there for seconds. It felt very random and CPU dictated.

It's a demo man! Probably a 2 month old build... Calm, they have done a ton of tuning since then.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)

I see they didn't fix the broken hurry up offenses for spread teams. Sure some spread teams don't huddle, but they also wait 20-30 seconds to get the play called in from the sideline and sub guys in and out. Not every teams hurries to the line and snaps the ball within 10 seconds of the last play unless you're Gus Malzahn. I know its a minor gripe, but its one that irritated me from last year.

Other than that the game plays what I expected which feels like a more polished version of NCAA 11.

Not only that, but the damn clock doesn't start running until the players are set! It should start running as soon as the ref spots the ball!

What? In all of my games I have yet to pass 20! Highest scoring was 17-10, and then 16-10. How do you even get in that many possessions?

Re: NCAA Football 12 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)

Is the Texas field turf????? Can anyone tell or not?

Yes. You can tell especially in the end zones.

The grass only looks 3-d after the play when it is zoomed on the field. When you are in-game it looks exactly the same as usual to me.

How many games have you seen where you can tell their is 3D grass on a TV broadcast? How high is the grass supposed to be?

The only game I can recall seeing the grass in a normal broadcast angle was USC vs ND in South Bend about 6 years ago.

Why does Alabama's entire secondary have dreads?

Re: NCAA Football 12 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)

trent richardson is unstoppable. He just ran all over me. 200+ yards. Nothing i called could stop him. And it wasn't really him it was the Bama blocking. They picked up every block and i could never get off of them. Richardson hurdled the line a few times and made nice runs but wow is the cpu running game strong for Bama. This is on Heisman btw.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)

Anybody else have a lot of turnovers resulting in touchdowns? Pretty much every game I play I take a pick to the house. Also, the computer sacks me and I fumble a lot, and 90% of the time, they pick it up and take it the distance.

I like strong defense in a video game, but that doesn't mean it should be turnover city!

it was so stupid of them to make the dreads so long. I mean common sense if these guys watched just one Saturday of college football they'd know its not a common thing for dreads to be THAT long. So if youre going to pick 1 style to have in the game you def don't choose that one. I think i'd rather have the Madden ponytail style than these long Predator looking things.
