hey mgoblue, is the standard camera angle still too zoomed out?

Doesn't seem too zoomed out to me, I think it is fine where it is.

3d grass ...only in cut-scenes. fail. only played one game so far, but that was noticeable from the first snap. why advertise something that you rarely see?

Exactly when else could you even see grass? Considering the angle you play the game from, it would be impossible to see anyway.

Hmmm, I accidentally pitched the ball so it was a fumble. My wide receiver, who wasn't down, touched the ball and they blew it dead. I could have sworn that you can pick it up and run with it, or is this something I missed?

The ps3 demo looks worse than ncaa 11

That figures. For the first time this gen I only have one console, and it's a ps3.

So how does the field/grass look on 360? Anybody try PS3 and 360? I might have to get out my 360 and try the 360 version.

there are psychic DBs. one of mine picked off a streak play without ever looking back. he just jumped up and snagged it. only saw it happen once. and without replay, it's impossible to say whether or not he looked back previously and was able to see the ball in the air. but in the short auto replay, he only looked back as he was leaping for the ball. also, he was in front of the receiver running stride fro stride, so he had no indicators there.

ahhhhh I see... ok I'm going to keep an eye for that. Just downloaded in 100% about take it for a test drive!!! Thanks man.

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

i couldn`t finished one game. not even the demo.
I didn`t like it, it felt the same old ncaa2011.

I hope the retail version is better than this.

I just got a chance to play a couple of games.

It is awesome to look at. the Atmosphere is great! jeresy's on fans, the intro for Flordia State is impressive! I liked the cut from showing the chief waiting for the que to gallop out to the middle of the field to spear! nice! creates anticipation.

Game Track is a good idea. I like the initially commentary i am getting. This is the demo but it seems pretty good so far! B+.

The 3D grass is awesome. I almost could almost smell the grass it was so nice . . . . oh wait i forgot I had the window open and the grass was just cut, but yeah!

zone coverage is awesome! I felt like the AI had gotten a bit upgrade! I could tell, i had to respect the AI quite a bit more. I didn't do screen passes, so i can't speak to that.

the MOST impressive feature is the NO SUCTION! simply AMAZING! for years we the fans have asked nice, asked with annoyance, frustration, and with the thought perhaps it was impossible, but no, it isn't, EA has done it! no suction! it felt so nice! It now demands a lot more for the player to be precise. I felt like I had to look ahead when running quite a bit more and sharp reactions had to be depended on more!

all in all A great Demo! Looking so forward to the preorder I have for this!

I honestly don't know, is it supposed be closer than NCAA 11 or something? I would have to back and play NCAA 11 again to see where the camera is since it has been so long since I played it.

I forgot to mention PS3 here.

The offense can't advance the ball if it recovers its own fumble on fourth down, or in the last two minutes of the game, unless the ball is recovered by the guy who fumbled it.

I don't think so at all. I think it looks great and am loving the demo so far.

I seen the super LB jump once on Heisman. It was #11 on FSU. He had both hands on the ball but yet dropped the interception.

Over all on Heisman DB swat the pass way too much even when aren't facing it. And the ball gets knocked far some times, like 10 yards away like a volley ball.

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

why are people saying that a play they keep getting sacks on are a bad thing?


Sacks are bad now?

it's not so much the stats, just the way we're getting them. when the qb holds the ball for 10 seconds and literally just stands there then it's a problem. though i will say after my first game it hasn't been as prevalent. but it's kind of like ea is sacrificing actual line development and substituting it with stupid qbs.

i've seen it several times on aa and it's probably my main gripe with the game.

and those saying the ps3 version looks worse, how so? it looks fine on my hd television, but i've nothing to compare it to. i'm not complaining about how the game looks...just how some of it is played. so far i'd rate this demo a B-.
