Guys. Go play as oregon. Call one of the non offset read options. Some of them, regardless of the playcard, have the qb going inside after the read. THE INSIDE BELLY READ IS HERE!!!!

This demo build is from late April. Lots of improvements made since the demo that is in the final version.

I guess we are suppose to believe him after he continues to lie about the games looking and being identical.

I posted earlier that I was a little jacked up after seeing Pasta Padres vids but after looking at the PS3 version and playing a gm I am very upset that it continues to look and run inferior to the 360. Hopefully they release some updated vids of the game before release. Another interview would be good also.

If my biggest complaint about this demo is kick-off returners carrying the ball like he's running the option, I'd say we're in for a good game fellas.

Darron Thomas just scrambled for like a 15 yard TD on me. I got pressure off the edge, and he booked it through the gap in the middle of my D-Line. A thing of beauty.

Also, I'm actually having more fun playing Heisman than All-American, which is NEVER the case with me.

Another thing I noticed.......After you get a sack with a player, the offensive line will start double teaming him from now on. Pretty neat feature that they do that.

It is a double edge sword though. Because one they start double teaming your stud Defensive lineman, it leaves a hole in the line that a blitzing linebacker can easily get through.

Sounds very realistic to me. Why else would Wallace Gilberry on the Chiefs get 7 sacks.... Tamba Hali getting doubled.

Really, why people expected to be able to see individual blades of grass from 30 feet in the air, i have no clue.

Really??? Im a programmer and there are ways to give a visual perception that the players are running on real grass... "see blades of grass from 30 feet " ?? don't be ridiculous.

Well all the game changers that went to community day is getting their retail version copy of the game tomorrow. So I expect a hell of a lot more videos starting to show up tomorrow of retail version of the game on Youtube.

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.

This has happened to me once, I assumed it was a glitch! I never knew this was a rule

Unfortunately In 4 games so far, the only one scrambling has been me. And every single PA pass I've tried has been blown up.

I havent seen any scrambles by CPU at all. There were a couple times I would have like to see them scramble. I had a couple of sacks where the qb either stood there or scrambled away then hold on to the ball then throw it last sec
I had success with the PA. I only got sacked twice on it. On one they almost got me, but I was able to scramble and break the sack

I saw that too. Only really noticed it when playing as FSU where a CB was my KR though. Maybe he's just doing a Deion Sanders impression.....

I noticed this too. Is the read still supposed to come off the end? I don't know a whole lot about the inside belly read, but it is nice to see it in there.

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

After playing Oregon 3 times on Heismen, they average about 7.5 yards a carry on me running when they run out of the shotgun formation and their QB takes off like a mad man if hangout in a zone protecting the defensive backfield.

I'd say the CPU not being able to run from the gun has been greatly exaggerated...

Tell us then, how would you make the grass look realistic from 30 feet in the air and give us the "visual perception" that the players are on real grass? I'd really like to know. Honestly. I think it looks perfectly fine in the demo and much better than years past.

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

All I can say is why don't I have any time to pick a defensive play? This was the case last year as well. Can this not be remedied? Particularly with more plays I want to look at least through a couple of sets before settling. This is ********.

No there isn't. The angle from which you play the game would make it impossible to differentiate thousands of around 1 inch blades of grass from each other.

They might as well be walking on concrete, the perception from that angle makes it look almost completely flat, and blended in.
