      has anyone seen in replays that the ball doesnt spin at all it just moves a tad back in forth to make the white stripe look like its moving.

        It sucks that the Demo is available only the XBL Gold.

        whatever.

          i have a 1080p tv and i have all the resolutions picked for display on my ps3 so it can pick the best one. this demo plays at 720p auto for me. maybe if u force it to 1080p, it looks worse cuz ur stretching the 720p demo to 1080p and blurring the graphics a lil?

          i get confused with the ps3 cuz when i only check 480p and 1080p, some games will play in 1080p (socom 4) but other games like killzone 3 wont and will only display 480p. some demos are the same way. so then i have to check 720p so they can display in that resolution. weird....cuz on my 360 all my games will play in 1080p no problem.

            The game feels the same as last year imo....for those of us that like to run the triple option this game offers nothing. the game speed and animations are just too fast to have a consistent triple option offense

              To me the removal of suction is great but it seems that it has led to more non physical tackles from certain angles. It kinda feels like they removed the suction which engaged collision detection and now it just kinda looks like when you throw a side hit or hit a ball carrier when another is holding him. It feels like you are tackling air but in reality you are tackling the ball carrier. Feels weird.
              Yeah, I got that feeling too. Kind of like the weight was taken out of the collisions. It's sort of a trade off I guess, the suction added some oomph to tackles but didn't look natural. The wrapping up now seems a little off without it tho. Still not a dealbreaker tho.

              Well, I'm not sure what to tell you. Sorry? LOL

Played just one game and walked away pretty impressed with what I was seeing. They really tried to capture the feel for a college gameday on ESPN.
                3D Grass? The only 3D grass this game has is in replays. Its actually one of my little gripes. The grass looks flat as heck while your actually playing the game. Why adversite 3D grass when its really not in the game play?

                Other than that, the game feels sturdy. Feels nice and grounded. The collision detection feels spot on this time around. I still need to play more but with the two games i've played its been fun

                  Yea I guess is a good trade off to have but I hope the game speed option is there to lower it a bit. I gotta say that the non collision tackles was killing me a bit

                    Impressions from someone who didn't play NCAA 11 (PS3 version-All American difficulty):

                    Pros
                    *Pre-game presentation is incredible!
                    *Love the ESPN integration (of course I wish there was much more)
                    *I love being able to break tackles and keep pushing while running
                    *Defensive zones seem very accurate. Got an INT in each game played in zone coverage
                    *Big hits (an Alabama safety just blew up my screen pass and lit my HB up for a fumble)
                    *Uniforms look great
                    *Love the variety in the playbooks


                    Cons
                    *Not enough time to make pre-snap adjustments
                    *Do not like the random breaks in crowd noise
                    *Hate the commentary...too stale and repetitive
                    *Way too many pancakes by the CPU
                    *CPU catch-up speed/acceleration is "fake". On 2 Texas INTs, the Texas QB chased me down and tackled my CBs. I should've had a Pick 6 on both INTs.
                    *PS3 graphics leave a lot to be desired. Colors aren't as crisp as the 360.
                    *Not able to generate a User-controlled pass rush


                    All in all, I like the demo. So glad I didn't buy NCAA 11 and skipped a year. Looking forward to the retail version...and sliders!

                      The PS3 is not as sharp as the 360 but I do like that it has DTS.

                      I also noticed the lag when choosing formations and the plays displaying.

                      The 3D is only on replays and it looks nice. The gameplay grass looks like always but not a big deal.

                        All I can say is solid game all around. No suction is amazing in this game. Running game, pass rush, it's a;most a whole new game.

                        I player locked a few positions I will play RTG and it's made me glad I reserved a copy day one.'

                        I have to say the PR's and KR's are much better.

                          I'm another PS3 user that feels a bit underwhelmed by what I saw on this demo video wise but I want to see if anyone else felt as I do that the audio was downright anemic? It isn't the kind of thing, at least for me, where turning the volume up makes it all better, either.

                            I played two more games last night this time being Texas and FSU. I was very impressed on the running by the cpu. My first game I got shut out which I have never been shut out by the cpu even on previous demos. 14-0 by Oregon. Texas QB plays just like the real thing, bad. And the cpu ran out of the spread option on me some.

                            The 2nd game I lost to Alabama 21-7. I could not run on Alabama. But Richardson had to have had at least 180 yds on me. He broke 2 50+ runs. It was not gimmicky either just great blocking followed the blocks and made nice cuts. I was very impressed. Richardson also took a screen pass 40 yds on me which was very promissing b/c I was beginning to think screen passes were impossible. I really felt like I was overmatched which I have never felt that way since PS2 days. I hope it was not just a fluke and is like that on the retail version when playing great teams.

                            btw both were on heisman AA seemed to easy.

                              I felt the same way.

                              Is there anyway to turn the playart off when you pull it up right before you snap the ball?

                                That is annoying but I am sure you can in the retail copy.

                                The PS3 does have DTS audio which is much better then Dolby Digital

                                The 360 does not offer DTS
