I really wish more people played on heisman. Based on the demo I really think it is the way to go this year.

I agree.. I was pretty much doing what I wanted to against the CPU on heisman besides the occasional pancake blocks the CPU planted my whole Dline with.. I can just imagine how bad All-American is.. I'm definitely going to have to get in the lab with the sliders for NCAA this year..

Either way, I'm reading a lot about people saying the 360 looks far more incredible then the PS3 version. Can you, who have an Xbox please describe. I don't have a 360. Thanks

- Running animations needs work!!

- Presentation needs work... commentary is out dated. Come on EA get your stuff together. No one cares about Road to glory. Better Dynasty and Team Builder. Work on that. The hell with the rest.

- Tackling engine is progress, but I'm tired of seeing my guys bounce off when trying to make a tackle.

I have more, but I got to go.

The XBOX version is brighter, clearer and softer. It is a huge difference. So much so that with NCAA and Madden being the only games I play I will 100% be switching to XBOX if the retail versions are anywhere near this far off. I had the PS3 and XBOX version running side by side on split screen both hooked up with $4 HDMI cables bought off EBAY and obviously on the exact same TV and the difference actually made me mad cuz I am in a sweet OD on PS3 and I see no way I will be able to settle for the much worse graphics of PS3. As Jared said earlier if you never see the 360 vs the PS3 you probably won't care but IMO if you do you will be mad too.

Same game as last year, I'm not pissed since last year was a big step up from the usual. Fixing streaks via the TE is worth some $ in itself.

Kind of sucks that it costs $60 TBH, doesn't deserve it, but I have a OD I have been in as I have no choice.

You do have a couple of choices actually but, it seems like you already made your decision. Enjoy the game

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

In the middle of my second game of the demo. Very disappointed in some of the poor CPU logic that was never addressed from last year.

* Less than a minute to go, third-and-14 for Oregon, I'm in a pass-prevent defense playing as Texas, I'm up by 7, so the CPU tries to get cute and calls a draw play. Dumb!

* A disappointing glitch from last year remains in the game. I return a kickoff. There's clipping on my team on the kick. The CPU declines it.

Does EA even realize some of the glitches in its own games? I'm guessing the excessive CPU fake punts near midfield are still in the game, as well.

More bad poor CPU logic ... CPU has second and 18 after a sack, 1:16 left ... spikes the ball to stop the clock and make it third and 18.

I can deal with most of the game being the same, but I was VERY disappointed that CPU qb's still dont run......FSU's QB had a WIDE open field on a 3rd and 9, yet he stood there for a sec, then fired a 40yd hail mary into coverage.

I hope this is fixed the final version.

On the flip side I just faced Oregon and D Thomas scrambled a few times for good gains. Longest was 20 yards.

I must suck

I strongly disagree that playing on Heisman is the way to go..from experience. Heisman or any high difficulty on EA sports or 2k games doesn't actually make it challenging due to a smarter CPU...they just increase the frustration by increasing the catch up AI, fumbles, bad throws by the QB even though u pressed the button at the right time...the best thing you can do is keep it no higher than AA and adjust the sliders...

**JaySmooov** · 06-29-2011, 08:52 PM

I haven't played the demo yet, but I do have something to say that I think will help

If you feel that, say, it's hard to run out of the spread/shotgun, but MAJORITY of the guys posting impressions say it's better or good, or they've had success, or you see videos of guys having success, THEN maybe the problem is you. Maybe you need to get better at running it, or maybe that playbook/team isn't for you.

Don't bash/complain just for argument's sake. Check to see if most guys have this same problem, then post.

Just played another HUM v HUM game. Texas vs Oregon. I won 10-3. Maybe I'm less picky than others, but I think HUM v HUM is great. Zone working fixed most cheese, and the game plays pretty well statistically for me out of the box. It definitely isn't going to be a shootout where both teams hit 50 points every game.

This is always the classic answer from guys who don't mess with Heisman on NCAA or All-Madden on Madden. Slider adjustments don't do anything for experienced players on All-American or All-Pro. Slider adjustment for Heisman or All-Madden is the way to go to keep the game competitive yet cut out the BS that comes a long with the default settings.

I strongly disagree with the throwing part. If you know how to throw using the left stick you won't miss throws like that. I'm able to place the ball where I want to when I directional throw or precision pass with the left stick. Just pressing the button doesn't get it done all the time and balls will sail on you like that if all you do is press the button to throw without using the left stick..

I know I'm late to the party, but I played 1 game and was bored with it. I don't know if the speed was too fast or what, but I couldn't feel any momentum at all. The commentary was stale and I agree with other people, it's NCAA 11.5. The PS3 didn't help either with the jaggies. I couldn't even notice the much-touted HDR lighting.

It's the best NCAA game out there but it's still mediocre in my opinion. I'll probably blow $60 on Madden and pick this up off of CL much later for much cheaper.

Edit: 1 big positive, for me, it was much tougher to complete passes.

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

the new tackling has def. changed the game for the better. i did notice that there are too many crazy INT's where guys are jumpin 10 feet in the air and catching it with one hand. also sometimes cbs know the routes better than the receivers do. the comp. also blitzes a lot. overall i like the changes this year they just need to do a little tweaking with the sliders

I've also had a really easy time completing long passes on Heisman, even without PA. In 6-7 games I played my #1 receiver was wide open on a Go Route at least once every game. He either got behind the defense, or the corner would make a failed attempt to swat the ball away. Coverage is still somewhat broken in my opinion.
