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.

its the two minutes quarters your handicapped so you really can't play how you would like. Hence the boredom with the game.

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.

I agree with you. Safeties allow the receivers to get behind them. It didn't happen all the time. I believe it had to do with awr of the DB, but who knows until we get our hands on the game.

Blocked a FG today with Oregon off the edge. Returned it for a TD. Was pretty hyped about that. Could never get to a FG in 2011.

One thing I know thats not going to get changed that is wrong are the pre game entrances. EA has it backwards. Teams warm up first then run out of the locker rooms. The key players should be talked about b4 the teams run out.

On another note I've been getting some good returns with greg reid on heisman whch is promising.

I'm not sure if past NCAA games have done this, but I know Madden doesn't do it and I love that I see it in the NCAA 12 demo: when your checkdown receivers reach the sidelines, they redirect upfield. Finally! Lack of sideline awareness used to drive me nuts.

This isn't an issue just imagine that the warm ups aren't live.

Going between Heisman and All-American every other game, I feel that All-American gives me the best feel of a real college game.

Weirdness....

Oregon called 3 time outs back to back to back at the beginning of the 4th quarter.

I scored a TD with Texas, it showed Oregon's RB practicing FG kicks on the sideline.

On an option play, Oregon's QB ran backwards for 7 yards to the left, stood there for 5 seconds hunched over like he suppose to have been running but wasn't running. Then he started to run.

Refs reviewed a wide open TD catch that was caught clearly in the FRONT of the end zone standing up, to see if the ball bounced off the ground. Kirk even said I seen the ball bounce off the ground into his hands when he went diving for the catch.

I was like WTF ? I didn't even dive for the catch, WR wasn't even touched nor fell to the ground. And I top of that, the refs reversed the call and took away my TD saying it was an incomplete pass !!!!!

So I'm using Oregon and I'm using their chrome/carbon helmets...the helmets change colors/turn dark in replays and cutscenes.

I've also noticed the wrong players practicing warm up kicks on the sideline

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..

We will have to agree to disagree then. I and other players have been playing madden since Sega...this Max level AI has been the case since atleast the PS1 days. Dont try to act like people that prefer not to play All Madden/Heisman are just big chumps...I can win the same amnt of games on both but w/o the BS...and the passing thing ur also wrong. Numerous reviews have pointed this same issue out since NCAA 2005. I was one of the people that used precision passing and vision cone of madden so passing in NCAA and Madden has never been an issue...you can defend a broken product all you want but EA has been giving us the same game w/ the same issues for years...too bad we only have it as the only option...

Also to add to ur awful point about sliders...sliders dont do anything for the logic that is built into the system...increased user drops, fumbles and completely overthrown receivers has nothing to do with the sliders...its just a poor way to make the game challenging...instead of making the cpu tougher thru actual gameplay they do stupid things to keep the game close...i can still put up a blowout from time to time on the max difficulty..

Nah definitely not an issued just kinda noticed it after playing the demo so many times.

Going between Heisman and All-American every other game, I feel that All-American gives me the best feel of a real college game.

I've been doing this too; and I've come to the conclusion that there is some magical difficulty between Heisman and All American that the devs just forgot to unlock lol

CPU defensive A.I. might ned a little work...I just scored a game winning 86 yard hail mary on all american with Oregon...Texas didn't even try to run any type of prevent defense downfield...it was a situation where I had 3 bunched up on one side of the field only to be covered by one or two defensive backs
