Re: NCAA Football 12 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)
A couple more issues I've spotted:
- Already commented on poor AI QB logic, but now I see the QB hiking and then immediately throwing the ball sideways out of bounds and into the stands.
- Intentional grounding penalties are NEVER called. The only penalty I have seen is an encroachment penalty when I got the CPU DT to jump offside.
- Wide receivers not looking for the ball--the ball will be very accurate to their position but they won't look up and attempt to catch it. As such the ball just flies by them. Cost me a fake punt--WR was wide open too.
Plenty of graphical bugs:
1. The background over-blurring during a replay--literally nothing behind the player can be made out because of so much blur.
2. Players and/or referees disappearing during a replay.
3. Lack of referee collision detection which creates some weird anomalies.
4. Oregon's yellow helmets become a really dull Notre Dame gold, and even Texas's white helmets dull to an in-between white & gray. Not sure why this happens--either because it is at night or the colors are just wrong in-game. Prior to the game they looked fine (uniform selection).
5. Weird camera cuts where the wrong players will be seen or they will literally disappear after a play.
6. Strange glitch where sections of the stadium start "flashing" black. Hard to explain.
7. The 3D grass looks very strange at times, almost like a water-color painting and/or it twitches.
This is playing on the PS3, and I admit this is a demo so I don't know how many of these issues exist in the full version (hopefully none). Merely pointing out anything strange I spot in case it is useful to the developers.
