I don't think I've seen FSU's kicker make a FG out of 10+ tries.

I'm frustrated.

I like using the dt or de; when I use the R stick, 80% of the time my player just rolls to the ground basically giving up

I'm having the same problem. Every time I try to make a move, my D-Linemen falls straight to the ground. It's happened with all 4 teams, on varsity, on AA. I understand a d-linemen isn't gonna beat the oline every time but I don't think he's gonna fall to the ground 9 outta 10 times either. Hoping they tweak this because it is frustrating.

Well, I honestly didn't think from the prerelease hype that gameplay would be much different than last year. The tackling system is better but at times it means defenders who are right beside a ballcarrier will just ignore the fact he's there and let him run on by. The zone defense is better as well. Watching defenders slide off guys leaving there zone and picking up the next guy through is nice. The one thing that bugs me is I always seem to have one DB screw up in either man or zone on third down thus giving up lots of third and seven plus plays. That disappointing.

I see it as NCAA 11.2 and this will pass this year. It seems many of you are having fun and that's great. I wouldn't want to dissuade anyone from getting the game. I just can't enjoy another year of uneven gameplay and psychic AI DBs who make cuts before my WRs and having the CPU sit back and pick apart my defense with no pressure to speak of.

I did like seeing the Oregon QB take of and weave his way through the defense for a score. The CPU is much smarter in the open field this year.

11.2 ? Really ? I don't know what to say.......Is this what OS has become......

To each his own. I'm glad folks like and know that each person has various things they are looking for in a video game so I don't fault anyone for their appreciation for the improvements that they see, they just aren't the improvements I wanted to see. No biggie, my expectations might be too high.

I simply stated what the game was to me. If that's what OS has become, a place for people to share their opinions, what's the issue with that?

ya see, that happens with me also, but not as often. I'd say 50% that happens, and the other 50% I get thru the lineman either using the finesse move or the power move.

Can someone tell me what the LT button (L2 on the ps3) does?

Destroyed Alabama on Heisman 28-0. Kickoff return for TD, INT for TD, 67 yard TD pass, and a 32 yard TD run. Damn, I'm good.

always depressing to see the entire Florida State D-line get pancaked at once

I just hope the option plays work out. Because at this rate it seems like Nevada's pistol is going to be hard to run. Hopefully the LIVE update fixes that

You are right it is more like 11.1. I've played a bunch of games on the demo and then have gone back and played NCAA 11. My personal take is that I enjoy NCAA 11 and I actually think it looks better than 12. The fields in 12 look washed out. It also seems easier to score touchdowns in 12 even when I crank up the AI setting.

Regardless, not everyone is jumping up and down over NCAA 12 when NCAA 11 was already a great game.

After playing over thrirty games, these are my impressions of the demo.

Pros:
1.Tackling has been improved considerably.
2.Good job with inaccurate passes/incompletions.
3.Zone Defense is much better.
4.Pass rush is effective.

Cons:
1.Unrealistic amount of dropped passes.
2.Poor player momentum.
3.Poor OL/DL interaction.
4.Physic DB's are back, unfortunately.
5.LB's with ridiculous verticals and reaction times.

It was a decent demo overall. I'm leaning toward buying Ncaa Football 12 on July 12th, even though, I said earlier this month that I wouldn't buy Ncaa Football 12 on July 12th. If I buy Ncaa Football 12 on the 12th of this month, it will be because of my love of football predominately, not my love of the the Ncaa Football 12 demo, which I thought was decent.

I just played as Oregon at Texas on heisman, got down 21-0, and won 45-28. It should not be possible to have this many points scored on the hardest difficulty with 2 minute quarters...note: I have had other games on heisman where I struggled to score and lost.

You must,

A.) Have horrible defense, and
B.) Have a great offensive game

Cause I've played about 30 or so demos and have scored no where near 40pts. Most I had was 24 playing as Bama.

I honestly think this demo is more polished than a lot of retail versions in years past. I'm loving playing with Oregon.

Not that I dont believe you, but id need a screen shot to support such a claim. 45 pts, on heisman, with 2 min qtrs? Come on dawg.

I don't have a screenshot, nor do I have a reason to make it up.
