welcome, and wait for the madden demo, and or you could rent them both for a week from like blockbuster, and well see what you think from their. Me personally I dont wanna just use 32 teams like madden i love having 119 of them to try and well the college atmosphere. Everyone has their own opinions so dont let anyone influence ur decision

I understand what ur sayin dude, I LOVE the NFL, don't really WATCH college that much, but playin the game, it's really exciting.

I'm definitely waiting on the demo, as I'm actually not planning on pre-ordering NCAA.

What'd u think of the demo by the way?

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

I love it and think it is the best by far. I love the college game and just watch NFL games for my steelers. I always buy NCAA football for me and love playing it every year, I buy madden every couple of years to play against my friends since we all have different favorite teams. The best feature they added to both games are the online seasons because of playing with friends and they dont have to crowd up my bedroom to play lol

I just played as Oregon on AA just to change it up from Heisman. I did end up tackling the punter before he punted the ball, but that is because I had this cheesey method last year and wanted to see if I could use it this year and you can, even better.

I also ran read option plays most of the game and one thing I noticed that never happened to me on Heisman was the DE would break on the RB and I would keep it like I am supposed to with Thomas, but the DE would instantly turn and tackle me after the fake hand off. I never saw this on Heisman, but it happened 3-4 times in that one AA game. I did, however, get the triple option to work all but one time.

I really am excited this year, but am still undecided about Heisman and AA. I want to go AA because the CPU scrambles more, but on Heisman I have better run success with the read option and so does the CPU. I'll probably go AA with sliders like always.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
