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.

Texas's RB had a couple early runs with a few broken tackles that went the distance...I had 2 defensive TD's.

its definitely possible. With the way the "no huddle" works in this game you can run a ton of plays without taking much time off the clock

Every time I have lost a coin toss, I want a second and hit down on the D-Pad and the CPU always elects kick. Whenever I don't do this, they always hit receive. Am I on to something?

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

Is anyone else having this problem.....If you're playing as a D lineman, when the ball is snapped your player moves in a different direction than you are aiming the LS. I can't tell you how many times my guy takes off in a direction that is NOT towards the qb. I've even made sure which direction he's suppose to be headed in the play art, and he goes a different way.

This frustrates me because I just feel I don't have full control over my player.

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

I've always had the computer kick period.

And I've done a lot more sim plays and watched the computer. The computer will break off for the scramble, but they sure don't get far... and as I say that, the QB breaks for 20 yards. I also saw actual punts! 4 in one half with FSU vs. Bama.

Throwaways also seem to be kinda iffy. Maybe half are logical, and the other half, they have a receiver in the vicinity, open, the QB isn't being overly pressured, and they'll just throw it over his head out of bounds.

Don't know how the hell you guys are putting up 40+ points in a game. I had Oregon just plain run through my defense one game and the score was still only 28-14.

And although I'm no expert on kicking ability, I highly doubt FSU's kicker could make a 53 yarder with plenty of room to spare. Maybe that's why the computer always goes for the ridiculous field goals; it can make them.

Actually, Dustin Hopkins the kicker for FSU was making 50+ yard field goals during their Garnet/Gold game. He was also kicking the kickoffs through the uprights. He's got a monster leg.

A few cons to an otherwise great game!!

- playaction too ineffective
- CPU chose man-to-man late in half / game instead of prevent D
- cut scenes lack fluidity
- announcing is mediocre
- too many dropped INT's

45-28 is 73 total points.

2 min quarters times 4 quarters is 8 minutes or 480 seconds.

480/73 is 6.57 seconds.

divide 73 by 7 = 10.428 touchdowns total

480/10.428 = 46.029

I stand corrected. I guess with no wind, I could buy maybe making a 55-60 yarder, because that 53 yarder cleared the posts by a ton. Either way, it explains why the computer might be going for these long field goals that would be normal punting situations.
