Interesting, so far from my experience with the demo this is the first time Heisman doesn't have the super/psychic defenders.

It seemed like the DB's just decided to stand there for a second until my WR passed them.

I also completed almost every pass in the middle of the field. I had a couple knocked down to be fair. There was one pass in the redzone where I called a dig route and the DB stayed with me as my WR cut to the middle and then He literally just stopped on a dime and stood there. Im really not seeing the improved Zone D when it comes to deep balls or the middle of the field. I am pretty disappointed right now. I want this game to be great. But this is unacceptable to me.

I will wait and see what the first patch and tuners do before I buy this year.
Wow. 38-0? I'm just glad if I can reach 10 on AA or Heisman.

pros: shotgun running is drastically improved. run blocking in general seems improved. zone defense is actually playable. CPU QB's have shown the ability to scramble. CPU controlled players on the human team actually rush the passer.

cons: CPU is so blitz happy it's embarrassing (again). countless double corner blitzes, 8 man rushes against empty, etc... zone read animation takes forever (again). play action is nearly an automatic sack regardless of how well you're running the ball and setting it up (again). nearly every incompletion i throw is a result of DL batting it down at the line or an LB busting out the superman jump(again).

very disappointed.....at least we got dreads though

Yes, just go check the options.

I know it's probably a n00bie question, but I haven't had internet in weeks. Have the terrible graphics on PS3 been addressed?
Because Auburn fans are stupid...lol, jk
Yeah if the PS3 game looks as bad as the demo I'm not buying it.

Glad I tried out both demos though will be getting XBox for sure now though.
I noticed the text as well, and I played the 360 demo. It was some kind of strange "Times New Roman" font that was pretty large on the screen. I also had problems figuring out which player I was controlling because of it. Other than that, I really have nothing else to report.

Returned my first demo kick-off for TD today with Kenjon Barner. 99 yards.

-I feel like I have no control of the DL. There's no rhyme or reason to any of the moves is what it feels like. Very frustrating. The moves just don't feel like they work at all.

-Offensively, am I the only one having a ton of drops? (Heisman)

-Loving the running game between the tackles, outside the tackles not so much

two fun games as bama tonight. a couple moments that stood out were first as a LB I blitzed past the LG for a sack and he raised his hands up to his head because he was mad at himself as I was laying on top of his QB. then later in the game FSU was inside my 5 and I was in goal line D to their 5 wide set. Brad said something along the lines of "several mismatches to choose from here as the D goes heavy on the line to counter the 5 wrs" I hadn't heard that one before

I do agree JakeReaves that DL control needs some work, but is it me or do DL fire off the ball much better than when this demo first dropped? In one of my first games after downloading the DE I was controlling stood straight up after the snap, but now they get off the ball much better

Not trying to put the defense at a worse advantage, but shouldn't away teams on defense feel the pressure too. on offense as the away team your players lose composure and the squiggly lines. shouldn't you have the same on defense as the away team too. Also this is an art issue, but should the cheerleaders have the school name or logo on their clothing instead of a blank spot.

Why am I not seeing this ease in kickoff returns? I've played 6 or 7 games and there have been 0 KR returns by either team. I usually get to about the 30 and the computer is about the same, maybe a few yards less.

I havent checked this site in a while, so I forgot the demo was available. I downloaded the demo last night. I love it. I preordered the game, but its only five bucks. Still, I am going to get it asap. Probably with birthday money.

Played both games last night. On Varsity. Won 27-0 with Oregon, and 21-0 with Florida State. I love the flow of the game, and cant wait to see Denard Robinson with his dreads!

The only bummer is, last year at this time I was unemployed, so I really got to jump into this game. Wont be like that this year, but I will still find time to enjoy it.

Drops, drops, drops...

this was addressed with the release day patch.

I finally bought a 360 today and played both matchups.

Short & Sweet version:

First, the game look amazing... grass, lighting, uniforms - its unreal.

Second, it plays sooo much better than the previous versions. Players feel quick or heavy and the suction problem they fixed is greatly noticeable.

Given the way it plays and looks, plus the dynasty additions...I'll be buying this tomorrow night @midnight for the first time in years. I think with a few of minor additions (ball size, chain gain, uniform conf. patches) and maybe some more dynasty presentation (heisman and college gameday) NCAA 13 will be the new standard for the series. NCAA 12 though is def. the best one I've played since 06 on the xbox.

Depending on the full game, I may be able to get over 06.

Anybody have the Demo Freeze on them during game Play?
 
# 1417 cardswin2006 @ 08/24/11 10:05 AM
So I downloaded the demo last night and played two games and liked it a lot.

Like most games, there seem to be a lot of threads about stuff being "broken" and "unplayable" and the bug/glitch thread is like 100 pages long. I know that there were some issues with the Online Dynasty, but I only play offline. So with that being said, my question is this: Is the gameplay in the demo reflective of what is in the retail version? And if so, would someone who has no issues with the demo (apparently I'm easy to please ) pull their hair out from the bugs in the retail version--especially if I'm only playing offline dynasty?

Glad I'm not the only one who thought this...

LOL. Sorry about that guys. Sounds like everyone is dying for the patch, huh?

I know you probably hate me for resurrecting the thread, but any input as to my original inquiry?
