One of the best things I can say about the demo is...after not buying this game last year, I felt kinda lost at the very start. Seems like several changes have been made. Especially with how they clearly show the multitude of adjustments you can make on the fly. Very well done.

Game play wise so far, seems like if your caught in the wrong defense...your in big trouble. Which is fair. Overall, pretty pleased with what I've seen.

I really hope for team builder they get some other stadiums in the game that were used for neutral site games. I wanted to take a school like Boise State, have them play in the new Cowboys stadium, and than eventually get an invite to the Pac-10 or Big 12

I have played 8 games so far, and I have seen a bunch of new animations.

There is a speed option slider, according to EA.

That's funny. I've had penalties called every single game

Why do people keep talking about how big the demo is? Last years was 1.47 gb, this years is just 1.66. Not that much difference.

There is a speed slider that will be in the retail version.

Deff still gonna need some sliders which I don't mind configuring. Overall the game is really good. Much much improved hopefully the helmets get fixed for LSU, Florida and Missouri. The presentation is so much improved hope they continue to build on it because it still needs some stuff, but compared to what we are use to this is amazing. Locomotion is great along with the run blocking. Though defense is getting abused at least in my games. My first NCAA game in about 4 months I dropped 31 on tOSU with 2 minute quarters on Heisman though I did have a pick 6. The run game is so powerful hopefully sliders will fix this. Next year I hope they build on what they have included and focus a lot on defense.

From the demo I would rate this game a B(84-86). A day one buy for me considering I'm so NCAA starved from the poor results of 10,9,8,7. Because this game is on a different tier compared to those, and they way it looks this series might be on track again if they continue to build on this. Add more presentation elements, continue tweaking AI/gameplay, etc.

Great stuff NCAA staff thanks a lot please don't be satisfied keep building on this!
