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

Try this. Any difficulty. Any deep bomb route. Pump fake away from the WR going deep then throw to the deep one. If you have time it's a completion almost every time. I love 95% of the demo but I was really sad when I figured out that you could go deep every play. I was doing it with Texas FYI. That will need tuning.

I had 5 sacks in the game that was only 8 minutes long total. That is crazy. Either it will be tuned down by retail or it will be toned down via sliders. I would bet this game will be tuned pretty well out of the box (like NCAA 11 was). As far as a demo...it is ok nothing great. I think the most important thing for me was to feel and see the new tackling system and elimination of warping and suction. Mission accomplished. The game is going to be great come 7/12

I really wish more people played on heisman. Based on the demo I really think it is the way to go this year.

Going Heisman is only the way to go if you're a good enough player. There are a lot of different skill levels out there. Heisman mode would destroy the experience for us marginal players. Same thing with sliders - no perfect set. That's a pet peeve for another time ...

I can deal with most of the game being the same, but I was VERY disappointed that CPU qb's still dont run......FSU's QB had a WIDE open field on a 3rd and 9, yet he stood there for a sec, then fired a 40yd hail mary into coverage.


I hope this is fixed the final version.

I normally play on AA but with slider adjustments to make it even more challenging. Last years game I played with Silent Natures's sliders and they were awesome as a great base that I tweaked here and there to my liking.

I have played on Heisman and I just feel the cpu is just too tough and it is just does not feel right for me. I love a challenge though and Custom All American is my sweet spot.

Back to impressions. I must say again how pleased I am with the HDR lighting and the gorgeous back ground skylines I am seeing. Really jaw dropping and this is just a compressed demo.

7/12 can't get here soon enough.

Oh yeah!! I just blew out Texas on Heisman 42-7. What the F? PA worked for two long TD passes.

Either way, I'm reading a lot about people saying the 360 looks far more incredible then the PS3 version. Can you, who have an Xbox please describe. I don't have a 360. Thanks

- Running animations needs work!!

- Presentation needs work... commentary is out dated. Come on EA get your stuff together. No one cares about Road to glory. Better Dynasty and Team Builder. Work on that. The hell with the rest.

- Tackling engine is progress, but I'm tired of seeing my guys bounce off when trying to make a tackle.

I have more, but I got to go.

ok so i played acouple of games on xbox and this is what i have to say, play is to ez, there def is dumb on passing and running plays...

Tackles have improved, dreadlocks looked good... um i think thats it...

Graphics look like last yrs graphics.. nothing really changed there

Wont be buying this but come on... its just an upgrade of last yrs game... its time for them to just put out upgrades on xbox for 1000 gamer pts... Not worth 59.99... will be buying madden 12, just hope its a better upgrade than this game!
