After a few more games of the demo last night, the defensive aspect of the game grows on me more and more. My biggest gripe with defense in the past on the NCAA series was the fact that most zone blitzes were highly ineffective. I now see that this was mainly due to the way EA designed zone coverage for years. Now that this has been redone for the better, zone blitzes work very well. I don't mean they work well for instant sacks, they work well in that the there's not that wide open receiver vulnerability and the QB is usually forced to throw it away due to the pressure. In the past, the cpu would pick you apart.

I'm finding myself just wanting to play defense on the demo now.

everything looks like garbage when you capture it off screen. the issues i have with the ps3 version are the frame rate of replays, the initial slowdown of game track replays, and the fact that grass is only 3d during certain cutscene-like replays.

Have the developers chimed in about the lack of QB scrambling?

I have seen the AI QB scramble a number of times. Sometime I get them quick and then sometimes they break off nice runs. I remember thinking to myself that wow they finally run. So if others aren't seeing it I'm not sure whats up.

I've definitely seen this, especially against Florida State. The tuck and run looks pretty natural too, I've been impressed with this

I finally played the demo on PS3. Marched down field for a TD then quit and DELETE. Game felt so dated to me, just old and super duper boring. We need another developer to make a football game, having EA do all football games makes all the games feel the same.

I can tell that this game will not be worth $60, its a rip off and I'm offended that they think I'm this desperate for a new football game. EA should be ashamed of themselves for this.

My opinion. Demo - 4/10

I can give no further points since the all over the place gameplay would ruin it anyway.
