I hate it but we always look for negatives so I'll try and give both sides.

-I like that your RB explodes after receiving the handoff without having to use speed burst. Running has come a long way. It's no longer a pass happy game.
-The screen options and reading of screens have come a long way. It's made this game a lot more realistic. It does have it's major faults though.
-I love the leading receivers and throwing low, etc. It's a better feel than before.
-Cuts by a runner are excellent.
My likes list can go on and on, but it's very solid

My negatives are pretty mundane, but there are corrections that need to be made.
-Offensive line hard count...fix it. I should be able to hard count on 4th and short and my line should be better disciplined. Same garbage as last year
-Interception animation is sluggish at best. I do like that when you are alone and the pick is coming right to your defender, he doesn't hesitate to haul it in. But the animation is slow, almost like the defender is bobbling it for 2-3 seconds before the camera flips angles.
-Bad user defensive line pressure. I don't want last years arcade style numbers, but I should be able to move my O-lineman so that I disrupt the pocket.
-Running back button layout change on read option makes zero sense. You start with your running back being RB and your slot receive being Y even though you know what play you're running. After you snap the ball depending on the direction of the run, your running back can change to LB and your slot WR changes from Y to RB. Make the layout before the snap and stick to it.
-Trucking is only equaled by gang tackling. Running has been boosted so much I haven't been able to open field tackle without some sort of extra yardage.
-What the F is with the hurry up offense? Am I taking crazy pills or does it revert back to your last play call option and not allow you to switch the formation? You should be able to make an adjustment to a different formation.

This is an outstanding game. It feels and looks great. I just can't bare some things that make no sense.

No you weren't.

Anyways, Infinity Engine 2 has really turned the gameplay from stale and repetitive to lively, exciting, and unpredictable. Truly a much better game all around.

First game I beat Texas A&M as Oregon 10-3. Then lost the next game to Ohio State as Michigan 14-10. Didn't feel cheated by anything at all.

With those pointing out graphics, could graphics have been sacrificed a bit for the demo to make it a smaller file size?

Will they ever add a camera that's in between Standard and Zoom view, sheesh.

I doubt it. Every demo I have ever played of NCAA has always been pretty much the exact same thing that is released a month later.

I don't think the game is bad but it's just not really that much different. The slight improvements are things that I feel like should have been improved a long time ago.
