LOL, PS3, PSP and 360. Although I won't buy them all at once, I'll buy 360 first, then pick up the other two used later on probably.

Yeah I'm sure it will as well.

That is the good news about the game that it is a month or so old and we still have a month left before release.

I just made a filthy diving catch with Demetrius Byrd in the endzone. I beat press coverage and ran a skinny post. Just as Coleman tries to break up the pass, I manually dive in the back of the endzone and get a foot down. I jumped out of my seat and yelled "Six b******"! I got so excited, I botched the celebrate with the mascot activity. Oh well, the Tiger still got his crip walk on. Ha!

The more I play this demo, the more I love this game!

The fun of NCAA is back for me baby! And I'm 2-6 vs. the CPU and having a blast. LOL. It's gonna be a late night for this guy tonight.

Well this year, hats off to EA Sports. This game looks stunning on the PS3. Ok, so the fans still look pretty pitiful, but the player models, the grass, the animations, etc. are smooth as silk. This game is such leaps and bounds better looking than last year's game on the PS3. Most importantly, responsiveness feels tight. The running game is fun, and the passing game is equally enjoyable. The way in which the icons appears is just so smoooth looking. It's a shame there are no refs on the field. Presentation wise, the commentary seems a little better. I noticed a few new lines, but not many. There's definitely more stat overlays which gives the game a more authentic feel. There's new cheerleader and celebration animations that look and are timed rather well during the course of the game. I saw one weird animation. I was on D with the OSU, and LSU had the ball at my five yard line. The QB stepped back and whizzed a perfect pass to the receiver for a touchdown. It happened so fast, I was happy to see a replay. Well, the QB never went through the throwing animation. It It just zoomed out of his hands. Strange. Hopefully just a bug they have fixed. I lost in OT when LSU intercepted a pass and took it for a TD. After the play, I got a choice between three plays that I had to guess which play LSU ran. I was wrong, and they highlighted the play that was successful. Very cool! On an extra point to send the game to OT, the vibration shook on the controller, and I got a lower view to kick the field goal. In addition, the meter was covered in ice. Kinda different, kinda cool. Overall, it appears a lot of work was put in to refining the game. I've read that Madden looks even better, and if that's the case then I can't wait to see it.

My thoughts exactly. 4 games and 0 fumbles with a few ints was enought for me. CPU passed deep a few times and seen a few overthrows as well. Pass rush actually seemed ok for both sides. Presentation and environment needs to be the focus for next years game and we will be set. Great job EA. Did not see me saying that this year.

I don't allow myself to control corners, for that reason alone. I don't even switch players in human/cpu games, I let the cpu do all the work for me, to prevent me from getting so many turnovers, which still doesn't help. I control one player on defense, all game long (DT). The only time I'll control a corner, is to swat the ball down, to once again, try preventing my team from getting picks.

My nephew and I have tried everything in the book with last years games, and nothing worked. I upped the CPU accuracy to 100, lowered all our defense sliders to 0. It's so bad, that we went from trying to win our games, to trying to lose them - and it doesn't work.

If only I can get the results some of you have been, I'd still be hyped about the game. I won't let a let a demo bring me too far down, though.

Oh, that will be the first game I play. No wait, maybe UF vs. UGA. I want revenge on dem Dawgs!

I cannot wait to have the full game with rosters.

I like the improvements but I think I'm going to have wait until full release. I'm not sold..
