Has anyone seen receivers look to the sideline and if so how? I saw on the videos mizzo receivers were looking to the sideline at the coach during hurry up but on the demo they do not do that?

I never saw anyone looking to the sideline but i wasn't really looking for it either..

LOL

That's probably one of their marketing gimmicks.....

They do they type of stuff every year in their games. You'll see something on the commercial of video and it never happens in the actual game.

One of the reasons why i don't get too excited over their NBA basketball series anymore...Too much hype and fluff

I ran in a spread hurry up offense and was a receiver so I was just seeing if anyone has seen it. Kinda chapping me that they even talked about it but its nowhere to be found?

The moves are on the right stick, ive only tried spinning and juking the upper body stuff is a little more difficult because I always end up juking instead of leaning.... But on my first play I ran a kick back to the house on heisman with out juking just made one good cut and took it the house!!!! That was my only td and i was very happy about that.

Only played two games so far, so haven't had time to really dissect, but here is my short list of +/-

+ Locomotion
+ Slower game speed
+ Passing (not every pass is a bullet like NCAA 10)
+ Graphics (love player models and new lighting makes a world of difference)
+ Presentation (Very much improved with team entrances, pre-game, fan cut scenes, etc.)

- Kicking (still hate the kick meter, too easy-no suspense, would rather have old meter)
- Replay Camera Angle (all replays are too close - very bad design choice, should have at least mix up with different angles long/close-ups)
- Replay Stutter (replays are jittery on PS3, hopefully it's just demo)

The demo has me looking forward to the retail version. I have not like one version of NCAA this gen, so I'm hoping this will be the year that I can shut down NCAA 06 on my PS2 for good.

Couldn't have said it better myself buddy. I'm still playing NCAA 05' on the original xbox. Wondering when the day will come when EA will take a note from NFL2k5 on how players actually dig their cleats into the ground to pivot and run instead of sliding/skating. We're going on six years of next-gen football. Let's go EA! Step your game up!

If the cpu can play like that on the retail version I will be the happiest person on earth. The cpu scored on a pick 6 early in the game for a 7-0 lead. I responded with a field goal right before the half and went in 7-3. I then scored on a 7 yard td pass with 1:03 left to take the lead. The cpu moved the ball well all day and actually had more yards then me, they just couldn't convert with a missed field goal and int. I'm about to go play Fsu(me) vs Florida. I will report back after the game with more info.

Ya i like that varsity is kind of hard too. The first game as clemson i easily won 35-3, i thought oh boy i am gonna have to go to the next level and get my butt kicked and lose every game. But the next two games i played (i was Florida and Ohio State) i won both still but they were close games, 21-17, and 14-7. The final game i was Oklahoma and won 31-7, but it was 17-7 late in the fourth (until i got two pick 6's lol) so i am pretty happy that it wasnt a blow out every game.
