NCAA Football 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

They have pre designed roll out passes and new animations for the QB rolling each way. I think it looks awesome and I'm glad they finally made that adjustment.

As has been mentioned, deep passes can be easily exploited I found out. If your WR is 1-1, chuck it deep and most likely you'll get a big gain, at worst a knockdown if you throw it far enough ahead. The WR beats the CB too easily I've found.
Only way it can be stopped is if the CPU has a safety to help cover it seems.
I'm playing on All-American by the way.

I have noticed the CPU also not necessarily go deep, maybe like a 15 yard pass play, but nothing bigger than that I can recall. Granted, some of these teams don't throw those passes a lot, so can be understandeable.

The poor CB coverage may be from the new agility vs. acceleration vs. speed attribute thing. Perhaps there is some tweaking to be done in that area as I've heard complaints about players being sort of backwards as to how they are actually as far as speed and acceleration goes.

Box turtles lol

I thought sprinting (with the trigger) was being eliminated in Madden and NCAA. Same goes for controlling everything in the upper body with the right stick. I guess that's just Madden, right?

Sounds like the majority digs the auto sprinting. I haven't given it a try yet, but I am truly eager for this game. It feels like it could be MLB the Show potential on being on on-par sports game.

Even in a no huddle Offense the QB doesn't just get under center and snap the ball as quickly as he does here, he will scan the field at least and bark out some orders. Please give the CPU/AI a chew clock to help him with clock management.

Not that anybody from EA will read this but I want to add.

That there is a difference between a 2 minute offense and a no hurdle offense. Two minute offense is trying to get down field as quickly as possible thus saving time.
The no-huddle offense is usually employed as part of a hurry-up offense, but it is not necessarily an attempt to snap the ball (begin the play) quicker. Rather, the lack of huddle allows the offense to threaten to snap the ball quickly, denying the defending team time to substitute players and communicate effectively between coaches and players.

Anyone who has watched college ball will see that Mizz no huddle but then turn to the sideline to receive orders, then bark out some calls at the line then snap. I was kind of hoping to see a animation of QB's turning to the sidelines to do this.

In closing give us the option to make the CPU/AI chewclock.

Thank you

First NCAA Football title I'll be bringing home since '07.

As far as 360 vs PS3; I own both systems and I admit to being a PS3 Fanboy. Having said that, the 360 version is superior to my eyes and hands. The game looks sharper and more colorful. It even "felt" different. On both consoles, Locomotion is a great visual upgrade, but with the sticks in hand - PS3 feels floaty while 360 feels like controlling a football player. Demo issue? Probably not. I see the same thing in Madden 10.

Great job, Tiburon. Now share your Progressive Lighting with Madden 11 and I'll be thrilled.

The whole locomotion thing is a big FAIL because there is no analog running. Try to get your player to jog by easing back on the left stick... You can't. Therefore, I suggest leaving auto sprint off so you can at least have 2 different speeds.
