This game is absolutely badass. I FEEL like I am playing college football, FINALLY!!!! Few things I noticed and loved:

-blocking makes a huge difference
-the players "feel" better when running and catching and passing
-the new control over the ball when passing is phenomenal. I can put the pass anywhere I need to and I can lead my receivers. I feel like I have more control on this than I do with 2k5 with max passing turned on
-graphics are BEAUTIFUL and the difference in players/positions is clearly noticeable
-in the rain, the wet skin on the players looks very real. and the splashes from where they are running in the rain looks great as well
-defense seems to be playing better in my experience...I beat Mizzou 35-0 with Clemson on AA last night. I countered that no-huddle effectively.
-pre-game scenes, celebrations, half time tunnel runs, and post game are small things, but really adds a lot to the game. last year's NCAA you didn't see anything until it was time to return opening kick off. I HATED that ****. I hope for the Nat'l Championship and the Bowl Games, that the presentation is turned up to match the excitement and make the games feel unique.
-commentary is bland, but you can also tell there are no-new lines and there is commentary with things about it being the demo and look for the final on july 13th. This makes me think that they are rolling out some fresh commentary with the full final retail game.
-I enjoy the replay angles, it makes the game feel more fun and each play more impactful. Seeing my QB getting reamed is awesome in replay. They used to not have enough replays, now there are more than enough!
-showing the crowd adds a whole lot more realism to the game.

Overall - I am VERY impressed, and I can't wait to get the roster downloads and start my dynasty with Virginia Tech and shoot for the Championship.

Are you PS3? I have an XBOX 360 and the Play of the Game on mine is the very last play...

VERY minor gripe - but every game when it ends when it shows the "game changing play" it is always the most insignificant play in the entire game. They showed a QB kneel one game - and it was a fumble that caused the other team to lose.

Another very small gripe - at the end of the game when players are celebrating you can clearly see when they do an overhead shot of the stadium from the side you see the entrance that just looks out of place with fans and all like when they are coming out of the tunnel it just looks bad - reminded me of like Smackdown games when you add something and it is just sitting there not looking real or anything

well I just had the ball at my own 20 with 30 seconds left in a tie game so I ran 4 streaks and the AI called an 8 man blitz twice in a row. I had two 40 yd completions for the winning td. The AI defensive playcalling is a little ridiculous in that regard.

It's been stated in this thread that due to demo limitations the play of the game will always be the final play. The retail game has no such limitation.
