NCAA Football 11 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Someone mentioned the demo looking dark. I haven't noticed, but complained about that last year and everything was appropriately bright on the release version.

As for the guy with the black and white demo, that happened to me with the real game a few years ago. The TV was dying and it first showed on the game. Hope that's not the case here.

Delighted they fixed the DE problem, that is a real drag on the demo.

Think EA clearly was listening this time out. Dumb things remain, but we got a lot. Overdue, yes. Welcome, most certainly.

This demo is sick. Can't wait for it to come out.

Formation Subs are definitely one of the best things to come back to this game. On the old gen consoles, it was awesome. Imagine the things you can do with LSU and Russell Shepard, putting him at WR, Tailback, Wildcat, the possibilities are endless!!!

I must have a different version of the demo because honestly this demo is the worst looking rendition I have seen yet in the next gen? The lighting effect is waaaay overdone. Ohio States Reds looked washed out and the grey has a tint of red. When I play the OSU v Miami game everything looks just off? It appears to be one of the overdone 6pm games from last year where everything has an orange/red hue to it. Oh and the area by the flag pole in the closed end of the Shoe looks like the ground is covered in really bright snow? Is this going to happen for all partly cloudy games?

I then played the FSU v. UF matchup and selected FSU with the standard gold helmets and once the game starts they seem to be a dark olive, grey-gold color from the pre-play camera? wTF? even the cut scene replays the gold helmets are waaay tooo dark. I know the setting is "overcast" but I have seen many overcast day games and they have never looked like this before. Please tell me this demo is not like the retail version when it comes to visual because this looks terrible for these partly cloudy, overcast games.

I have a nice TV and all my other games look great so it is not my set.

If these visual are in the retail version , how does this happen? How do you go to play a game and not see that it doesn't look right? To me it is very obvious right off the bat, EA cannot say that this looks like a real football game....this lighting effect is not good.

I hope I am going crazy because otherwise it looks bad.

Can anyone please select the FSU gold helmets, start a game and tell me that it doesn't look odd?

Ok...I wasn't going to go through 212 pages to find it so I am glad you could confirm for me ...thanks buddy.

The Demo is very good in my opinion. However one of the few things that bothers me is on punt returns the camera flip is odd and it pauses for a second sidways. Because of this i am never able to get more than 2-3 yard a return.

[Hova57]

anyone playing wit fsu in the demo owes to yourself to play with Chris Thompson, he is redic, i had a 25 yard run with him just beautiful and a kickoff return with him nuts. he is great on this game demo.

Wow...I just tried something I hate doing but I wanted to see how OSU was. After beating every team on Heisman and rarely turning the ball over and never allowing more than 14 points I decided to try The Nuts and man am I getting destroyed.

Pryor feels like a track athlete at QB. Fast but absolutely no talent throwing the ball with three picks and the defense is getting torched by Miami with two huge touchdown plays. So sad losing 24 - 6 at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Guess I know why I haven't touched them now, lol.

EDIT: Ok, ok. Not as bad really. That was just one of those everything that can go wrong will heisman games. Ended up winning 22 - 7 in my next game and I messed around a bit.
