NCAA Football 12 Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (360, PS3)

I can't believe EA said they worked on the crowds. They ALL look like Zombies with these crazy looking eyes. Terrible!

Team entrances...A waste of resources. Everyone will be skipping through them.

Game does seem fairly challenging. I love the tackle animations and QB makes some nice moves trying to avoid blitz or tackles.
Ball carrier looks good running through traffic.

Am I the only one who doesn't feel totally in control of their player? I just don't feel very connected to the on field actions.

No, I was getting open but I also was playing on AA instead of Heisman.

We shouldn't have to adjust the sliders. The game should play well out of the box. We should just have to get better at playing the game, not fix it so we enjoy playing it more.

Sounds broken to me. I'm downloading the video right now. I will have a video up later at TheSimStandard on youtube.com under the name TrueSimGamer. Be on the look out.

Does this game seem slightly faster to anyone else? I feel like, especially on defense, the players move a little quicker. I actually think it's more realistic and like it.

How is returning punts in the demo? Do the blockers actually set up their blocks now? Can you actually return punts for decent yardage without having to cheese the computer and always use punt block?

I played almost a whole game. Enjoyed it, but the biggest problem is the game locked up between the 3/4th quarter. Well not locked up, the screen wipe for the highlight package stayed stuck on the screen, but the audio kept going and I could still hit buttons even though I coudn't see the play on the field. It was bizarre. Anyone else get this?

Other than that the thing that needs to be gone is the bail out incompletions. Every time there's about to be a sack the qb gets hit and the ball goes forwared 2 yards. Been going on in EA football for years.

They are noticeably better as well as the kick return game. I hated last year's return game and there is a good improvement in NCAA 12. One step closer to getting special teams in order.

Now they need to work on punt and kick blocks.

I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of people who feel that it does play good out of the box and won't tweak the sliders. But everybody has their own version of ideal gameplay.
