One word to describe this game, STALE!!!

-Intros will get boring after the first time seeing them.
-The game is just too familiar, I can play this game with my eyes closed, come'on guys a little innovation wont hurt!

Basically its the same old same old with some minor upgrades, lack of suction is good, the amped defense is good, the collision tackling is good too (hence, one of the commentators said something along the lines of 'what a collision!' after one of the collision tackles, I thought that was funny and lame), but not enough to make this game exciting or fresh.
I played just two games and I don't even feel like playing it anymore, because its just too familiar, feels like Ive been playing the same exact game for years.

Great game!

Beat Bama 16-7, but my offense struggled.

I scored via:

Pick Six
(7-0)
Bama Hail Mary intercepted followed by a FG
(10-0)
Great Kick Return followed by a FG
(13-0)
Bama TD
(13-7)
Failed Bama Onside Kick followed by a FG
(16-7)

Crowd looks great, Defense is beter, 3D Grass is awesome, Great Game!

Game feels like NCAA 11 with a tuner set. Isn't necessarily a bad thing. Some things are improved but a lot of the issues we see year to year are still there.

-downfield blocking on runs is better.
-punt return blocking is better.
-QB is better about taking off. I had a play against oregeon though where i got pancaked, got up did a spin move and still managed to sack him. He did take off on one play but had a few others where he just sat there.
-3d grass isn't noticeable, no idea if it's even in the demo.
-already skipping past the pregame cutscenes.
-tackle button doesn't really seem important.

Did they take out the offensive team looking to the sideline for the playcall animation? If not how do you trigger it?

Played the NCAA 11 demo yesterday, put up 35 with ease, the same amount when the 11 demo FIRST came out. This, is a challenge, and man defense can be beat with good route combination. Just running 4 verts and hoping that a WR beats a DB will result in some bad things for you.

That's about 75% of what I need to hear/see.

I wont be able to get on until later though

Good, then we won't see you making another worthless post on this forum anymore either right? Thank you.

I like NCAA but I do have some problems with the demo. I was playing on AA.

-Bad Decisions by QBs. I played against Oregon and got 7 sacks many of those could have been prevented if the QB ran out of the pocket. I played against FSU and got 4 ints from bad passes thrown by the QB to well covered WRs.

Aggressive DBs. I scored on at least 3 deep balls because of DBs that were more worried about getting the int than knocking the ball down or making a tackle. I like that they react to the ball, but it needs to be tuned down some.

-Pregame Intro Commentary. I like that they put the traditions in the game, but they really need to have some commentary going on during it. To me its just boring watching those with the game pretty much quiet.

-Tackling Animations. The new tackling and collision system is great, but there are still legacy issues with awkward looking tackles.

-Stiff Arm. They really need to work on the stiff arm It should be much more effective and replace the spin move as the most effective ball carrier move.
