As someone else said, sliders cant fix online play and a number of us play online. My impressions so far are a good looking game, but a game that plays well enough but needs a lot of work. Most of this work I think has been done already, as this build is old.

EA hasn't learned from FIFA' success with regards to a new engine. Guess we will have to wait to next gen X2.

demo normally gets pulled out in late march or early april. so there will be alot of changes. thats why they are using tuners for demo so the demo might seem closer to the real game than last years.

What's worse is that the defense is still just as bad as it was on NCAA 11 after the tuner sets. You can move the ball up and down the field all day (on Heisman) without much effort. Without any realistic challenge. Without having to think, or develop a decent strategy. In my first game I went 11-15 for 185 yards, passing. Put this game on 5 minute qtrs, and I don't think anyone would have a problem throwing for 3-400 yards every game. The flats are still easy to abuse. DBs don't react well. Zone defense is awful. Overall, you can fit the ball into places and complete catches that you should never make. Trench play is still very unrealistic and feels stagnant. Offensive line/D-line interaction feels and looks gamey. There's no realistic bull-rush, or block shedding. Sorry to say but APF 2k8 to this day and still more realistic in this regard. EA has had how long now? Run blocking still needs a lot of work. Block logic isn't great, blockers are often times slow to react. Again, the overall realistic feeling to the run game and reading the field just has a gamey feel to it. QB play, also still unrealistic. There's no momentum, no drop backs, etc. For this game to be a sim, it needs a lot of work. I personally don't understand why they focused their attention elsewhere instead of fixing the gameplay.

Not only are we a fan of the same basketball team but my thought per NCAA 12 is exactly the same. I will keep it short. This is the same game as NCAA 11 Few changes, but basically the same game. Gents, it has come to the day EA is delivering us the same game!!

Played a full game as Texas against Oregon on AA. Game was very easy. Passing was automatic for me and stopping the run was a joke. Oregon never gained a positive yard when running, even on scrambles. They ran an option on the 3 that turned into an easy safety for me. Out of the 5 or so option plays, not once did I see the QB pitch the ball to the RB.

Played a half as Bama against FSU and quit. I was able to gain 5+ yards every run. I did like how inconsistent their QB was. Even with my feet planted he would miss some throws.

The good is tackling, graphics, and zone. The bad is how easy it is on offense. The terrible is the CPU's running ability.
