Double safety, CB, NB, Rlb, Llb, zone blitz....... I can see people online playing with a fast defense wreaking havoc on people who like to roll out with the QB. You blitz anybody and they getting there to the QB fast. Texas secondary is bad though. They must have had a lot of people graduate or something. And their QB is even worse. When he misses throws, he misses by a wide margin. Loved seeing him getting yelled at though. Halftime he threw 4 INTs and sacked 4 times. Wish they benched players performing badly.

Yah I don't think it will be with every team but if you have speed definetely. I didn't get but one sack blitzing with oregon, but with alabama i had 8. Ore was on AA Alabama was on Heisman.

Tex db's did lose a lot. Have one good safety back but they lost top three cb's to gradutation and leaving early.

They move a lot more in the pocket, a whole lot of side to side bouncing around movement. However far as them taking off though seems to be based on their style I guess.

FSU QB scrambled often.

Oregon QB only twice.

Texas QB none.

Alabama QB a few times.

At times they still do that run and stop at the LOS for no reason and launch it into triple coverage even though there isn't anybody standing in front of them.

When the QB gets hit on the throw, the ball goes into the ground now. Sometimes QB fumbles are called incomplete passes.

the CB blitz worked everytime for FSU, and the QB is amazingly to fast, i think it is because of the quick gameplay though, but then again i was Oregon and James was getting caught by DE and DT on long runs.

Cons: -I played on All American, and felt that the game was a tad bit easy. Maybe it was because of the shortened quatars, but the Alabama Offense really did not put up anything. Overall, I am very happy! I am excited to see what this game brings and feel like this could be a good year for the NCAA fans!

Just my opinion but I think the demo makes it hard to evaluate offenses for playing with or against running teams. With 2 minute quarters it is just basically a matter of chance you get enough time in one half to run the ball enough to put up any kind of stats. Even with the hurry up unless you are getting a 1st down each time or out of bounds not enough time in the half to really get a feel for the offenses. Especially with the CPU.

Enjoyed the game so far. Been running as Orgeon since Louisville also uses a spread. The running game was better out of the spread than it has been.

I'm going to struggle a bit against the new zone defense, I've thrown a pick or come close to throwing one in every game so far. Overall it was a nice improvement along with my QB overthrowing his WR sometimes. Made it feel realistic. Only thing I didn't like was on one pass it regressed back to Madden 09 and the "inaccurate" pass was thrown DIRECTLY to a defender who was miles away from the play, luckily he didn't intercept it.

The QBs probably do get away too much, but I don't think they got away enough at times last year, so a happy balance needs to be found.

The WRs diving for balls was nice, but I wish they'd fight for them more.

Comeback routes are still easy to pick off on defense, and too easy to throw INTs into on offense. It seems like no matter what the defender always has the first step. Even if he missed the WRs break. May be I'm throwing it wrong?

The QBs are definitely less accurate on the run.

The CPU threw the ball away, which was nice, but it should have been intentional grounding on a few occasions.

Oh, talk about sacking the QB! Blocking is a little shoddy right now, by psychic computer AI is gone. They'll take a sack! It's awesome.

Also, the computer doesn't always seem to know what play you're calling, which is nice. You can spread it wide and run.

My biggest complaint with the demo was actually 2 minute quarters + accelerated clock. Really annoying trying to gauge the running game. I don't think 5min quarters are seriously too much to ask.

Mine was opposite against ALABAMA. The offense destroyed me with the run then pass, could never guess the right play, and their defense was terrible, put up good amount of points against them on the ground

I just remembered a couple other things I experienced while playing on my lunch. First play on defense I had good pressure on Tex QB but was late getting there. He got the pass off. And I was flagged for Roughing the passer. I was excited as I think penalties need some work and don't remember any roughing the passers in 11 even with it set to 100. Speaking of penalties I have had my opening kickoff be called back for holding on both games I played.

No need to have 200 comments about how "below you" playing on default Varsity or All-American is.

i agree most people who dis Varsity level are usually people who never even loaded up a game with sliders on varsity level...they just go off of absumption that the game can only be effective on the highest level

It's one of the reasons why i don't plan on posting any sliders in Madden or NCAA 12 because you always get a bunch macho clowns coming into the slider thread talking down on you as if a lower level makes you any less of a true SIM fan.
