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

[The JareBear]

Ok Ya'll.

Finally got to play the demo for PS3. Just logged my first two games, playing both sides of the Texas - Oregon matchup.

I started on Heisman and left it on there for both games. I think this is the way to go for the demo. Based on what I watched on the 360 version and what I read on here AA is too easy.

First Game, Me (Oregon) vs Texas

14-17

I was on their 2 yard line and fumbled the ball going in with LMJ on a big hit, cost me the game. Not much defense in this game, any zone d I tried got lit up. I ran cover 2 zone 4 times and 3 of those times they had deep routes called and burned me. As Skillz has pointed out, blitzing is pretty money in the demo.

But, offenses on both sides of the ball played well. Running the shotgun attack was fun, I had some big gainers with LMJ on heisman, it was great. Felt kinda fresh, pretty fluid.

SEcond game, still on Heisman, Me Texas vs Oregon

I lost 10-7 thanks to 3 picks by Gilbert, man he is terrible in this game.

This was a really fun game, there was some defensive stops and good defensive pressure by both d-lines. The Oregon CPU offense was GREAT. LMJ had 91 yards on 9 carries and the Oregon CPU players ran the speed option twice, both for positive gains.

As texas, I was able to throw some thrd and short stops, as well as keeping them out of the endzone on 3 straight goal line plays, so it was nice to see it work both ways, they had a couple big runs but also were held. I scored a TD on a really nice diving catch by the CPU on a quick out route from the slot against zone. IT was a bad throw into coverage the CPU controlled WR just made a play for me. On the next drive though, I had a ball hit my WR right in the helmet, he didnt even try to catch it, guess im gonna have to user it more often.

IF you guys want to see the spread offense ran, play on Heisman, its way better. Both games were great, I dont think I am even gonna try AA in the demo, heisman is where its at.

In both games the CPU qb didnt scramble once, in the first game when I was oregon there were probably 3 instances where gilbert had moved out of the pocket a bit and had just daylight in front of him and just stood there. disappointing.

My Oregon CB was the player of the game with the following stats:

2 tackles for a loss
2 sacks
1 forced fumble
2 Interceptions

He wreaked havoc on Texas and I beat Texas 35 to 0. 3 passing TDs. 1 was 79 yards, 1 53 yards, 1 60 yards. James had a 89 yard TD run up the middle too.

It was funny seeing the Texas QB get yelled at by the coach.

Being honest, I think the 360 version looks noticably better. Maybes its my TV but the 360 version, on HDMI, on the same TV, was crisper, smoother, and the grass showed up in most of the replays. In the 2 games I played so far on PS3 most replays didnt have the 3d grass or it looked warped

Yeah I noticed that a lot with Gilbert. He would avoid the rush but stop short of actually crossing the LOS and just stand there.

That needs to be fixed.

Yeah please share your thoughts.

I am really picky about this stuff, almost paranoid about it, so maybe I am looking for problems where they dont exist. IT just doesnt look as clean to me
