Smooth ? is anyone else getting stutter on kick off returns ? The little stutter is bad in certain situations and is unacceptable. Am I the only one seeing it ? sorry i didn't read this whole thread.

Games smooth to me and the fields/crowd/stadiums look good too. I really have not seen anything negative as far as the graphics look, except for the faces of the players/coaches which are of course generic.

I know some others have reported seeing the CPU QB scramble, but so far in about 15-20 demo games all on All-American or Heisman, I haven't seen the CPU QB scramble once. I have seen them sidestep the rush a couple times though, but have not seen them take off and run. Hope this is better in retail version.

On Heisman the cpu QB makes a lot of wild throws that be way off the mark. I mean that ball be sailing ! To the left, to the right, too far, too short.

Zone defense is much tighter as well. Rush defense is still suspect though for the cpu. Can run up the middle a little bit too well.

Yes, hit pause and look around you'll see it.

The game looks bare graphically, and to be honest at times borders a ps2 type of a look. The 3d grass is even more terribly implemented then I thought it would be. It doesnt blend or flow at all with the old blotchy grass we have had for the past5-6 years. The tackling felt a bit better, and I did notice double hit tackles. Suction tackling was much better. The passing game seamed wack. On one play, I couldn't make throws that even I in real life could make, yet on the next play I could heave the ball beautifully 40 yards for a grab. The game just didnt make since to me, an I am a sim player who likes challenges. I dont expect to make a first down everytime, I dont want to make a first down everytimes, but there were times when I couldnt complete a 5 yard wide open pass standing still. Very weird game. I have a very hard time understanding how EA's football games get so much hype. I just don't see it. This game was extremely arcade football

you give me hope. I was afraid that i could complete every pass. You seem to have problems in the passing game which is great because so far user passing is too easy.
Did you see overthrows?

Who you playing against ? FSU QB seems to take off the most to me.

I like the demo, it feels different then NCAA11, but as some other have pointed out, it seems like the graphics and the sound took a hit. I wonder if the final version will have cleaner graphics and better sound??????
