Grass is terrible, I hate it. It doesn't look like grass but like a million legos stuck together to simulate grass.

Nothing more then a lot of things got fixed from this build and the retail version. He already has a blog written about what was changed, don't know when he will post it on EA website yet.

They expect to use tuners more this year and that is why they added tuners for the demo. We will be used as a mass beta test basically. That way they will know what will be in the 1st day patch.

They will also use the on demand feature a lot more this year. EA game changers will be uploading videos and audio tips on there.

hmmm what else........Ben been with EA since 2001, he started on the Madden PC games. Started working with the NCAA team since NCAA 05.

i can't really make a judgement because i prefer playing with the game speed slider on "very slow". everything was too fast for me. there was a few instances where an o-line men or running back slid five yards to make a block on a wide open rusher. BOOOO. the so called "3D grass" is only visible on replays. i could go on about the cons but nobody is going to read this as it has probably been said already.

Really enjoyed the game, and Heisman difficulty is good fun. Can't wait for that and some slider changes, because it should be realistic gameplay.

The only con i have, is like someone said (i think 4 posts above) about no momentum. Players, when you change their direction, don't cut, they more like......glide? Slide? I'm not sure the word. Its almost a 180 degrees turn with planting your feet.

Besides that, cant wait to get my pre-ordered copy

Just played about 10 games on heisman. My last game went to OT which suprised me on the demo. I got it on PS3. I played every NCAA and Madden in past on 360.

-This is the ugliest sports game I have played since PS3/360 came out. In replays the field is nice and everything seems how I would expect the game to look in real time playing. The field is such a eye sore I feel like it was imported from playstation one football game.

-LBs still super jump and pick off a ton of passes.

-Screens are still broken. For me its all or nothing on screens. Either I score a easy TD or they stop it.

-Way to easy to run for me and cpu. The good is the cpu is also running all over me which never happend before.

I told my self this year if stuff is broken Im not gonna spend weeks messing with sliders or waiting for tuners, patches. Noway I buy this game. As much as I like football over baseball I rather play a great game with MLB the Show. Hopefully Madden is good this year.

@theMove4 I've had no issues with screens still. I've not had any big plays, but effective and ran maybe 1 to 2 per game when it would be the right call.

After playing 2 games as each team I'd say the Bama vs. Florida State match up is the most fun. I've had all 4 games be within 3 points each. Oregon is just too much for Texas even with me as Texas

I'm glad i'm not the only one that's happened to. I hope that is fixed. 6 people pancaked and I was cut blocked right before I was goin to make the tackle.

2 quick notes: played an overtime game against FSU and they won the toss and elected to go on defense first, which NEVER happened in 11. Also, CPU won the toss to start the game and elected to defer. That was also unusual.
