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

All I can say is why don't I have any time to pick a defensive play? This was the case last year as well. Can this not be remedied? Particularly with more plays I want to look at least through a couple of sets before settling. This is ********.

No there isn't. The angle from which you play the game would make it impossible to differentiate thousands of around 1 inch blades of grass from each other.

They might as well be walking on concrete, the perception from that angle makes it look almost completely flat, and blended in.

I wish this game had a slider similar to the shows regarding game speed. Not like actual game speed like the one we have but like how in the show you can have the pitcher take his time in between pitches or have him work really fast. In NCAA this could be having the cpu qb take his time and run the play-clock down if it is on slow.

Some thing I noticed:

-Defensive tackles look amazing
(I called a CB BLitz from both sides, Left CB runs in, QB runs to the right, where he is met by the right side CB. Guys can get tackled mid spin move. Tackle animations vary a lot)

-Special Teams is better
(Almost blocked a kick. Better returning. I saw a muffed punt, which didn;t exist in 12)

-Traditions = Awesome

-Commentary Sounds Better
(A couple new lines, I think. I like the "So how does ____ run their offense?" line.)

I really don't get all the hate. This feels far better than 11

I think he is basically saying there is an easier way to get grass to look like "real grass" other than the spotted grass we have now, which is completely true if that is what he is saying. The grass in that picture looks nothing like the spotted grass in the game.

Thank you. The 3D grass crying should now be over. I said the same thing earlier.

Carry on...

I really like the demo and the new tackling is much smoother than years past.
I played both games, once as FSU lost 17-0 on Heisman and lost 14-0 as Texas.

The Cpu can run on me so I hope that the tuner sets don't kill this and maybe make it tougher. I also like the lighting but the crowd noise is not very loud!!

But overall I am very happy and can't wait till July 12!! Go Noles!!

The read is still off of the DE. If he comes charging give it. If he sits run it. Although the play really seems to work either way. Going to experiment with it more.
