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

[Hiro1]

Ive seen a couple fumbles in 3 games. 1 striped in 1 game. My current game I laid a big hit on the PR and he coughed it up, the next fumble came as I led my WR across the middle. I'm pretty sure he got up cussing.

My Ps3 version doesn't look bad @ all.

How do you down the ball to stop the clock?

Then on the next drive I got the ball back by an INT and Darron Thomas broke a read option 22 yards to the house. Both looked and felt great. Now my only gripes with the demo (which I am positive most are going to be fixed with the retail version) are: 1. I am seeing what everyone is talking about with the cpu qb (I really only see it with texas' qb) is him a. not scrambling and b. throwing the ball out of bounds into the 6th row a few times a game. I am sure those 2 things are fixed in the final game. 2. In the game I was talking about above, the texas qb threw deep a good 8 or 9 out of 15 passes. IDK whats up with that but its only 1 game so I am not saying its a problem yet. 3. Kick/Punt Returns. The coverage teams all stay in the middle of the field and on punt returns your blockers wait like 2 yards infront of you for you to catch the ball to start blocking, which in turn gives me no room/time to run. Every return is the same. They need to stay in their lanes in order to get better and more varied returns. 4. Player Movement. Sometimes when I change direction with the left stick the player kind of just floats over into position. Hard to explain but its like the runner has his knees slightly bent and instead of cutting, he just stays in that "knees bent" position and "shifts" to his new spot. Weird looking. 5. Last but not least..THE GRASS! Call me a nitpicker, I dont care, it looks bad. Go look at Backbreakers grass and that is what a field should look like. No black spots everywhere just green grass. Turf fields are different they are supposed to have black in them because of the rubber pellots but I believe Madden does a better job at this than NCAA (for turf). It has become a distraction for me to look at the grass which is a shame. THAT IS ALL!

Grass looks great during cutaways and during the pregame. It does not look so great during game play.

Oh a glitch I just remembered. Playing as Oregon vs. Texas. Texas completes a pass but fumbles. I recover and call an offensive play. The refs review the play and overturn the fumble to Texas has the ball back. They go straight into a hurry up out of the review and my offense was on the field playing defense. The Oregon C was playing FS for me. Turns out my LT, playing the nickel position I believe, knocked down a pass to end the game.

I would like to reiterate that the the issue people are having shouldnt be that the game looks bad on PS3. It doesnt. It looks fine.

The issue is it looks noticably better on the 360, enough so to where I wish my roommate didnt have a 360 so I never would have seen it because now its all I notice

Throwing for 400 yard on heisman is nuts, lol, yeah passing can be easy at times but I find on heisman its still pretty tough in most matchups
