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

[Buckstopshere]

I'm another PS3 user that feels a bit underwhelmed by what I saw on this demo video wise but I want to see if anyone else felt as I do that the audio was downright anemic? It isn't the kind of thing, at least for me, where turning the volume up makes it all better, either.

I played two more games last night this time being Texas and FSU. I was very impressed on the running by the cpu. My first game I got shut out which I have never been shut out by the cpu even on previous demos. 14-0 by Oregon. Texas QB plays just like the real thing, bad. And the cpu ran out of the spread option on me some.

The 2nd game I lost to Alabama 21-7. I could not run on Alabama. But Richardson had to have had at least 180 yds on me. He broke 2 50+ runs. It was not gimmicky either just great blocking followed the blocks and made nice cuts. I was very impressed. Richardson also took a screen pass 40 yds on me which was very promissing b/c I was beginning to think screen passes were impossible. I really felt like I was overmatched which I have never felt that way since PS2 days. I hope it was not just a fluke and is like that on the retail version when playing great teams.

btw both were on heisman AA seemed to easy.

I felt the same way.

Is there anyway to turn the playart off when you pull it up right before you snap the ball?

That is annoying but I am sure you can in the retail copy.

The PS3 does have DTS audio which is much better then Dolby Digital

The 360 does not offer DTS

Got an INT in each game played in zone coverage *Big hits (an Alabama safety just blew up my screen pass and lit my HB up for a fumble) *Uniforms look great *Love the variety in the playbooks Cons *Not enough time to make pre-snap adjustments *Do not like the random breaks in crowd noise *Hate the commentary...too stale and repetitive *Way too many pancakes by the CPU *CPU catch-up speed/acceleration is "fake". On 2 Texas INTs, the Texas QB chased me down and tackled my CBs. I should've had a Pick 6 on both INTs. *PS3 graphics leave a lot to be desired. Colors aren't as crisp as the 360. *Not able to generate a User-controlled pass rush All in all, I like the demo. So glad I didn't buy NCAA 11 and skipped a year. Looking forward to the retail version...and sliders!

No worries man. Speed threshold will fix that easily. The game is on 50 by default so its going to be some bogus plays like that.

We can't do anything in this demo in terms of adjusting settings past some control options.
