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

*Yawn*

that pretty much explains how I feel about the demo

[ab2c4]

I am playing the ps3 version and I don't know if anybody else has complained about this but.........

Why do you have to press the buttons on the controller so hard (and sometimes multiple times) to select a play, or anything in the menus for that matter. It's not my controller either, NCAA 11 doesn't have this problem (nor any other ps3 game I have). To me this is a huge annoyance.

The graphics were dissappointing, but not terrible. They just need to be cleaned up to get rid of the blurryness and jaggies.

Gameplay was good though (I am so ticked about the button issue I don't even want to talk about gameplay anymore at this point).

I am left with a decision now. Do I take the chance and spend $60 on this game despite the button problem hoping it will be fixed? The problem is I have no idea if this will be fixed in the final, retail version. Or do I stick with NCAA 11.

The game doesnt suck but what does suck is playing the a game that feels almost identical to the previous 3-4 installments. Im gonna buy the game b/c its the only one out but if EA ever got any competition they would be in deep ****. To make matters worse the things they need to fix are very minute things. In dynasty why do they take out player editing? Why does the Oline pancake the Dline and they all fall with the same animation? Thats has been happening since like 05 lol...

Best Post in this Topic! nice to know that not everyone is Kissing EA's ***.

i havent played the demo but has anybody noticed the robo qb effect? (qb's completing 80% of their pass an their only incompletions are swats and ints) it was terrible in ncaa 11 after the tuning update that increased procedural awareness.

Nope. QBs will have bad passes that just miss sometimes

Alright. Some more thoughts.

I played another game. Oregon (me) at Texas. PS3

All American.


It is an early build. No question in my mind. The pass rush is overpowering. I had 5 sacks in the game that was only 8 minutes long total. That is crazy. Either it will be tuned down by retail or it will be toned down via sliders. I would bet this game will be tuned pretty well out of the box (like NCAA 11 was).

As far as a demo...it is ok nothing great. I think the most important thing for me was to feel and see the new tackling system and elimination of warping and suction.

Mission accomplished.


The game is going to be great come 7/12

Love it. And, having played plenty of ps3 demos in my time, it's pretty clear that the final product will be even prettier... the signs of "compression" are more than obvious.

Very excited!

I already have both games preordered and I am ready to play both Madden and NCAA but I dont understand how people that buy these 2 games every single year get so overly excited for them...I havent played NCAA since 09 and it feels the same except with a few minor tweaks...if this was 2010 then it wouldnt be such an issue but that was 3 years ago. But they have us trapped tho, unless u dont wanna enjoy any football games at all ur stuck with what you got...so really you dont have a voice to begin with unless we all boycott..reminds me of how people bitch and moan about politics but go out and vote anyway lol
