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

[jeremym480]

Real small sample size playing with Oregon (on AA) , I had success running the triple option & speed option. Also, was able to get a big gain from their QB running a Jet Power out of their "Wild Cat" formation. I even gained three yards on a draw

I had some other stuff to say but, I forget what it is now. Anyway, I'm pretty much done with the demo now as I'm sold on the improvements. Back to NCAA 11 for the next two weeks

edit: I remember something I was going to say... The Texas QB sailed the ball over his intended receivers head on multiple occasions. He also tossed on out of bounds while he was getting pressured. I saw that a couple of time in NCAA but, would love to see it more in 12.

I agree.. I was pretty much doing what I wanted to against the CPU on heisman besides the occasional pancake blocks the CPU planted my whole Dline with.. I can just imagine how bad All-American is.. I'm definitely going to have to get in the lab with the sliders for NCAA this year..

Either way, I'm reading a lot about people saying the 360 looks far more incredible then the PS3 version. Can you, who have an Xbox please describe. I don't have a 360. Thanks - Running animations needs work!! - Presentation needs work... commentary is out dated. Come on EA get your stuff together. No one cares about Road to glory. Better Dynasty and Team Builder. Work on that. The hell with the rest. - Tackling engine is progress, but I'm tired of seeing my guys bounce off when trying to make a tackle. I have more, but I got to go.

The XBOX version is brighter, clearer and softer. It is a huge difference. So much so that with NCAA and Madden being the only games I play I will 100% be switching to XBOX if the retail versions are anywhere near this far off. I had the PS3 and XBOX version running side by side on split screen both hooked up with $4 HDMI cables bought off EBAY and obviously on the exact same TV and the difference actually made me mad cuz I am in a sweet OD on PS3 and I see no way I will be able to settle for the much worse graphics of PS3. As Jared said earlier if you never see the 360 vs the PS3 you probably won't care but IMO if you do you will be mad too.

Same game as last year, I'm not pissed since last year was a big step up from the usual. Fixing streaks via the TE is worth some $ in itself.

Kind of sucks that it costs $60 TBH, doesn't deserve it, but I have a OD I have been in as I have no choice.

You do have a couple of choices actually but, it seems like you already made your decision. Enjoy the game

In the middle of my second game of the demo. Very disappointed in some of the poor CPU logic that was never addressed from last year.

* Less than a minute to go, third-and-14 for Oregon, I'm in a pass-prevent defense playing as Texas, I'm up by 7, so the CPU tries to get cute and calls a draw play. Dumb!

* A disappointing glitch from last year remains in the game. I return a kickoff. There's clipping on my team on the kick. The CPU declines it.

Does EA even realize some of the glitches in its own games? I'm guessing the excessive CPU fake punts near midfield are still in the game, as well.

More bad poor CPU logic ... CPU has second and 18 after a sack, 1:16 left ... spikes the ball to stop the clock and make it third and 18.

On the flip side I just faced Oregon and D Thomas scrambled a few times for good gains. Longest was 20 yards.

I must suck
