Did they tune the demo without announcing it?

I swear I am starting to struggle on AA when I wouldnt before. The last couple games I actually played straight felt great.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing you for doing this. You can play the game however you want. I just don't get why people go out of their way to find flaws.

To be fair, what he did wasn't really going out of his way, it was just doing what worked best. In this case calling the same play seemed to work best.

He explained why he punted so I do not feel the need to repeat it.

Love the demo.. But just deleted it from 360. I'm ready for retail.
Just like the glitch threads I'm done with this thread.
I want to play some on the PS3 and then will delete it from there.

Can't wait to get a real OD started!!!

It seems like something changed. I was winning pretty easily on Varsity before and I played as Alabama after seeing this. I won 9-6 in OT after regulation ended 3-3. I also some more penalties than before.

Well, I honestly didn't think from the prerelease hype that gameplay would be much different than last year. The tackling system is better but at times it means defenders who are right beside a ballcarrier will just ignore the fact he's there and let him run on by. The zone defense is better as well. Watching defenders slide off guys leaving there zone and picking up the next guy through is nice. The one thing that bugs me is I always seem to have one DB screw up in either man or zone on third down thus giving up lots of third and seven plus plays. That disappointing.

I see it as NCAA 11.2 and this will pass this year. It seems many of you are having fun and that's great. I wouldn't want to dissuade anyone from getting the game. I just can't enjoy another year of uneven gameplay and psychic AI DBs who make cuts before my WRs and having the CPU sit back and pick apart my defense with no pressure to speak of.

I did like seeing the Oregon QB take of and weave his way through the defense for a score. The CPU is much smarter in the open field this year.

After playing the NCAA 11 demo and then this demo again, it is so easy to see the differences in the game, and in a very good way.

So I still can't share the demo for whatever reason. It gives me The EA servers aren't available line. Is this isolated or is anyone else having the same problem?
