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

[Philstat]

Played 360 and PS3 simultaneosuly for comparison:

Just played both side by side hooked up via 1080p displays (HP 2509b and the Vizio 47xvtsv-tried each on both sets) and IMO they're not even close. The 360 is far and away better - I wanted to get the PS3 version this year - I normally like the sound processing on the PS3 more so (DTS) than the 360. The effects at night are completely different - at Texas statidum, you have the lights illuminating reflection off the stadium, beams of reflection eminating in the upper parts of the stadium lighting, there are multiple fans taking pictures, everything is anti-aliased MUCH BETTER - this is especially noticeble when looking at the numbers on the back of players and close-ups of the mesh on each players respective jerseys.

The PS3 has a VERY few fans taking pics, though the players and the field are more colorful on the PS3 - somewhat more cartoonish to a degree than the 360. I like the overall look on the 360 much better - you'll be happy with either version, though in the DEMO ONLY the 360 has a much more more smoother appearance and tends to have more detail sparsed throughout - the fans on the 360 look a little more higher resolution - for that matter, the 360 for whatever reason seems to be playing at a higher resoution than the PS3. The PS3 looks like an earlier build than the 360.

The differences are more noticeable when playing the night game with Oregon and Texas - daytime not as prominent. The PS3 oversaturates whites more so than the 360 in this game - played on the same input with the exact same settings. Don't fret PS3 fans, I like the gameplay of the PS3 better and the sound is much more clearer than the 360 - so it's not a one sided affair - when you consider the intangibles. If you only have a PS3 you are going to love this game.

Not the one where you hold A but the one where before the play the AI starts out for you in a direction. For example if I suspect it's a run up the middle and take my DE from the right and move him to the middle as an extra LB the AI will start him out to the right soon as the play starts unless I'm already holding another direction. Hope that can be turned off. Yikes. Playing as Alabama,is #3 really that good? I don't watch much college stuff. 119 yards on 9 carries and a 104 yard kick off return.

Yes. The player you're referring to is Trent Richardson. 1st rd NFL draft pick material

tired of trent richardson breaking 60-80 yard runs on me every game, granted it is on heisman, even though i'm in a 4-4 or 46 defense. hopefully it is better in the full game. also i like to play as a DL and i dont quite get why he just falls to the ground every other snap...? and alabama's OL pancakes the whole line about every other run, pretty frustrating

[YMRepresentuh]

The biggest part that I see needing to be adjusted has GOT TO BE the DBs running the routes better than my own recievers & often ahead of my Wide Outs...I thought I was just missing the seperation or something, but I'm obviously not the only one with this issue by looking at this forum....Seriously, what is going on with that....?...Hope the Devs pay attention...

No matter what, I'm still happy cause it's football time...!!!

Well this is something new for me, I'm into week 2 of playing the demo...

[zmcman1]

Played my first four games of Heisman tonight, went 4-0.

Alabama 21, Florida State 0
Alabama 17, Florida State 7 (absolutely ridiculous TD run for them...ran over my LB immediately after landing from a hurdle, then spun off my SS)
Florida State 7, Alabama 0
Florida State 10, Alabama 0

Nothing too ridiculous outside of the lone TD run for FSU. Was able to shut down T-Rich for the most part except for one 15yd run.

NCAA 12 HERE COMES THE....HERE COMES THE.....BOOOOOOMMM!!
