I had the same problem. Somebody already started a thread about that.

If you had problems you should post there too. If enough people are having this problem maybe EA will take notice and be able to do something about it.

PS3 jaggies? Again? It's the very reason I didn't buy NCAA 12. Everyone on 360 is amazed at the graphics while the ps3 seems to suffer, why?

Also, the speed on very slow is much faster than I anticipated and I don't really like it. Tacklers seem to pinball off the runner a lot more because of it.

Damn, might have to cancel my pre-order.

You almost have to take impression threads with a grain of salt. As soon as someone has an anomaly happen to them in the game, they bring it back to the board as if to suggest it happens all the time . That's not to say the game doesn't have faults b/c it does. Just seems some don't use any judgement...

In any event, I'm really liking Gameflow this year. I like that I have choices. My only complaint about it is that whenever I have a 3rd and long with the Bears offense, it always suggests 'Four Verticals'. Perhaps that's a result of their default gameplan but give me some variety!

Still, this may be my preferred method of playcalling. It's really intuitive. Last year, I felt like Gameflow would get in the way of the presentation. From what I can tell, it doesn't at all.

had fun with the game, there are a lot welcomed improvements, to name a few:
1. dback individual adjustments
2. assisted tackling
3. i like the camera angles, and the lighting
4. the weight added to defenders when trying to change direction
5. i like the kicking meter

i only have a few complaints so far:
1. the CPU QB snaps the ball to fast
2. feeling suction when playing as a d-lineman.
3. still seeing the psychic db's
4. receivers with warp speed are still here as well as some defenders hitting warp speed to make a play on the ball carrier
5. unable to view the entire replay of a play similar to years past, hopefully this is only a demo issue and won't be in the retail.

Here's 2 vids I found on youtube of the ps3 and 360 versions. I sold my ps3 a while back so I can't compare. I mainly just play sports games and the 360 controller and multiplats had me using that mainly. But I don't know. The ps3 seems to be doing ok. These vids the 360 version just looks more colorful and cartooney. The ps3 version actually looks smoother to me and more realistic. REplays also seem to zoom in closer on the ps3 version. These vids are small though so I can't see jaggies. The ps3 demo of NCAA definately was blurry, muddy and jaggy. I had a ps3 then. That's why I sold it. I wasn't even using it. The 360 version definately seems to pop more and is more crisp graphically while the ps3 version is more faded. You can see it on the field. Probably due to the gpu but it looks more like graphics to me. The ps3 seems more fluid and realistic looking. Better contrast and animations seem smoother at times. The ps3 has a better cpu.

Ok I've played two full games of just Qb sneak with Cutler and it was always the same, speed burst up the middle 5 yards, 4 yards 4 yards etc... It's unstoppable can't imagine what it would be with Vick. And the only reason I found this was because my friend told me about it, so far it happens all the time. Oh and this was on All-Madden. This needs to be fixed asap.

Going by how Madden has been historically increases the sample size for the series (maybe not 12, but for the series). Madden has a history of this. I played on All Pro and All Madden, adjusting speed. I didn't adjust any other sliders, but that just tells me it's another year of fighting sliders to try and make things more realistic. Unfortunately, changing one slider to make something more realistic in Madden, tends to skew realism in another area. Don't know how to respond to this. He gave his stats. Pretty much matched what I and others experienced. I would call that feedback.

I'll just quote everything here.

Never been a next gen sports game where I played with sliders out of the box. I'm testing for quite some time before I get comfortable with where I'm at. I'm a stickler for seasonal averages.

Comes with the territory for me.

Again I will point out that hot routes are in the demo, with the strat pad press "up" on your dpad and this will give you the option to select a receiver to call a hot route on. I dont blame you for not seeing this however because what you said is true about not being able to find stuff jn this thread hopefully you see this post
