I didn't notice a lot of difference with this game. But a lot of small things that improved it some. I was definitely hoping for more. If 12 played like this with a patch it would have been.... hey nice work. The fact that it is a new game leaves me underwhelmed.

I did like the read react. But sometimes it seemed they just programmed the defender to always look for the ball so that it would appear he was looking at it when he made the play rather than having to look for it before making it.

Seemed much smoother, I like the punt return setup but is still seems that the blocks are not great. Don't think special teams got the adjustments I was hoping for.

Read option seems 200% better than it has ever been. Never ran a triple option or pitch so not sure how that worked out but the sped up read option was nice and you will get burned by a good team if you don't contain.


I also think the crowd reacted more appropriately but still seemed way to quiet for me. Especially in Death Valley?
Like it but not in love with it. It's a must buy for me every year, but still feel like not enough improvement was made. Of course I don't remember a year where the demo played anything like what I got when retail came. Unfortunately retail usually has a patch right away that ruins some gameplay aspect. We will see in a few weeks!

I've been pretty impressed with everything. The crowed reacting properly and everything looks a little more smooth. Just one thing I'm not liking. Almost every tackle is the same. The dude gets stood up so another guy can come in and finish. It's realistic, but every play? I hope it was just that game.

I understood what he was saying. The controls are too easy for the task.....be open minded in your praise and criticism.

For the people complaining about tackles. We will be getting RTP next year so no worrys.

Is it me or did they still manage to add momentum to the game. There were a lot of animations for what seemed to be stop and start speed for defenders. Although it is a bit fast on natural play speed so maybe my eyes just werent adjusted

Pretty disappointed. Other than it being a little more smooth, it felt like I was playing NCAA 12. No new cleats make the game look old, and the jerseys/player models look the exact SAME. I will probably NEVER play the Heisman Challenge. I did like how the crowd reacted to different plays, and the chants. I also know that the demo is certainly not the finished product but it didnt leave a good impression with me. Ive been buying CFB games since I was 6 years old and will buy this one, but EA has to step it up.

I'll admit I had fun playing the demo. More than I thought I would. It is smoother and I saw some new animations.
Running the ball seemed better as in running into your your guys and having to move around them.
I love being able to throw passes in anticipation of the WRs breaks. Defensive end pressure WAS NICE!!! The game looked beautiful.

If the sliders work... this could be a great game. Maybe I will buy. I'm still going to hold off until others buy the game and see if it's as polishes as it needs to be, but it looks promising. Still bummed about no Infinity.
