CPU picks defense when winning the coin toss in overtime. Finally.

Why are the visuals so damn ugly on my ps3, looks horrible.

After taking another look at mine (I thought it was decent) but they are a lil poor anyways, PS3 cuts their demo to make it smaller, it will be much better come release.

Isn't the PS3's demo size bigger than 360's, though? It's like 3 gigs...

Read up on the difference between available texture RAM for the PS3 compared to the 360. You will find your answer.

I know NCAA historically looks and plays better on the 360, because it was made for that system and ported to ps3, but I was impressed with ncaa 11 on ps3, it was.clean for the most part. But I feel like it's taken a step back the last few years visually on ps3.

I've also seen the WRs make great catches, with the DBs barely missing a deflection or a diving pick. The amount of psychic BS and unreal animations are drastically reduced...DRASTICALLY..at least in my experience so far.

That's been my experience so far, AA. Very impressed with the WR's and DB's interactions.

Correct, HUGE difference in my opinion!! The running and passing gameplay both feel much better than NCAA 12, especially passing. Seems that the WR's dont have a bad case of the drops this year. That bothered me so bad in 12. I have seen some drops but at least they make sense this year.

I have only seen the AI choose offense ONE time on coin tosses and I have played maybe 15 games on the demo. An that's for any coin toss, not just OT.

If there's anything about this year's game that concerns me it's the AI's offensive decision making late in a game while behind in points. On several occasions they were running the ball on the last play of the game when it they should have been passing. I'm chalking that up to an early build or maybe the shorter (3 minute) quarters are throwing the AI off in the demo......that remains to be seen.

Overall, I am enjoying the game and can't wait for July 10th
