Quite annoying bc I've seen some good chances for pile ups and hang tackling and each time the animation just plays thru and the other tacklers bounce off and don't grab on or cause impact.

I agree, it bugs me when my running back bounces off a tackle, is clearing stll on his feet able to run but the stumbling animation plays out and he falls down. Like you said with the defenders, the 2nd guy just bounces off instead of adding on to the tackle.

Some other glitches: Floating ball in endzone after scores IE decides ball carrier is not down after hitting the ground (so he gets to keep running lol) AI Center stands over ball but never hikes it...let's playclock run down Commentators say I should have thrown the ball away when I throw it away Playcall screen lags to the point I cannot call a defense play when the AI no huddles

Yea the more I play the demo the less i'm enjoying it. I can't remember the last time a demo had so many major glitches that happen. While I haven't experienced this, people have had OT games where a team gets 2 possessions in a row when the other team is supposed to get the ball. That's not a minor thing. Even for a demo that shouldn't happen.

I've seen the floating ball in the endzone everytime someone scores, not just once or twice now. And when it happens the play clock runs down to 0 and the team gets a delay penalty. I haven't experienced the center just taking off downfield like others have but i've seen the one where the ball carrier decides he's not down and gets up and continues running. Lag with the playcalling screen is beyond ridiculous when you're on defense and the cpu is running the no huddle, doesn't give you enough time to pick a play. CPU still can't cover 4 verticals and when you run no huddle on offense the CPU doesn't change their play.

I swear i've been trying hard to see all the positives everyone is raving about but I can't understand how EVERY game i've played so far i'm seeing pretty major glitches yet I come on here and people are raving about how great things are. Surely these people are having similar issues if it happens to me every game I play.

Yes it's a demo but I can't remember an NCAA demo having such ridiculous glitches. At this point i'm too frustrated with the demo to consider buying the retail version. Atmosphere is stale other than when Seven Nation Army plays and the game gets boring after a while. Presentation is lame as well with the preset cutscenes, stale commentary and lack of emotion after things like a touchdown.

Were you playing as VT because that sounds accurate.

Here's the thread - and it's in my sig. http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-glitch-i.html 171 votes for. For the love of Pete don't let this be in the final game.

SMH. The DB glitch is still there? That is unacceptable. The game is unplayable in my eyes if that is the case.

I really hope this is fixed in the retail version. I kept wondering why I was getting so wide open deep. I swear people who played this at E3 said it was fixed. And when you add this to the fact that passes in the middle of the field are too easy its a recipe for disaster. And its unfortunate because there are so many improvements this year.

I'm gonna try to stay optimistic.

Yeah, man, thanks for being a champion about this issue last year. Hopefully our voices are heard on this issue and addressed in a day one patch, but I know that's just wishful thinking. Out of all of the glitches I mentioned, this one hurts the game the most. On the playcalling lag I can just pretend the AI offense is too fast for my D...on the announcing miscues I can just ignore it or turn off the announcers...etc. etc.

I just want the good ol' days back when we would come in here and just have "who loves this game more" fests and brag about calling in sick and forgetting our wedding anniversaries because we're having so much fun.

It's still alot of positives with the weight of the players, some fun collision animations and quirks that play out because of the IE (I got hit going over the middle and my WR did the SPLITS lol!) and the improvements to the option game. But man, the glitches the glitches. I won't support the full game either until I hear these issues are being addressed or at least acknowledged and considered.
