NO..u can really feel the difference in the blocking AI. run the right lanes and u can really do damage. Demarco Murray is a beast

For those that played the demo, a question about defense for you. Does it feel like you can sit in a base defense all day and be successful. From the past iterations, you could just go with a bland zone or Cover 3 and stop anything. You could use it all game (especially against the hurry up offense) and not have an issue. Is it the same this year?

I'm not totally writing the game off, I'm just seeing some things that are a cause for concern with my right now.

I know of a level that actually takes away all the warping and passing is more off target very realistic

But right now if you want a challenge in the demo then yeah Heisman level is the way to go.....

On the Final version i'll show you how to reduce the warping to the ball syndrome......

It's less noticeable on the lower levels you'll see in July

I played 1 game, I was Miami at Ohoi St. I won 13-7 in Overtime. I thought overall the game played really good. If the couple problems people are seeing are fixed this game is gonna be a great game of football. I had a lot of fun playing the game and it's only a Demo!

That's good to hear, I will have faith in you Playmakers. You always do good work with your sliders!

Watch the play on the video and explain that one to me. Seems like he ran the right lane for the sweep.

is this something that's going to be called cheese later in the season?

just going to guess, but the game speed slider isn't activated in the demo is it?

can someone comment on game speed?

# 529 charga21 @ 06/14/10 04:05 PM

anybody mind posting vids of gameplay?

# 530 TheShizNo1 @ 06/14/10 04:06 PM

I was all excited to download this and play. Downloaded it, played a half and no longer have a desire to play. I didn't not like it, and it def seems to be a different game, but for whatever reason, i have no desire to play this demo a million times like i have in previous years

MINOR improvements and tweaks to the same old game and engine(s). They throw out catchy tech terms for their "features" ie; "Pro-tak", "Locomotion" etc. I mean, if you step back and look at it for what it is, they actually have to pump and tout gang tackles and realistic player movement? Shouldn't these things be in football titles on pretty powerful hardware by now, 2010? It's not that the games are AWFUL, it's that they are just OLD and STALE. Tweaks and minor improvements aren't cutting it anymore, not for me. After playing this demo i cannot overcome the feeling of blandness. No exitement or juice, it doesn't grip me. I want to love these games badly, like i used to for many years. EA Tiburon just hasn't done anything with this generation of hardware. Even other EA Sports titles are flat out better. NHL, Fight Night, FIFA. Not to mention other sports games like sony's MLB the show. You see what other developers have done with this hardware (even non sports titles) and its depressing to think what Football COULD and SHOULD be by now. EA will never give us a "new" football experience this generation. They will keep tweaking the existing game. That holds for a few weeks then after those tweaks wear off, its the same old game nuts and bolts.

Hmm...somehow I missed the "impression" part of that post. If you have specific comments about the demo, let's hear them.

I was initially concerned by that as well, but I then took a step back and reminded myself that this does happen sometimes.

Linebacker pickups are some of the toughest things a lineman has to do, and I know from personal experience how frustrating it can be to watch a linemen pull and not even see the guy he was going for.

A good linebacker will recognize the pull and take an angle that is sharp enough that the lineman can't pick him up.

Let's wait until a pattern is present before calling it a bad thing when it could be quite the opposite.

I'm all for giving the benefit of the doubt on the demo. The pulling lineman and leadblockers issue has been around for a couple of years though. As long as my center doesn't decide not to block the nosetackle on a goalline dive play this year, I'm going to call it progress.

You can't forget that this is a demo. This is not what you'll be paying for a month from now.

Won playing with Clemson and Texas, lost with FSU and Miami. I like the changes in gameplay, blocking is so much better, (could be to good), had a sack glitch where I could not sack the qb while he just stood there with his back turned to the D. He would not get rid of the ball and just stood in the pocket backwards surrounded by the O line.

I like the game and will pick it up on release.

# 537 Eski33 @ 06/14/10 04:32 PM

Best demo ever. Playing NCAA 11 compared to NCAA 10 is almost like playing a PS One game in NCAA 10 to a 360 / PS3 game in 2011. The Locomotion is everything that was written about it. Playing defensive line is fun as hell. No more getting sucked into blocks.

The presentation, graphics, and animations have me pumped for July 13....Outstanding...

Is accelerated clock in the game?? Apologies if this has be asked already. Cheers.

Not completely. The final game ships more refined usually.

Even at that and how harsh some of the folks around here can be I must say that this far and away the most "overall positive" feedback and environment for one of these that I've seen for quite some time.

I'm encouraged. I'm looking forward to finally taking the demo for a spin on the PS3 when it finally shows up.

Anyone else had any issues with your QB (or backup) returning punts, kicks, and kicking extra points? Seems like it's a random occurance.
