I disagree...the crowd looks bad. For next gen it should be better. Looks like Tecmo Bowl crowd compared to some of the other graphics in the game.

Crowd shouldn't be a big deal and shouldn't be noticed. But it stands out when it's noticably bad.

Its not worth arguing over.... He obviously doesn't understand.

If you disable the 720P and 1080i settings in your PS3 system menu the demo will play at full 1080P just like on the 360. It looks much better (cleaner, less flickering), not sure why it defaults to 720P when it looks so much better in 1080P even if it's upscaled. The replays stutter badly on the PS3 though opposed to the 360. And the lag when play calling is something to get used too.

Otherwise I'm gaining faith in the PS3-Version.

Was it my imagination, or was ZERO gameclock or playclock run while the AI was choosing offensive plays?

You can't really expect current gen hardware to make crowds as good as on field players. Polycount and the likes ...
 
# 1046 canes21 @ 06/15/10 12:57 PM
No said we wanted crowds over ESPN, but we just want the crowds to match the quality of everything else. Theres nothing wrong with wanting them to improve the game. EA has many different departments. So them working on the crowd would not stop all work on locomotion.

A more likely answer to why the crowds are not improved would be frame rate. Higher rez would make the frame rate harder to keep up.

I wouldn't sweat it Canes- clearly a guy who is posting in the middle of a workday, on a video game forum, about a bloody demo should be telling others to get a life for not sharing the same opinion as him.

I have to agree with this. I'm extremely disappointed with the lack of sacks (both by myeslf and the cpu). The pocket just seems to last forever while the OL/DL are locked in this weird dance. I'm praying for responsive sliders, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Just so I'm not a downer, that's about my only b!tch. This game is freakin' beautiful otherwise. Still a purchase for me, to be sure, I just really, really, really hope there's a fix to help us "defensive minded" guys out.

The game is awesome! The team at EA did a great job this year. The locomotion is just awesome. The cut scenes are great. Everything about this game I like so far. The ESPN overlays and presentation are great as well.

There is some lag at some point during the play calling and stuff but its okay, I'm sure it will be worked out before the game comes out.

anyone else not breaking any tackles except with juke moves and spins?
 
# 1052 RamblinWreck21 @ 06/15/10 01:12 PM
Both times I've played OSU, Pryor has gone robo-QB all over me. I think I'm officially going to play with a heavy adjusted sliders Varsity or All American setting in the full retail version. I just can't take the robo QB.

On launch day, I always jump into practice mode, offense only, and run up and down the field trying out all the controls and getting a feel for the speed of the game. After that, I can compete with all the young'uns out there.
Well I just turned 34 in May and have found myself sometimes doing the same thing I used to make fun of my dad for doing years ago, which is having to look at my controller from time to time while playing to make sure I hit the right button. My how times have changed.

Back to the game though.......EA appears to be taking a step in the right direction with presentation, but aside from the passing game, the game still feels like the same old engine we've been seeing for years on PS3 with just a few tweaks here and there. I'm still unable to run sweeps and tosses with any success and blockers still run by defenders they should be hitting. Hopefully on the retail version I'll be able to slow things down a bit and appreciate the game more, but as of right now I just don't feel like this game is going to meet my expectations once again. I'm still waiting for the "WOW" factor that I had the first time that I played an NCAA game for the PS2 after upgrading from a PS1. So far I've yet to experience that with any PS3 NCAA Football game.

The problem is the final version will probably screw us over. You could change last years demo to 1080 as well, but when they retail game came out it would only go 720

Ran one back with texas opening kickoff, right down the sideline.
 
# 1056 stoncold32 @ 06/15/10 01:27 PM
Has anyone had a QB take off and run on them?

I havent seen it yet.

I hope this isnt indicative of the final game? Even Pryor has not done anything but pass
 
# 1057 jsquigg @ 06/15/10 01:29 PM
Not to get in the way of the "intriguing" crowd debate, but I played all the match-ups last night and wanted to pass on my observations:

As has been stated, the presentation is exponentially better than any previous version of NCAA on next/current gen. I still saw some issues here and there where there was an inappropriate celebration after an incomplete pass, but it is MUCH improved.

I actually like the new play calling system. It is great for the hurry up offense.

While the game is extremely fun to play, I hope there are some issues smoothed out before the retail version comes out:

There were too many turnovers, especially for 2 min. quarters, in the games I played.

As a result of the turnovers, there were too few punts.

I know that the teams in the game weren't ideal for the spread option because most the QBs are pocket passers (minus Pryor), but something still doesn't feel right about the option or running game in general.

The CPU play calling still needs work IMO.

I know it sounds critical, but if the retail version just tweaks some things, it will be a great game, especially if sliders are effective.

I wouldn't care if he was the pope. I don't think its right to tell others to get a life for not agree with what he finds important. He didn't need to insult the guy for having a different opinion.

I did vs clemson. Had everyone covered perfectly, then a hole opened up. He juked past my MLB and went untouched for an 11 yard touchdown.

Clemson's QB took off and ran on me a few times. Pryor tried a few times as well, although he eventually just threw the ball away most the time.
