Still d/ling..Watched Pasta FSU and Bama game and it didnt look too bad. Tackling did look alot better and cpu running looked better also.
I know every single one of those 200 custom sounds will be needed since the commentary and atmosphere is so stale and boring. I might be able to enjoy this years game...Still waiting on the D'L

Let's hope that the player editor would allow for height, weight, and hairstyle changes this year.
Is it just me, or can anyone else not scramble as good as on NCAA 11?

Does commentary sound better to anybody else? I have heard a new line or two, and it sounds better
I see they didn't fix the broken hurry up offenses for spread teams. Sure some spread teams don't huddle, but they also wait 20-30 seconds to get the play called in from the sideline and sub guys in and out. Not every teams hurries to the line and snaps the ball within 10 seconds of the last play unless you're Gus Malzahn. I know its a minor gripe, but its one that irritated me from last year.
Other than that the game plays what I expected which feels like a more polished version of NCAA 11.

Finally got my first win against CPU on heisman.
I was FSU and beat bama 3-0 in overtime.
Zone played a lot better in this one, my CPU controlled d-line had 5 sacks. But, on the flip side, not a single CPU scramble once again even with just nobody in front of him, broad daylight. Havent seen a single scamble yet.

I think the games feel way too ping-pong ish. Players move way too fast, game is arcadish. No interactive sidleines, interesting presentation. Little to no effort with everything. Not buying.

Ok, played 5 games, all on Heisman. I'll go ahead and skip to the bottom line: This is a DAMN GOOD game that is improved in just about every area. Plays a really good game of football on Heisman without feeling cheated at all. Very impressive.
Pros:
--CPU RB AI is light years ahead of any previous NCAA game. It is incredible how much better the CPU RBs make cuts, etc.
--Zone defense much improved.
--Pass rush and LBs shooting gaps much improved. Very impressive pass rush, even on Heisman.
--Shotgun running is much improved, again...even on Heisman.
--The new tackling engine and the lack of suction is instantly noticeable and very imrpessive all the way around.
Cons:
--still not seeing many penalties. Pass Interference still nonexistent.
--CPU QB holds the ball way too long without either a. throwing the ball away or b. scrambling. No College QB worth his salt is going to hold the ball 7-8 seconds without getting rid of it.
--Too many all out/jailbreak blitzes by the CPU. This is a big reason for the Humans thrashing the CPU when the CPU keeps zero blitzing and leaving defenders one on one or even leaving a WR wide open. Blitzing is fine. Alll out blitzing is not.
--A few too many instances of my entire Defensive line/Front seven getting pancaked simultaneously by the CPU. Typical on Heisman, but needs to be toned down regardless.
On a side note, Oregon refuses to run out of Shotgun in this Demo. I swear they threw 95% of the time.

Also, is it just me or is cover 2 zone useless on heisman? I dont understand how I am supposed to stop hitches. They kill man, so so I run zone, and my LBs just stand a yard behind the WR and let him catch it every time? What play do you run to stop hitches and comebacks?

I think the other issue is the fact that no huddle teams can't subsistute players in between plays like in real life. For instance Oregon came out in a 4 WR 1 TE formation, and then the next play ran a formation that called for a RB. Since the no huddle teams can't substitute between plays they had to line up the TE from previous play at the RB position and gave him the ball.
I said this last year, but to mimic spread teams correctly they need to slow down the pace that they snap the ball in between plays and allow for them to make substitutions between plays.

I just havent seen a single scramble yet in 5 heisman games....
But as I have been playing more and more I am seeing many improvements, the running game is much better on BOTH ends (CPU and user).
My biggest issues were things I saw in the two user games I played, but heisman vs CPU is good football. Still needs tweaks but lets see what the tuner does for it.

If this was a PC game, these are the kind of improvements you would get released in a patch about two months after the initial launch date. Complete b.s. that they couldn't have fixed more gameplay issues in a full year's worth of development time. I'm not expecting a brand new game, but this effort is just not very good at all - it's basically what '11 should have been, with many issues STILL unresolved.
Since it's EA they get the luxury of releasing NCAA 11.5 and selling it for $60. Yet another year passes with no competition from another developer...

I must be blind but I'm not seeing this 3-D grass people are talking about. Running game feels and looks better. Defense seems a lot tighter with the A.I making some of the sacks for my team which is a first. For some reason the graphics in general to me look dated.
anyone else download the demos on both ps3/360... I noticed the 360 version was alot cleaner and crisp.. had alot less hiccups in cut scenes as well
Ok so even with my samsung tv i cant even tell for sure if they finally got the Longhorns field correct. Its supposed to be field turf like it has been in real life for 3 years. Can anyone tell me if the field is turf? I seriously cant tell. to me it looks like turf in the replays where you see "3d" but id like another opinion
I can see a lot of improvements this year, but there's one main thing that will keep me from buying: it doesn't feel like football.
3 things prevent it mainly from feeling like football:
1. Animations
EA's next-gen football games have always had very quirky animations. The players don't give the illusion of running, cutting or jumping. They just kind of glide across the field.
2. Passing Game
Once again, the passing game doesn't get any love. There is still barely any control in the passing game. Its either a bullet pass or lob, nothing in betweem. Putting any touch on the ball is impossible.
3. Weird interactions between players
When WR's and DB's bump its a very akward and weird interaction, like the engine doesn't know what to do. I think EA needs to implement the physics system from their NHL and Fifa series to help in these situations. Bumping and small interactions need to be much more realistic.
