Yeah this will be huge for navigating while recruiting, and as TKO said, rosters.

I agree menu navigation on the ps3 sucked money balls and always took for ever to log you into EA server as well as bring you into the main menu. It looked nice load very slow. I always had to walk away or do something while it loaded that should never happen :fp: .. I'm glad it is fixed now!
Check out the TE downfield blocking at the 4:50 mark of the video. It's a zone block stretch play and the TE ends up free so instead of standing around getting in the RB's way he heads downfield and blocks the CB on the outside. He does it naturally, instinctually, quickly. Unfortunately the WR doesn't do so well on the play running right by the same CB (already engaged with the TE) and heading downfield to block nobody. I'm very impressed with that and very encouraged, I just wish the WR would have either engaged in a double-team on the CB to seal the outside or headed inside sooner to block a safety or a pursuing player. Good stuff!!
Unfortunately on the very next play, a toss sweep to the right with the RG pulling, the RG #58 pulls correctly but runs right by a LB. They bump shoulders but the RG makes no attempt to block him instead letting him get into the backfield to make the tackle. Hmm.
when is the standard Demo release day for games is it Tuesday or Thursday or can they just drop whenever they want?

according to this looks like possible next tuesday the 18th for 360!
What's up with the punt at the 5:30 mark? It looks like the ball bounces but then it's magically in the hands of the return man. It's hard to see exactly what happened but it doesn't look right.
I know I'm nitpicking, sorry to those who don't want to read this stuff. This is what happens when there is only one video to watch.
I'm pretty sure that he caught it normally (but had to run up to it since the punter shanked it and I don't think that's the return guy, but one of the blockers) but it looks weird because of the bad zoom cam angle.
I can't wait to see the coordinator cam. I really don't see how anyone can play on the zoom cam. Defenders come flying into the screen from out of nowhere and before you even have time to react to them they're already tackling you.
WR blocking looks really good in this video. I'm loving it. Check out the WR blocks on the play at the 5:55 mark. OSU has two guys on the right side of the formation. The inside WR blocks his man out of the screen while the outside WR engages with his CB well and maintains his block throughout the play. So awesome!
The touchdown at the 8:00 mark seems a little weird. It's an option play and the QB immediately has a HUGE hole right up the middle which I think 99 times out of 100 a QB is taking that hole but instead the CPU QB hesitates then makes a very awkward pitch to a guy that has a DE nearly on him but he's able to get around him and score. Seems like the CPU out-thought itself on that play. Would have probably been a score either way though so I guess the point is moot.
What I liked about it was that it did look like the CPU QB thought about it. I'm not sure it was the best decision, but it looked like the AI did make a decision. Bad decisions are cool when they look like the AI is really thinking and not just broken. If that makes sense. This has me very hopeful for vast improvements in the CPU AI this year.
Any PS3 videos?

Liking what I see! But I really hate that screenwipe after TD's -_- I noticed one thing about B.P. Stadium, I saw a lot of white in the crowd, Boone Pickens name signage isn't in the endzone, two videoboards in the corners aren't there, and the BIGXII 2011 Champ Banner isn't hanging in the endzone. I know it's really minor but I really like to see little things like that fixed imeadiately. Gameplay wise, this is looking really solid
Steve also said this "The AI makes open field moves, jukes, spins, etc. in NCAA Football 14. Really nice to see!! AI QBs also look for their #1 receiver more."
Very happy about the #1 WR thing. That really started bothering me the last couple years. (I'm not sure how to capture tweets like Tommy Edit - just figured it out)
The momentum is MUCH more defined then what we saw in the first GP vid earlier. This is obviously an upgraded build, as I expected. The game looks like it's playing at a slightly slower pace than previously, which is fine I guess. RL football happens much quicker though, but that's ok.
That screenwipe after TD's is the stupidest thing they could've added. Other than that, the post play and other wipes are fluid and add to the game nicely. Would still like to see more movement pre play by the cpu linebackers. They move a little bit more than they used to but I'd like to see more still, really challenge the LOS and make you think about them. Not every one, every play, but someone most of the time. Same for CB's faking bump and the like. Hopefully next gen gives us that type of stuff.
CPU running the option was CLEAN. Except for the mistaken read on the pitch (which actually was also there so it's not too horrible), The keeps by the QB and the intention to get up the field was nice to see, and the throw on the post was nice too (though cpu misses a TD on the wheel route and overthrows the flat instead on a previous play). QB throw animation looks a bit more compact, but maybe that's just me wanting things to look better :P Can't wait to see more later tn
VG sports just said it was offical. June 18th the demo will be out for both PS3 and XBOX 360
Dang well its about time we know a date. It's late this year oh well one more week! I will have to download it for both systems to see which platform plays it the best and go from there. I usually buy ps3 but might 360 this year I dunno.
Come on demo!!!
Waiting for gameplay... :bang:

its rather surprising that by now there aren't a few individuals that aren't the typical big 3 or 5 sites we of online who don't just upload some stuff on youtube of their own. I'm subscribed to like 50 sports gamers on youtube LOL.
oh sure, theres some Madden but no NCAA . Unless its some shy internet dweebs who only let friends see their stuff ?
Not sure if it's just cause SC's uni's are darker but they don't seem to have any degradation at all.
Hopefully Madsci uploads the rest of that Michigan game tonight.
I bet we start seeing a flood of videos come Friday.

I've talked to both Steve Noah and Madscientist and they both said the Internet is crappy and that they are having trouble uploading
is it just me or does the #97 D-tackle look like he's 10 feet tall compared to LG #63 for oregon?
Check the dude on the far left :D HULK SMASH!!!! :D
